Me too. I mean aside from the baseline number of 1/2 players who get obliterated at 5/10 because they're idiots in general.
With the caveat that I've never been to Vegas during the WSOP, it just seems like the bell curve for people who travel to Vegas during the WSOP is going to be shifted skillward over people who travel to Vegas outisde of WSOP. For those on the far right of the skill curve, this is great because instead of having a single, occasional 10/20 NL or 80/160 LHE, there will be multiple games and a crusher can probably beat all of them. But for people in the center-right of that skill curve, like solid winners at 2/5 NL - 15/30 LHE or small winners at 5/10 NL - 40/80 LHE, I can't imagine this is a feast. And certainly for the center-left of the skill curve, like solid 1/2 NL - 6/12 LHE or small 2/5 NL - 15/30 LHE winners, this is probably worse than usual.
Again, I'm not presenting this as expert opinion, just wondering if someone out there who is admittedly a non-stellar regular player wants to give an opinion from the middle of the bell curve.
