2) The fish will hate this change. Can you imagine grinding for a day or two working and toiling to get a decent stack and then some pro who buys in late sits to your left and takes all of your chips. Especially when his 5k is basically chump change to him and you just spent like 2k to buy in and its probably your life savings?!?!? They are going to be pissed!
wait so you think that really good pro's like jaime gold have a big edge because they gamble early and can accumulate a big stack and this helps them win, so it would be bad to not let them accumulate that big stack late in the MTT but rather have to try and run up an avg stack once you hit the money?
and did you really just say that it would suck to grind 2 days make it to the money only to get busted out by a pro who just bought in and paid like 5x what you did?
i mean really? do you even think before you post? ever think maybe it might be a whole lot easier to make it to that point without all the pro's who would otherwise be playing at your table all of day 1?
i mean holy **** there is just some insanely terrible reasoning being put forth here.
