Thank You for saying this Jon! Allen you can't keep complaining for moar play as what Jimmy says is true that if you give moar it costs more for the casinos to staff it and the dealers get killed by "deep stacked" small buy in events.
The old Commerce (before I was there) $500's and below gave 1,000-1,500 in chips and went
25-25
25-50
50-100
100-200
if you want that back I am sure Jimmy, Johnny, Tab, and others would be willing to introduce a lower rake/dealer-staff fee.
I have and will never be I support of "bonus chips" but also think deep stack tournaments are just a gimmick (a very successful one mind you) also. The WSOP pre 2006 gave dollar for dollar in chips and the players thought the structures were great! I did however give every level in the prelims and 75 minutes in the money and 90 at the final table in 2002-2004. Do you think it is ideal that you can be in Las Vegas for almost 10 days in the WSOP Main now and not even cash?
I know you may not believe or understand this but there are MANY people that feel that tournaments are too long and prefer to play in turbos and what I agree are total crapshoots ala GSR.
You are actually fighting on both sides of this issue Allen so I think you need to pick one and stick with it.
