Ok,this my third and final post.(hold the applause)
I should know to NEVER say 100%,and DG is a good dealer and a good guy.
I was comparing river#8 to river#2 just showing the improvements over
the years.So ya got me wrong on the point to Allen.
It was supposed to be capped at 504.
That takes me down to 95%.Show me proof I am wrong about the $54,000.
Or any thing else I said.
As for the pros I was referencing,it was the pros most people know by name.
Ask the average yahoo who Aaron is.

Definitely want your feedback and comments, and everybody else's. The decision-makers at WinStar definitely will not dismiss your comments, even if they don't agree with them, or don't make the proposed change(s).

As for the playing to 10% on the day ones issue, I have heard many people who prefer the method now in use, and many who prefer that we play the same amount of time each day one and come back short of the money on day 2. Overall, I honestly believe that most of those who have entered this event in the last few years do prefer the method currently being used. But we still want to hear your feedback, and are open to change.

Thanks, Greg Raymer (FossilMan)

Suggestion for next year:
They should make the main event 1 hour levels from the start.

I'd drive down from Mississippi if they did that, but that won't happen as it would prohibit playing down to the money on day one.

Kessler vs. Dealer Guy.

It's like what Kissinger said about the Iran/Iraq war: It's a pity they can't both lose.

Tex is right. We're almost certainly going to want to keep the current structure with respect to playing to the money on day 1. Hopefully we can make this event take more time from day 2 onward, and give more play once you're in the money.

What about stopping the blind increases at the same levels but playing to the money. Day 1c we played 2 more levels than 1a and 1b... What if we had just stopped the blinds at the same spot (2/4k/500) and kept playing until we hit the money?

I liked playing to the money, knowing I had to drive home and back but knowing we were ITM, but playing 2 extra levels sucked for short and mid stacks.

Not feasible...as large as day 1c fields historically have been, it would take until 4am at least to get ITM, and that would be terrible to play that long and then have to be back for day 2.

How about starting Day 1's at 10AM and then Day 2 at 3PM?

Continue to play down to the money but give players an extra 5 hours of sleep.

Day 3 would start with a consensus of the remaining players as to what time they wanted to re start.

I stopped trolling the Choctaw threads, thanks for returning the favor.

10am is no bueno. Day 2 could def start at 3.

One issue with Scott's idea and it would be unlikely but what if 1a plays 15 levels and 1b then gets to 10% in 13 or 14?
