Starting chips - Poll
Situation:
10 player sit and go with 800 chips (sound familiar?) 1 out of 3 times you start with 0 chips 2 out of 3 times you start with 1600 chips and only 8 opponents. Would you play these sit and goes? Please note you're limiting your "in the money" finishes by 33% by playing these. This situation is an analogy to a situation that often occurs at the table and would like to get a consensus of how we deal with it. |

Re: Starting chips - Poll
Pass and its not even close. I'd rather fold the first 30 hands and start with a stack of T700 vs 5 or 6 others which is what almost always happens to me at Party.

Re: Starting chips - Poll
The analogy is similar to you being heads up, first hand of a sit and go and your opponent pushes all in on the flop when you're a 2:1 favorite.
The end result is the same as my poll (minus the $45 in blinds if neither of you were in the blinds). Interesting as I think most people would say go for it if you were in the actual hand situation. |

Re: Starting chips - Poll
So really we're talking about being all-in as a 2:1 favorite on the first hand. I'd absolutely take that. I can't imagine that it isn't +EV for anyone.

Play, and even if you value $/tourney more than $/hr., it is not even close.
