Thank you.

but for a player who is in over his head, it could be for the short term.

As a player who is in over his head, wouldn't you relish the opportunity to make the exact same play that phil ivey or doyle brunson or whoever you think is best would make? Why would you want to intentionally make the wrong play? Doesn't being in over your head present enough of a challenge?

Whereas it would be foolish for this to be done at any other time. Do you see my reasoning?

[/ QUOTE ]

Whether or not it is your reasoning, the effect is to make it far easier for everyone else to win a lot of money. It's rare to see this kind of altruism in the tournament poker world and I think you should be applauded for it.
