I don't play this tournament regularly, but I have played it many times over the last couple of years. It's not as bad a crapshoot as it may appear, simply for all the dead money. I am certain I have won more money than I have spent in entries and rebuys (Not that it matters a great deal, I just enjoy playing the tourney every one-in-a-while).
Oh yeah, one other reason...until very recently, it was the only game in town. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
You're just spoiled by the internet tournaments that give a good player a lot of time to outplay his opponents. This is live, and real-estate is important in the casino. The game is set up to draw a crowd, then end in 3 - 4 hours, leaving everyone time to play at the tables, or slots, or blackjack....you get the idea.
