Re: Why it sucks to stroll in late sometimes
[ QUOTE ]
who cares if you show up late? you can't win the tournament in the first level. i'd rather have T10,000 than T9,500, but for some people it's not that big of a deal.

Yes, but you can get yourself in better chip position, figure out your opponents, have extra time versus the morons who may be gone by the time you get there, actually HAVE the full aount of chips you paid for, and get a feel for how the table is playing in general.
There isn't a single reason for a top player to do this that is not -EV, period. But if sleep/relaxation/jitters/recognition means that much to them, fine by me. I'll be the one taking their blinds and running the table while they're gone.
