Everyone has heard, "You can't win in the first round, but you can lose it." Not only can you not win, it makes little difference at the end.

I've been watching something I think is interesting. There appears to be little difference between having 2000 chips in Level 2 and 1000 chips in Level 4. There seems to be little to no connecting between winning a few, a lot, or no chips in the early rounds. Once the blinds climb up to 50/100 and beyond is where the game is won or lost. As long as you can compete, you have as good a chance as those who took risks early. (or got lucky)

As long as you don't LOSE many chips in the early rounds, it makes no difference.

Am I nuts? Could this be right?

eh...its sorta right I think. Thing is, doubling up early alone in not what guarantees success, but it can help you gain more chips later. Its like what they say "it takes money to make money"...well, more chips gain you more chips when it counts.
