The point you don't seem to be getting is that the "Sunday Finals" is the tournament. It has a 2k buy-in.

That is a direct quote from the site notice the word QUALIFIERS, which is exactly what they are, qualifiers for the main event on Sunday which you can also directly enter.

Yes, qualifier as in qualifying for the next round. Starting with a new stack instead of carrying over does not make it a new tourny.

The guys who are paying $2k are avoiding competition no matter how yoy slice it. It's not just that they are bad players (which is +EV I'll admit) but they are so bad they have to try to avoid what has been for four months the only way to get to the finals--namely the qualification round.

These few guys asked Greg for the ability to sidestep the qual round admittedly because they suck.

For guys who can supposedly understand Sklansky's books, I'm just amazed.

I'll try one more time.

These guys are AFRAID OF GETTING KNOCKED OUT OF THE QUALIFYING ROUNDS SO THEY WANT TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE FINALS.

It's the same as if the chokemaster Minnesota Vikings said to the NFL: Look, we never make it past Round 1 of the playoffs. Put us into the Conference Championship. And let the other teams play their Division playoffs as usual...

If Greg and Todd think this is okay, fine. It's their tourny. But the point is the $2k guys have an unfair advantage by not playing on Friday and Saturday because they are avoiding a possible knock out.

They are buying their way out of an early knock out.

I do not believe that Sunday is a seperate tounry. It's a continuation of The Friday and Saturday qualifying. You are qualifying to come back Sunday by making the top 20%.

These few guys are avoiding competition. And you guys support that option because you are as weak as them. You seem to be as afraid of competition as they are and just want the easy way out. Be honest, you know it's true.

As long as we accept the reality of this, I will too. That is if these weak guys want to buy their way out of an early knock out, ok. But let's not call it the equivalent of a satellite because it's not.
