Default Re: Main event \"get chips early\" logic skewed

The main reason for the "Get chips early" logic is that in the Main Event there are a lot of bad players who are going to do stupid things and dump chips. Good players want to play a lot of pots and have a chance to get these chips before the other good players have them and they become much harder to get.

The biggest mistake I saw bad players make in this year was getting too aggressive when they got short on chips. Pushing from MP with AJ when they still had enough for 10 rounds, for example. Pros generally target the two or three worse players at the table and will play a LOT of pots in position against them to try and get their money.
