Playing in the WCOOP main event

[PhilTheThrill14]

"You can't have fun when you're playing above your comfortable threshold for a stake."

Says who? You?

"He will not learn anything playing in that tournament that he wont learn playing in other multitable tournaments with smaller buyins."

Says who? You?

Your comments make little practical sense as well - as they are generic and unfounded. Of course he can have fun - it's not like he has put up the actual $500 to enter - it's almost like a freeroll (I said almost) situation for him. I know I could have fun and the stakes would be way above my usual stakes - and I mean way. He'll get the experience (learn what it's like) of playing for high stakes - he won't get that playing in the lower buy-in tournies you speak of.

I think your response was incorrect - can you provide me with something to backup your belief that he can't have fun playing for high stakes (do you know him?) and that he won't learn anything useful that he couldn't already learn in a low(er) buy-in MTT? I just don't see it.
