Default Cloutier plays 10+1!?

from this article...

Cloutier wins sixth WSOP bracelet

[ QUOTE ]
Cloutier lauded the new generation of internet players, saying they build a great base playing online and are then able to step into a real-life cardroom and stare grizzled veterans square in the eye. In fact, Cloutier said that he himself plays $11 single-table tournaments online almost every night to keep on top of his game.

well, I hope now that he has a sixth bracelet he makes the big step to, I don't know... the 20+2? With his $657,100, prize for this latest win, he could use this for online poker and have about a 30,000 buy-in roll at those stakes.

Also, I'm not sure if the 10+1 really is the best place to keep on top of ones game. But then again, I won't argue with TJ Cloutier.

Seriously though, I think this has to either be a misprint, or horribly taken out of context.

Regards

He probably plays one every now and then before bed. I mean if it was between playing an $11 or getting in bed next to his wife, I think the decision is easy.

Its probably gotten to the point for TJ that the money is insignificant and he plays purely for recreational and fun.

My best guess that hasn't been posted is that he uses the $11's to (accurately) familiarize himself with playing against nine unknowns.

I can see it. Since the money means nothing whatsoever to him, he can try out new strategies with complete abandon. There is probably a fair amount to learn in figuring out how to beat the $11s for the most ridiculously gigantic ROI possible.
