Re: PP: Early play...who cares?
You are wrong, stop arguing. The chips that you aren't winning have to go someplace, and that place is your opponents stack.
Let's take an example
Player A doesn't care about early play so he sits and waits for AA or KK and gets AA on level 4 when his stack has been dwindeling, so he has 775 left and his 9 other opponents have 1025. Lucky for him he gets called and doubles up to 1550 and knocks 1 opponent down to 250 and the rest have 1025. A good situation to be in.
Player B decides that he likes to play the early game and decides to try to win as many chips as he can from the start of the tournament. When he picks up AA in level 4 he has built his stack up to 1225, while the rest of his 9 opponents have 975. Lucky for him he gets 1 caller and his AA holds up giving him 2200 in chips, while 1 person is knocked out and the 8 others have 975. He has more than 2x as many chips as everybody else! A very favorable situation.
