Terrible option.

As Greg said in his interview yesterday make the tourney 6 months long and the best player might win!

horrible post.
1)jimmy has 20k, rick has 200k. rick raises to 20k , jimmy calls. jimmy has 84o, rick has AA boards come 567KK and 99T42.
jimmy has 20k, rick has 200k, rick raises to 18 k ,jimmy calls. board comes 567...
2)I think the fact that the blinds are 50k/100k instead of 250k/500k kinda acomplish that, dont u think?
3)I have 99 I raise to 50k and tighty moves all-in for his last 100k. I know he has AA/KK/QQ/AK!! ...well pot odds dictate a call...oh wait now I need to figure out the odds with two boards..grrr thanks a lot desert cat.
4) I have KK and dumbydonkstupid goes all-in without looking at his cards, doh dumbydonkystupid has AA...welll dumbydonkeystupid is clearly a better player than me.

For the dumber ones:
1)ppl can still outdraw u without being all-in
2)no example given above
3)pot odds have to be worked out all again
4)luck is not only those percentages u have in the espn red box.

I'm shocked at how many people are actually debating this.
I was amused by the OP and then I was worried when I saw the responses.
