novice question
PS tournamanents that have at least 800 players:
Excuse my ignorance, because I've only played about 20 of these at the $20 level. How do these players get to $8000-$10,000 chips within the first 10 minutes? Are people dumping to each other or just throwing caution to the wind? I've tried to play solid poker, and build my stack I'm never anywhere near the top 20 or 30 which are usually at some insane chip amount within minutes of the tourny start. I appreciate any insight. thanks Billy |

Re: novice question
Chances are, they didn't get that way from HU all-in actions. What probably happened is that they were involved in one or two key pots early where 4+ players went all-in. Seems like this shouldn't occur, but when you're talking 80+ table touries - all of a sudden it's easy to see how ONE of the tables is probably out of whack.

Re: novice question
Early chip leaders are mostly overagressive players who will loose their stacks soon enough, overly loose players who got lucky and a few really good players who just caught momentum.
