And that's exactly how it should be.

I don't like the idea of having a "pros only" championship. The allure of these big money events is the idea that any Joe Blow can show up and take the title.

of course, that is part of the allure for the pros as well. there are only so many high limit games going where they can make their living, and while the tourney trail is tough, it is definitely +EV for the pros. they welcome the idea that anyone can enter, because for the most part, not everyone can actually play.

i think that it was johnny moss that said "I can walk into any card room in the world, and if I dont know your face, I can beat you." it isnt exactly that way any more, but you get my point.

^Yea, I'd like to a few years down the road, (like the minor events) but it's going to be tough being on the east coast and all. I've never even been to the other side of America. Farthest I've been is Nebraska. Yep. Nebraska.

When I figure out how to beat the 3/6 games playing more than 1 table at a time I will be closer, but for now I think me and my 10g's are much safer here at home.
