Yes, I forgot to add that in. Thanks. I figured that was a given though.
Quote: DiscreteMaths2I don't like the idea of the November 9 from a gameplay perspective because people could specifically train, acquire intelligence, or even practice on a simulated table because they know their opponents already and have all that off time. While that might be an appealing game style for some I don't find that sort of thing a good thing for the WSOP main event.
I didn't, and still don't like the fact that it now becomes a "team game" with the (semi) live shows.

Not to mention at some point there could be a serious injury or even death during the time off! Plus with 3 months to train any skill gap can be narrowed and any momentum, psychological advantage one might have can be lost.
