In Response To: John is right--the numbers don't lie (Phil Simborg)

(Phil) "Stick, you haven't been to a lot of tournaments in the past few years. Talk to the tournament directors and you will find that the number of people who do not get in the side pools is increasing. Many opt not to. And it's not just because they don't have $100 or $200 in their pocket, it's because they feel it is a bad bet."

(NTK) Another reason contributing to it being a bad bet or less of a good one is that many directors now rake 5% from SP.
