In Response To: NY High Roller Event (Stick)

I am going to play!

It reminds me what happened in some tournament years ago. There was a Super Jackpot (500euro to enter) and they took 8 or 10% rake (I am not totally sure). Many good players started to complain and calculate their estimated return then decide not to enter. I didn't care much about it and played. As a result, the field became a blue ocean without any shark in it. These smart people walked out while those backgammon-is-a-pure-luck players played. No, usually the punch line will be I lost anyway, but I won that time.

Just for the record, there were 20 people in this High Roller event last time.
