With all due respect

NEIL: We all have to realize that the typical ABT weekend is not the PG Million not MC World Champs nor even the Vegas Masters with 20k at stake. A typical ABT weekend is very pressed for time and cannot accomodate 11 pt matches taking 3 hours to finish. In spite of having a few of the matches clocked, Stick and Mary had to start their 11pt winner's bracket final at 11:50 pm and this was only a 32 player bracket!
Ray: I was finished with three rounds and looked at the drawsheet. Stick was playing with Ray Glaser. After that match Stick played someone else and then we started. Being the final 4 of undefeated bracket I took my time on some critical plays/decisions with 20 or more people watching. That had something to do with the late start for Stick and Mary, but not as much as my waiting for Stick did. I think Mary and David Ruben went to DMP at the table next to us and finished a little before we did... So if we had been faster then Stick and Mary might have been able to start 10 minutes earlier. Neil was the only player who asked me to play with a clock at the tournament and that was in the first round of the masters. There is seldom any time pressure when the first game is an 8 cube though!
