I'm ...I don't think it will affect my play. I'm similar to Phil Hellmuth early in tournaments in that I'm in "survival" mode and play very conservatively. After all, you can't win a tourney early, but you can sure lose one. Once the herd is thinned, I'll open my game up. Of course, the next bad beat is always around the corner.Lucki Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05176927202305128485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245645136756747360.post-10333316270802058482012-05-14T10:07:56.151-05:002012-05-14T10:07:56.151-05:00Wow -- you actually have a commanding lead since t...Wow -- you actually have a commanding lead since the two scores you have eliminated so far are 8 and 10 points. Going on the assumption (which may be false) that you will have a clunker night coming up, you'll still get 10 points added to your total. Two clunker nights still gets you a total of 18 points! You have built a fantastic early lead. The question is ... will that affect your play?lightning36https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641629003610446976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245645136756747360.post-11833089280086139282012-05-14T08:52:51.846-05:002012-05-14T08:52:51.846-05:00Thanks grrouchie.

I do expect to be facing a lot of aggression later if my lead holds up though.Lucki Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05176927202305128485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245645136756747360.post-20305760949681171562012-05-14T08:50:35.174-05:002012-05-14T08:50:35.174-05:00You may be right Ken, but the numbers are a little...You may be right Ken, but the numbers are a little skewed because everyone's two lowest scores have been eliminated. As players have bad tourneys (and we all do), they won't have that crutch to lean on and we'll see some separation.Lucki Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05176927202305128485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245645136756747360.post-23218903391375711542012-05-13T19:50:18.601-05:002012-05-13T19:50:18.601-05:00Such success and the numbers are too close in comp...Such success and the numbers are too close in comparison. I understand it is "friendly" but look at how poker structures pay out and how these points are distributed. Too flat, IMO anyway.KenPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06743029070414530606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245645136756747360.post-14308607213962059022012-05-13T09:59:27.434-05:002012-05-13T09:59:27.434-05:00It's all about the early momentum.
