Well I still claim that if you have the bankroll to play in a game (which the WSOP ME would not qualify) that it is +$ev to take a 50/50 flip for stacks first hand of the tourney. Think about rebuys, that's exactly what an insta-rebuy does. If you play in the WSOP ME and take an instant flip, you basically are paying $20k for a double starting stack 50% of the time (other 50% it's as if you're not playing it, no -ev there since we counted 20k instead of 10k). I'm not sure about whether cashing affects it, but I think the $ev of most good players is more than doubled with a double starting stack. And even of the bad players, may as well take every flip you can since in the long run you're less than average to cash/win. [/QUOTE]
