Whether the $1500 is affordable is completely dependent on the individual and his or her circumstances.

As for the level of play, the jump isn't nearly as high as you seem to think. The best players will be top pros, so far better than you'd encounter in small buyin online tournaments. But in terms of skill distribution, think of a pyramid.  The lower echelons of the field will be made up of hopefuls who are also well below that level.

As for the marathon comparison, I had no trouble at all playing a full day minus a few minutes and maintaining my focus the entire time. Plus I wasn't any more tired than I am at the end of a long work day; And it's not like there are no breaks. In fact, I had plenty of energy left to go out for drinks afterward.  And I'm a long way from being in good shape.

Did you happen to notice that a senior won an event a few days ago? And every year, you see some going deep. That's because the physical element of poker tournaments is far less demanding than it's sometimes made out to be.
