Message: [QUOTE="dmorris68, post: 2243268, member: 40397"] Again, this isn't a slowroll. In fact, depending on who it was and at what stage of the tourney, it's understandable in that situation. An amateur in the ME, who might have just put down $10,000 to play the biggest tourney of his life, might very well take his time to decide if he wants to play for his "tournament life" early on when stacks are so deep, even if he is an 80+% favorite. While mathematically it may be silly to most of us, it's entirely understandable for an amateur player to seriously consider folding there under those conditions. Awhile ago there was a survey sent out by one of the poker media sites where several pros were asked "If you were dealt AA the first hand of the ME, would you get it AIPF?" These were [U]pros[/U] mind you. I don't recall that any said no, but I do recall some saying it would not be a snap decision or one they would be happy about making. [/QUOTE]
