Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 784802, member: 23910"] This is probably true for the pros, but I don't know if it holds true as much for the amateurs. A pro isn't going to make any huge changes to their game in the space of three months. But an amateur could spend those three months devouring every poker book they can get their hands on, and it'd potentially make a huge difference to their play. Good for the amateur, not so good for the pro. I think the bottom line is that this would be: - Good for the amateur players who make the final table - Good for the casual poker-viewing audience - Good for ESPN - Bad for the professional players - Bad for the serious fans (I follow all the major tournaments on the net, for example - having to wait three months to find out who wins is likely to hack me off) But like I said, it's all academic because the actual gap between playing down to nine and the final table starting is only one day.
