If you know your a bad player, then its actually better to be agressive. You give yourself two chances to win pots, either win by bluffing, or by getting there. If your bad passive then you have to just catch cards.

good decision Des
The more players that continue to play the better for the league. i think this decision answers the concerns of some people but still gives a deep structure. a win win situation.
Maybe you could organise an over 50s league with an early start and shorter structure for those of us that need an early bed time.

Shug,

"The more players that continue to play the better for the league". (cant do quote boxes sorry)
I agree with this of course. But i dont think too many people would of dropped out if structure stays the same. Its more likely that people will drop out if they dont collect individual points during the 1st few legs, or if their team are doing poor.
Honeybadg:
What is the thinking behind moving from 5000 chips to 4000 chips.
If you assume 500 runners.
Old version : 2,500,000 chips in play
New version : 2,000,000 chips in play
9 player Final Table
Averages chips - 278k vs 222k - say average player will have 20BB at final table point.
So estimated level to reach final table - BB @ c14k or c11k i.e. mid level 24 vs mid level 23 - so having 4000 chips to start might save you 12 minutes to get to the Final Table.
It might take a few more minutes to play out the final table - but again the blinds grow so quickly - only a level to deal with the 25% more chips in play ...
12 minutes great - but can we have our starting stacks back to 5,000 (next week)?
The rationale for having the extra chips at the start is that it delays the part of the tournament where people need to shove in order to double up or die - the more time you have to build your stack to avoid this the better the poker is.
