Without A Net

by Matches Malone

It occurs to me that in my entire tournament career, I've only played in two tournaments without a rebuy, not counting freerolls. As opposed to three strikes and you're out in baseball, in an NLHE tourney, sometimes you only get one bad beat. The difference is striking. The wild west atmosphere of the rebuy period is gone, and
suddenly, you're confronted with an entirely different game, and playing style. All the chip stacks are the same, and most don't move all in during the first several levels, if at all.

I believe as David Grey does, that it's better to bust out early, than to spend a few hours making it close to the money, and then not to cash. Which is what I did last week. What this means is, I won't be playing for awhile, and as such, I may have to miss the WSOP again this year....
