That is a great idea, Coach. Like you I have 0% chance of winning the whole thing, but in the 2nd tier I would be competitive. And I did feel at the Vegas tourney I, and 90% of others, forked over a lot of $ considering we had no chance of winning. (Never mind travel and hotel cost.)
I would love to play more games. Especially against new guys, and people with different styles, especially guys I have a chance against.
I wanted to say more, but my wife is booting me off the computer.
