I"ll keep my $10,000 in my pocket thank you.
I might not win but I"ll have more left than most
Might not win but think there could be a good chance of you making the top 5 and get an option
No chance. The rest of us only have to hit one cashing player to be ahead.
Not really. You and a lot of people have 10% of 10 players. If one of them cashes for the minimum you"re only making around the $2,000 mark (the min-cash at the 2008 WSOP was $21230). At 10% stake of a player and having
one player cashing, like you said, you would need (basing my calculations on the 2008 payout list) one player to break the top 63 to beat his $10k.
2008 payout:
64th - 72nd = $96,500
55th - 63rd = $115,800
While spreading your bets accross 10 players gives you a greater chance of having a player make this top 63 in all reality you will either need multiple cashes or one MAJOR cash to beat the $10k that he"s keeping in his pocket. Like someone already said though - there"s no fun in keeping the $10k in your pocket.
Thank you please.
