I was personally relieved not to see the 30 min breaks after every three levels that we got in the Grand Prix last week.
Drags it out unnecessarily IMO.
I don"t see eating at the table as rude. Normal activity in a poker room as far as I"m concerned.
Was a bit suprised we were due to play 15 levels as opposed to 10 or 12, but at least that makes for a shorter final day tomorrow. Just glad I played Day 1a to give me chance to regulate the body clock before going back for Day 2
