Alright, I get what you're saying there. Thanks for the clarification. That doesn't make sense to me. So you're saying, if I start the first $100 million buy-in tournament but have a release that prevents some players from playing, they can sue me for it? I'm obviously not saying the WPT will ever choose to edit people out of the final table. I'm just saying that it's possible, so that TV/non-TV shouldn't be a factor in regards to the profitability of a tournament. The players have no control over their TV exposure. For example, instead of cutting a player out of the final table, the WP

Sorry, I know little, if any, about law. How are the WPT exclusive deals with casinos different from, say, soft drink companies having exclusive deals with fast food chains, restaurants, and schools? 1) It shouldn't matter if there aren't any 10k events at shitty casinos because any casino/company can easily start one there. The WPT is not preventing those other 95% of the casinos from starting their own large buy-in / TV events. Nor is the WPT purposefully preventing the high-stakes players from playing in their events (why would they even want to?). They simply have incompatible terms.2)

Then, don't the players need to prove that the WPT exclusivity deals do have a negative impact on competition?From what I can tell from here, there are approximately 1,650 casinos in the US. The WPT probably has deals with less than 5% of that number. I don't see how barring under 5% of the casinos in America is preventing other TV-poker-tournament companies from starting up. True, the remaining 95% might not be "high-profile", but do viewers and players actually care in what casino a tournament is held?Also, how can only preventing the players from playing in televised events hurt them fin

fold preflop.

i was just randomly browsing the "daniel on strategy" board, and found this:http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...pic.php?t=35582almost exactly the same situation... DN says to check, and for good reason.

as always, the answer is this.

tighties don't limp with weak K's and Q's.

don't be scared to play poker. raise preflop.

i would've either raised the flop or turn, if you decided to call down anyway.
