Updates on Isaac Opoku please, I'm having messages from Antonio and Linton Reid telling me he's running like Rasta, so pictures of his chip stack would be much appreciated.. GL to all Blondes playing today and tomorrow..

Yes he must be close to the chip lead, 200,000 or so

With a shy smile he tells me he is beginning to run well

Brilliant....! One time Isaac...

why does it matter how much the chip leader has? it always amazes me how live player fixate on "what the average is?" "how much has the chip leader got?" If you are still in the tournament both these questions are completely irrelevant and the only thing that should matter to you is the amount of big blinds you have.

As far as I'm concerned the online (which I played but didn't make it through) was a big success. I have never had over 120k I don't think at the end of day1 of a DTD event, has it ever bothered me that people have 400k? no. It really is irrelevant.

If live players stopped thinking with this logic it would help their games instantly.

IMO, the more people that play the online day1 the better because it will make the average higher and make day 2 alot deeper instead of it constantly being a 20bb crapshoot for 8 hours.

I haven't got an opinion yet on the online day 1 thing, but this is clearly rubbish.

Are you really saying if you've got 40 bbs and the rest of the table has 80 each, you don't feel at a disadvantage?
