Well, I know because most of the people who make it.
So like, you know, when you play these high rollers, these guys are accustomed to playing for $100,000.
They're accustomed to this kind of money.
So they're going to play, right?
But you're talking about guys who bought into a $10,000 tournament, maybe never had $100,000 cash in their life.
And now they're sitting there.
And it's like $1 million for fifth and $2 million for fourth.
So they don't want to be fifth.
They're just going to sit there and go, ah, I don't want to.
So they'll be under more financial pressure because they're not like your typical high roller type player.
See, I'm trying to win.
I think that gives me an advantage, frankly, where I might make decisions that are financially suboptimal.
Because I'm trying to win, but there's also an inherent advantage to that.
Like that, again, something I watched and learned from a guy like Michael Adamo, where he takes advantage of these people playing so passively in these spots where he's like, I don't, I'm not trying to come, I'm going to win.
I'm just going to bully bulldoze you.
Cause I'm not worried about, you know, the small financial mistake of, you know, a pay jump.
So one of the ways, I mean, I think way back to how I started, right?
And there's so many resources and tools available right now to analyze hands.
But when you play, right, and you find yourself in a situation or a hand that you're not really sure about, not because you had aces and went all in and you lost.
