    Is added to the schedule. It's called the "Kickoff," has a 50k guarantee and starts at 8 a.m. Eastern. Seems pretty early for the east coast and obviously absurdly early for west-coasters but who can complain about another major?

    If I lived in Aus, I feel I would totally dig that schedule. Play all day, nap in the evenings, party all night, rinse/repeat.

    I think it's all just what you are used to. I am really used to playing no earlier than 11 usually starting between then and 1pm. I cannot fathom starting a grind session at 6 in the fucking morning.

    How about a rotation of different majors each month.

    - $109 - $250k PLO
    - $44 - $1m NLHE
    - $1050 - $5m NLHE
    - $33 - $100k 8-Game

    Yes, technically it starts at 00:00 which is on Monday, but I felt I was being clearer by saying Sunday night. Anyway you understood what I meant.

    They had a $40, 1M before and it blew its gaurentee out of the water. I bet they would all reach it honestly.

    There is a difference between a single one off tourny that is advertised heavily and has satties from 50c to get in with a $1m prize pool and a regularly scheduled tourny with $1m guaranteed.

    I doubt enough of the player in the $1m $40 would want to play a 25k+ entrant MTT every week/month or have the time.

    If its a once off they'll take time off work or make arrangements for a once off, but every month?? I'd rather hit the golf course than wade through 25k people every month.

    Also think of the LAG

    Ya there's probly no way 25K players out of the 350K players (7%) that play on sundays would wanna play a $40 tournament with a huge gaurentee. Your right.
