Ah, thanks. Kind that someone answered. I eventually found similar. Seems the same as having day 1A, 2A, 3A. There any subtle difference? Couldn't find that answer.
It's just having multiple day 1's usually that will combine into a Day 2 or a few Day 2's and then all come together.
So if there's 100 tables they might do 900 players per flight, split into 1A, 1B, 1C for a total of 2700 players, and play down to around 300 players per flight to combine into one 900 player Day 2.
That’s a great point. But how does one adjust to that? By not getting short? Ha!
So if you’re down to 15 bigs and you’re UTG, the most you could put in is 7bb, so are you better off limping? Hmm, that would be weird.
And now I’m fascinated.
I'm no expert but I assume that this will make hands with absolute strength better than drawing hands. Without the inherent ability to play for stacks through implied odds, a hand that makes TPTK often (AK/AQ) will be better than a hand with strong implied odds like small-medium PP or suited connectors.
The inverse is that you can't really charge people too much to see cards. That being said, a pot bet and a pot reraise are both substantially bigger than a "standard" c-bet or postflop raise in most circumstances. I'd say preflop and river are most obviously affected.
