Be the Anniversary Sunday Million Final Tablist, with roughly average chips and a milly to the winner.
Chop it up, or go for the lot?
If villains were fishy or you felt you had a handle on them then no chop.
On the day I panic chop and run.
There goes an honest man.
You'd need to run fast to catch me, I'd have been first to tick that lovely little box.
Down, down, down, uppppppppppppppppp
In fact, the fella in 5th got the most. In my eyes, he's the winner, but who cares about the trophy when you've just collected big 6 figures?
It might even of been a wcoop. It was a huge tournament either way.
The difference between having ~£450k (after currency conversion) for chopping and £150k for 5th is much greater than the difference between having £450k and £750k, for me. For that reason, I think there's an opportunity cost in punting that any marginal EV gain directly from the tournament itself is unlikely to be able to overcome.
As a millennial stuck in the rent trap for the foreseeable future (Insert Brexit thread segue here...), the guaranteed money to go out and buy a house is too much to turn down.
With £450k I could buy a really good house that's going to continue gaining value, never have to deal with a landlord or letting agency taking several hundred quid a month out of my bank, stick some money aside for life stuff and still have a decent bankroll left at the end. Can I do that with £150-200k if I come 4th/5th? Probably. It's definitely going to limit what I can do in terms of investing that money for sure, especially as I'd want to keep a £15-20k bankroll behind me after, and have some money left over to go punt WSOP, invest in other stuff so that I don't have to work etc.
