    Sure most already know this, but day 1C (Tue) is packed compared to the other 2 days. I'd have to do Tue based on work.

    All the fish will not want to miss the 4th with the family and will be thinking about days off work.

    Monday the 6th for me.

    let's say I m part of the heads up final:
    I will propose to split the money in 2, fork out my $5000 and get 2 SBR finalist to the main event.
    If management agrees of course.

    Will you still propose this if you happen to have a 6:1 chip advantage heads up?

    yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    it is about what we can do for the site not the other way around.
    I still give away the 20% for the stake and donate part of the winnings to the MS society.

    I'm talking about the fish that think the main event IS the WSOP. Those guys are the ones I want at my table, not the ones that have a semi clue and may have donked a couple cashes in the small events.

    Last year had 700 or so Day1A, just over 2000 1B and over 3000 1C and this year should be very similar.

    I'm excited to see who's going to win this and represent SBR.

    This should be on PPV.

    I'd choose 1C. 1a has too long of a wait until day 2. Unless you needed extra time to try to sell yourself or wanted an extended vacation id just as soon keep my routine & train of thought fresh

    Has to be Sunday; if you stick around and advance to Day 2, need those days to party with JJ and then recover

    What happens if the guy you're heads up against is a broke dikk, & doesn't have the 6-7K necessary to spend on: remaining wsop entry fee, airfare, hotel, food, etc...?

    Understandable question...but in the unlikely event you're heads up with sin, I'm sure he'll be happy to take 1st place and just pay you the $100 you're looking for

    if they love the game as much as i do, money is not an issue.
    the real question is, do you love the game or you are afraid of loosing the money?
