The structure of the game is nominally the same as yesterday, but the size of the game is about to sneak up on everyone.
Blinds are $300-$600 with a $100 ante. That means there is $1,700 in the pot before anyone acts. The typical starting raise is $2,000. But almost everyone – even Chris Ferguson (EVEN CHRIS FERGUSON!) – is straddling for $1,200. That puts $2,900 in the pot before action. The starting raise is about $3,000. Sometimes, they are putting in a double-straddle of $1,200 and $2,400. That puts $5,300 in the pot and four of the eight players with money in there.
Oh, and there’s over $2.5 million on the table. And the way it gets into the pot is … slowly. With all those chips, it’s hard to keep someone from seeing a flop with one or even two raises. In a multi-way pot, the pot’s base is big and the chances increase of two players catching something that they want to play.
