Not sure what all this means, but he says you should late reg the main ....
Should you max late register the
@WSOP Main Event?
I crunched last year's numbers to find out.
Now, this one's a bit trickier because late reg closes halfway through day two, but I only have data at day's end.
At the start of day two, 77% of the field remained, so starting stacks only appreciated by $200. Barely a blip.
At the start of day three, however, only 35% of the field remained, and a starting stack appreciates by over $1000.
So if all you do is show up late on day two, and hold onto your chips, you will freeroll the rake, and then some.
We also need to factor in that late reg advantage is paid for by earlier entrants. Those who showed up on day one are paying EV to the day two players.
My rough estimate is that a max late reg stack is worth approximately 8% more than entering on day one.
Not a bad deal for skipping 15 hours of play!
