    I take it that means 49 big blinds? Accounting for the antes and blinds, does that imply you would go out if you folded about 45 hands without playing? (I have never played holdem with antes)

    45BB means the big blind comes once an orbit plus u have the small blind as well which takes some chips. With the new format you only pay the ante when you are the big blind.

    Awesome read though, I’m following it avidly.

    Out of interest what was the penalty for the face up incident (which I cheered, stones on both sides there). I didn’t realise it wasn’t a dead hand so looked up the rules (just interested, there’s too much verifiable in here to doubt it) and it says it’s not dead but there’s a penalty.

    Wtf would a penalty be in tournament play
