I'm couldn't say whether or not the betting list represents all the pre-registered players. But even if it is, I'm guessing that the majority of those who will be coming to play see no need to pre-register. Most events take all the players they can get, and the players know that. I'm still guessing that there will be 100-125 1P contestants. Hell, there will probably be 50 just from east Texas alone.
But even so, I figure that if Hendy is willing to fritter away $10,000, I shouldn't be concerned about a measley $250 entry fee.
I didn't realize that Ernie's shop was on Vineland Ave. He must be in North Hollywood? Too bad you blew all your "camp fund". Sorry you won't be there, but we'll catch you on down the road.
