I used to play these, but by step 2 rather odd stuff starts to happen. For example, one guy gets down to about 450 in chips. after limping in UTG, it's folded around to a guy who pops it to 375. short stack calls, yes calls, leaving ony a few chips behind. Then, post flop, the guy who raised it just folds! Not disconnected, no, just folds it. Now the short stack has doubled. I wouldn't want to acuse anyone of chip dumping....aw, heck, we all know it is. Wouldn't think you would get people colluding for a shot at one dollar, but there it is. I could go on with other examples of EXTREMLY questionable plays, but you get the point. Stuff you rarely otherwise see seems to happen much more often in these. After I caught a guy bringing in chips into a live MTT once, the staff only banned the guy for a week, kind of tells you how serious a place takes stuff that isn't costing THEM any money.
