DodgyPutter: Why play in Chelsea? It's the easiest of the one hole rooms to get a quick game in, I often play my sponsored games there. I'm trying to catch up on apparel with mobile players and getting there I think. If WGT gave us 7 games, however long it took you, each sponsored session I'd probably play these in Rio. I wouldn't think there's much difference in my win % in the two, stronger players in Rio being balanced by all being off the same tees.
You get less points for playing chelsea than you would in Rio or Tokyo.
Gold and platinum box drops are very rare. I don't even remember if i ever got either in chelsea. (but it's been years so i could have)
Rio Drop rate on Gold and platinums is much less common than in Tokyo.
The higher the room the more points per box. The better the drop rate on gold and platinum boxes.
plus you're picking on lowbies when you don't need to do so.
Now if you can't compete in Tokyo then obviously don't play it.
all the above reasons are some examples of why i say coin rooms sort out skill. the more skilled people play the higher rooms because the payoff is better.
even if some high level is starting out in coin rooms; if they can't get to Rio in a week. (two max) then they aren't very good.
If a high level is playing a lower room it's for only a few reasons. 1) It's a showdown and they have to. 2) they suck at the game 3) They have a self esteem bully problem so they pick on the lowbies 4) They are just starting out in coin rooms.
if i a high level with some skill knew what they were doing they could probably have at least 4-5 million coins in a week. (Monaco)
