That's a pretty steep price increase to upgrade to VIP... But is it worth it?
Freedom of Speech
Aside from the constitutional right of "freedom of speech", I don't really think that it should be cause for disqualification from the tournament. Whether you agree with his political views or not isn't the issue. You also have the right and "freedom to ignore"... Click Here...

The Perfect Storm
So this happened... I'm in the big blind with 3-5 off. The under the gun raises to $30 and everyone besides the small blind calls. I announced I wasn't even looking and called it for pot odds. I have about $700+ behind me and I don't even have the biggest stack. The flop comes 6d 2c 4s raindow. I checked in the dark, still haven't look at my cards yet. The under the gun now makes it $50 and the player after makes it $100. Players 4 and 7 call. Now it's time to look... I FLOPPED A NUT STRAIGHT! I'm debating whether or not to just call or raise. I went with just a call and UTG just calls. Turn was a Qh. I checked again and UTG makes it $200. The player after goes for a shove of about $500. 2 calls and I just smooth called as did the UTG. Then the Kc peels off. Now I have the absolute stone nuts. I made a "disgruntled" check... Then comes the SHOVE FEST! Everyone left jammed all in and I was more than happy to call. The main pot was something a little north of $2800!!! There were 2 smaller side pots, but I took the bulk of it. THE PERFECT STORM!

I found this to be very moving. The video says it all. This was 2 years ago...

Bad Beats Galore
At a low stakes table, it's almost expected. But why does it happen more often than not at the lower tables? Simple. A knowledgeable pro would never call an "all in" for half his stack to catch a "2 outer" on the river... And to only win at 1:3 pot. My only advice is to put your money in good with pot odds in your favor. If one person raises and 5 people call behind you, it's usually not a good idea to call with crap in the hopes of getting lucky.
