Slow Going

Every tournament day has one of these levels, it seems. With the chip average sitting around 45 big blinds, there just isn't much happening right now. The vast majority of the pots are being won before the flop, and pots that are contested to further streets are mostly heads-up and passively played. The short stacks are doubling up or going broke, but big pots are hard to come by right now.

With the chip average ticking down toward 40 big blinds, this trend shouldn't continue for too long.
