It would appear that playing 2a would be better ... one certainly has
a lot deeper stack without skipping a level like 2b ...
I can see a lot greater percentage of the 2a players making it to day
3 compared to the 2b players ... although the total number will be
skewed to day 2b players ... but I guess that means 2b players will
have higher average chip stacks ...
So maybe 2b is better ...
I don't know what's better ... but it cetainly is different ...
