I think that Raymer, Hachem, and Eastgate (I could even say Dennis Phillips here, but he didn't win so I guess I shouldn't) would beg to differ. They have all shown that if you know what you are doing, and let other players play like lunatics against you just cause you won the thing than you can use that to your advantage.

I think this, along with the confidence boost, and experience gained from the previous year shows that the odds of winning the next year would be increased. This may have no been true previous years when the field was growing exponentially, but now with the fields staying relatively the same, I think his odds of winning next year are increased.

I think if you asked Cada if he thought his odds to win next year were better than this year he would undoubtedly say yes.

I just don't understand how winning CAN'T increase your chance of winning? Other than the fact that people might take more shots at them, what else would he have going against him?

Once again I don't think the word "greatly" belongs, because after all, how much can your odds really improve in a tournament with six to eight thousand entrants?
