My poker ATM

Imagine if ATMs worked like this:

- you could only withdraw small amounts
- you could only withdraw when enough other people were simultaneously trying to withdraw at other ATMs
- after entering in the amount you wished to withdraw, you had to wait an indeterminate amount of time before the machine would give you your cash

They wouldn't be very useful, would they? Funnily enough, I've just described what it's like trying to play any type of sit and go other than no limit hold'em on PokerStars. Is it any wonder I keep coming back to sit and go no limit hold'em? It's the only sit and go flavor which acts like a true ATM. You can go up to it at any time, withdraw any amount you like, and not have to wait for the machine to give you your cash. You gotta love it :-)
