I think most people took the contest very seriously and played similarly to a " real money " situation...if they had the real money to play with.
I agree, this is how i approached the contest, and its how I think most people did. I pretended that it was my bankroll and that I really badly wanted to win it. I put in a fair amount of time as well.

I have never played this way with my own money as i am just not at that level, but it was fun to go through the motions. Frankly speaking since my normal bankroll is not large enough I do not play pick sixes. Its pointless to throw $200 to $400 dollars at it.
