I watched for 20 mins. and never saw a flop. Why? Each hand most players not in the blind would fold, or sometimes re-raise and the hand would always finish without a flop.
Is it because with blinds so high the players have already decided "in, or out" or is there another strategy at work that i don't know about?
thanks fckers.

Most players playing pots that high only want to play good cards, you can find exceptions though. Trying to just call in early position means there's a good chance there will be a raise after you act and you just lost your little donation. You really don't want to call unless you're willing to call a raise.
Also, since you came in, the pot is now big enough that any raise is liable to be pretty substantial.
