------------ I'm in one now. 1st break I have 3.5k I did have 4.8 but made a silly play and had to call the ss's all in It's going ok tho. Wish me luck
------------ Urgh ffs! Got my money in with KK vs 1010 vs QQ and there was a Q on the river, naturally Guess I'll have to try again another day

Hey bull, just now sow your post. Well, play very tight on begining. Lot of fish on Big tourneys so you should always bet for value when you have it and avoid big bluffs. Dont be afraid to gamble at later stages. And yeah one more thing: run like god! Crack aces with tens couple of times GL

Posted by Bigritefoot: Cheers Bullet,
am pretty happy now with $40+ as a good ROI but def got one eye on the FT
Just go for final! In theese tourneys it is extreme hard to go in deep and when you do you should always go for final table. Dont think about anything else but how to give your self best chance for it...
