Thanks.. lol,,, I hope it goes better than the 50 seat frenzy I just played... My QQ ran into KK first hand and got involved in a re-raise frenzy... hmmm - was down to just 10 chips after the first hand. lol. ... Hopefully I won't do that in the big game.... Not sure if I'll fold QQ hand 1 though.. lol.. I think I'd rather get 7-2... easier fold. lol.

Yea I hate that when you get QQ on the first hand, and a couple of players go allin, because you want to call, but you also don't want to be out on the first hand, and one of them is likely to hit something stupid and take you out, I had AA on first hand and guy went allin , his 5/8 hit a straight, and I was out.

There was no chance to fold a preflop all in with AA. Chance for double up or more at the beginning of the tournament. I have had a couple of losses so far in first hand with them. Isnt good compared to the hands you lose, but better than playing for hours losing in bubble At least saves you a lot of time.

Ahhh.. out in 246th out of 1020 after 4 and a half hours.. top 216 got paid. I might try to get onto that again sometime via the 50 sear frenzy. Expensive though, unless you qualify through the tough freeroll.
------------ As a consolation I did manage to win 1st place in an Omaha Hi-Lo $10 buy today kinda makes up for it a bit and gives me some BR to play with.
