Hi i qualified for the monthly million all for free and was wondering if there are any poker pros playing in this tourney. My goal for this tournament is too make the money probably top 200 based on 1400 players. Ive been playing online for 3 years now my best result was 1st place in a freeroll with 6200 players limit holdem.

No "Pro´s" as far as I know... Some of us have played the PP Million, and I think the best result so far was +/- 300, with the payouts running to 200th.
A lot of crazies (freeroll or SAT winners) in the first half, and a lot of Sharks in the second. Probably the best thing to do is to be careful early on, and not let your stack decrease. Even 20 min. blinds catch up on you pretty quickly in this kind of Tournament.
Only played once myself last month, and after losing half my stack with JJ twice (badly played), and JJ kind of sucks too, I went card dead and blind stealing was no longer an option as the stacks behind me had gotten too big.
But definitely Good Luck! And let us know how you get on, people would appreciate it.

1/6200 in a freeroll is quite interesting. Freeroll is not the same but it's a good point to take additional experience. My advice, if any, is to play without fear. The typical strategy of "waiting for premium, stealing as possible" doesn't work in my case. Everytime I reached ITM it's been because I feel comfortable with my play, forgetting the responsability of the prize or the bubble. Good luck and we'll keep in touch with the tournament
