You didn't say how soon you need to achieve this goal. That's a VERY important info!
And I'm a little bit curious - WHY do you need to achieve that?

So WHEN is mandatory answer, if you want a good advice. WHY is just for my curiosity :D...

Use the same tactic that you use in every freeroll.

I do not understand your question very well, But I like to play the big bang,
And for this you need to get three top 400 consecutive, The time does not matter as long as it is within the month prior to the tournament ;)

This will make it very difficult. It is almost unreal.

It's easier to write a blog about an interesting poker subject , it could be from your life , your experiences , the worldwide news , choose and analyse it ,add a picture , maybe a video . Not too many write every month , I haven't counted them but I would be surprised if they were more than 40-50 . 8 or 12 Big Bang Stamps they give every month to the best blog , it's a very good deal , very good chances to get one , so why don't you give that a try ??? :)

The most difficult part is how to play the 5K Big Bang when you get there , with so many LAGs :D , TAGs at the beggining have a real problem imo , at least I have :)

If you cannot/don't want to write the blog , then listen what you have to do :

first game play every tournament untill you get under 400 (preference rank (what you should prefer more ) : 1st the 3k players at 08:00am EET , 2nd the 4k at 04:00 amEET ,3rd,4th at 16:00 and 20:00 EET whichever you want , they're the same 10k players ) .

In game at 08:00 am EET register 2 min before late reg ends (when the new blind level starts) , in game at 04:00 am EET register 2 min before late reg ends (when the new blind level starts) , in games at 16:00 EET register before late reg ends , in game at 20:OO EET when the reg begins . We do this at the three games to avoid the first 1.5K-2K players that leave through these minutes , bingo players , want only the 10$ , to avoid losing blinds , yes even 50$, but above all tough decisions, to call or not to call .

When you make your first ''under 400 win'' , play ONLY the 08:00 am EET (6 am england etc) to get the 2 other under 400 wins . If you cannot , play the 04:00 EET , but the 08:00 is much much much better (very good field ) .

During the game , early of the tournament , play carefully QQ , never all in with QQ , play position ,AA KK aggressively to build stack , but if you have one under 400 win try reraise big and see flop with KK but if you need chips go all in preflop . Play tight aggressive and see more only in position cheap and with bigger stack . bluff less . Wait , don't get scared if you feel csard dead , the good card will came , and when the chance comes take it (AKso ,AQso , AJcall only MP , fold EP if 10-12 BB, if low stack less than 4BB shove it ofcourse --ok , low stack game tactics play your style :) but don't get dissapointed very soon , I have seen myself revived from situations with only 2 or 3 BB,don't get crasy when low stacked , very important !!!!!!!!!!!!--- , PP call for sets , you don't have many chips for fancy play game/raises )

Play with time (tank sth they call it ??? )and like chicken when you are under 1000 and close to 400 , fold EVEN AA , if you are close to your target . I have done it :eek: . Good luck if you follow my advice , it had success last month for me .

But like I said , the difficult part is what to do when you get the ticket , at the 5K Big Bang (tip : play with your good hands very aggressively the LAGs preflop , but if you hit sth good let them bet and pay you , play with their style ... And for GOD's shake , don't ever , ever , eeevverr try to bluf them :eek: ) But if you play decent poker , you know how to confront LAG playstyle , you are TAG but kinda know to call/see more hands at the begenning (30 min low blinds , my GOd:eek:) be ready to bluff some nits (lke me:rolleyes:) you are ready to win big . Good luck !!!!!!

To be honest forget it. You might get it with luck but imho it's not a goal to achieve. I'm playing OSL regularly since August. There is a reason, why it is called donk league. You have to play super tight if you play for the month, because there is almost everytime someone, who shoves with 72o or something like that and has often enough the luck on his side. But the OSL is quite usefull nevertheless. It teaches you patience and if you are willing to wait, you can build up your BR out of nothing. 1$ per month (5$ if you had 20 VPP in the month before) should not be too hard to get.

I believe if you don't play first 8 min , play then the next 50 min TAG , watching carefully the image of your opponents on the table , if you double your stack start ''seeing''one or two more hands with the blinds you take(in position paint cards or just paint cards ) , the more stack you get and under the 1000 play more aggressively towards normal opponents , you can achieve a good score .

You can go under 400 , wait for good spots , double, triple your stack with AK,AQ,QQ+ etc , play carefully again on the bubble and before FT . Again aggressively post bubble , and on the FT (1st,2nd,3rd pay) .

Yuo really need time , patience , endurance/stamina to be able to play at least 3 games per day (some play 4 games a day , when do they sleep ?? but I have seen that if you have good results , you can play 3 , or even not start from the 3rd of month if you're so good ) . When I played them I didn't do it the way I should (I was tilting, bored ,didn't know as much as I know now , etc ) . Now I don't have the time to play again, I only play for the 5K Big Bang :)Good luck :)

As I have not tried for two years to open league play pokerstars but 3 times did not get into the top 400 this is hard to do. The PokerStars tickets for bigben can be obtained for active participation in the forum
