Well I just played a 235-FPP satelite to the Sunday Storm on pokerstars, (Single-Table, 6-max, Hyper-Turbo. 2 seats).

Any way I finished first to satelite in to the "Sunday Storm" which is an $11 Buy-In and $300kGTD.

The problem is (and I know im an idiot for not checking first) but here in new zealand it starts on a monday at 5:30AM... Normally no problem but I have school that morning. So what I want to know is how long these tourneys normally last for?

I'll leave an attatchment of the details.
P.S. I know what you're thinking and I am 18, (the legal age over here)

Thanks CC!

I've never played it but there'll be a minimum of 30k runners and with a field of that size and 10 min blinds, it's gonna take u till evening NZ time to even cash.

IMO, just go hard at the start and if you double/triple/quadruple up, then consider calling in sick for school, cos the chances of you making it to the money is significantly higher than if you played tight all tourney only to bust out after your school has started. If you bust early, at least you can make it for school.

Thanks guys. What I think I'll do is get up to play and if I am still running by the time school starts ill either call in sick or play on my iphone. Probably call sick though because it could get tricky on the iphone

Can you keep that token for a future tournament? If that's the case, you might as well just leave it in your account until you're able to play it without missing school.

It takes a long time...but see how you are doing at the tournament, if it well, one day of school is not that big deal.

You could unregister and receive T$ 11 in your account, which you can use anytime you want, even for smaller BI tournaments.
Normally, if I remember well, reaching the bubble takes about 4 1/2 hrs (correct me if I'm wrong).
As said, reaching FT takes approx 10 hrs.
