This ^^. Play tight, ABC poker until you make it to the mid stages and feel comfortable to open up your game more. And be patient. This is a pretty large tourney for us micro grinders and it's easy to get anxious and lose focus if you are not doing as well as you think you should. Play your a-game (goes without saying) and approach it as you would any low buy-in MTT.

Oh, and congrats on winning the enrty!

Have an idea of who the MTT regs. are & who the random donks are. There'll be a large variety of players in these MiniFtops Events (they're not all going to be micro donks by a longshot. If you check out some of the players who've won the MiniFtops Events you'll see that some of them are amongst the top players online (one of them is in the Nov.9 final table of wsop MainEvent this year!).

Yes ^ (sort of) but 'whatever' you do....Don't fold AA preflop in the early levels.... ever!!!!! (even when you're 250bb's deep at the start of it).

Oh yah, and wtg on winning that 150ftp satellite. Very cool!!!

Be tight-aggressive, especially when the bigger blinds and antes are in the house ! Don´t call preflop if there are higher blinds, i see this mistake too often, push or fold ! And if you pick up a strong hand like AJs or TT, then punish the limpers ! Don´t get too short, but wait for good spots with common sense...good luck !

I'll be playing in this MTT.
I'm gonna guess that there's going to be more donkeys then top regs playin this game, so there's no reason to waste chips against the good players. Look + attack the weaker players who play too many hands. You need alot of patience for MTT's. Leaking chips on stupid plays wont get you deep.

Welldone winning the sat.

I'll be playing this event too, as well as event #5, possibly more if I win more satellites. Hope I get a red pro at my table. :)
