So I was on facebook, and Bovada Poker has a page, and if you like/share/comment, they put u into a drawing for a daily prize for this 12 days of xmas promotion. I won a $30,000 GTD Semi Final ticket, it was a 9 man sit n go, winner takes all, with all being the $55 ticket to the 30k gtd. So I am going to be playing in said tournament 2moro, and I need some advice.

Ok so the deal is, I have played quite a few tournaments on bovada, and they are always the little $3.30 up to $10+1 tourneys. I have played in the sunday 100k 8 times via their lucky draw tournament, and cashed my 1st six time, including a $1800 score for 22nd place (Lost with AA, flopped set). I am wondering exactly how big of a diff it makes to play in a $11 tourney, vs the $55 one. Should I expect more players to be like 100k buyin ($162) or more towards the $11 players. I know that the bigger the entry fee, usually the better the competition. It is a 10k starting stacks TURBO tourney. Now I have not been doing as well in turbos, seems like the better I get at poker, the less I want to gamble and my tourney game has suffered. Anyone with ANY advice on the bigger buyins on bovada, if u have any advice I would love to hear it. Anything helps yall, and I appreciate the help

cant say on that site,
but if everyone playing won the ticket,
Id say most of them are out of their league, so you may have an edge

being a 9man winner take all,
you have to be more aggressive,
just figure out the player types at your table and exploit accordingly
besto luck to you

well not sure if is too late but love sit and goes my style is just to maintain with top three players. If do that I have a shot and think can outplay most at end so advice is stay with top two guys choose wisely when to make moves is nine people so have plenty of time imho so I wouldnt push too hard too early I would let the game come to me and I always figure it does over time myself so I have a shot is not like have to beat a 2000 people:)

also thanks for heads up missed the posts from bovada but got into todays 22 buy in shot for raffle or whatever so will keep trying!!

Big Tourney

Being as you won a ticket to this tourney , you have little vested but time . I am guessing you are an aggressive player so you need to take down blinds atleast once a circle . Do NOT go on tilt . Try to monitor betting and you will do well .. Good luck in tourney :D
