Won a $16 qualifier to a $530 Aussie Millions Sat. For every $12,592.00 in prize pool one package including buy-in, 5 nights accomodation and $1k in cash at the Crowns Casino. This has a fairly steep payout structure, 5% of the total contestant pool will get a package.
To get there I must admit I had to run very well. Although I didn't ever suck out, I obtained a comfortable lead from where I was able to be very selective folding KK and AA several times near the bubble. At the moment I don't really need the $530 in my account although it would be nice. I would love to take a shot and get the experience of a lifetime, but it could just be a big waste of money if I lose. In addition should I win, I do not have live experience outside playing with friends, due to me being under 21.
Has anyone played qualifiers of this type in the past? The only people registered for the tournament on Jan 2nd are the people who won seats with me, I have just about all of them tagged as solid players. Is the play in qualifiers generally so good I shouldnt bother?
TL;DR am I wasting my time? If I win I would love to go but all of my poker experience is online, this is a live event. Sat is filled with solid players, payout structure is extremely top heavy. I won't be playing scared money I can afford to lose
