Congratulations! And don't forget to stock up on as many of those satellite entry tickets as you can then pick those SNG main event entry games where you have notes and records on players you have bested in the past.

This is what I do:
I have PT4 so all of my table play is recorded. I make paper notes on what pros are playing and what they are doing (learning from the best). I make notes on specific players if there is something worthwhile. I make notes on satellite competitors so that when I meet them in the big game I know where they came from. After the game I review sharkscope and other leaderboards to see the skill level of the players in that game. Review the PS game replays also as mentioned earlier.

I try to last beyond the late registration in all games I play as a first step then past the bubble as my next. Both scenarios require some big plays to survive and may require folding AA, KK and other top starting hands and other times bluffing with garbage. I make sure I can justify my choices even if I made the wrong decision.

For timelines, a minimum of 20 seconds to a maximum of 12-18 hours is a generic baseline. At the 400 player mark I was at about 5 hours and a bit.

I've won a few satellite entry tickets and will be doing my best to get a main event entry also.

Try to find a good pre-flop chart and stick with it, take your breaks every hour to just not look at the screen / get water / use the restroom. And use your gut, if you feel you have the best hand, do what you think you need to do without regrets.

Good luck! My advice, stay sharp, I find when the cards aren't there I force it. Don't do that and you will probably go deep. Again, good luck we know you have the skill (you got the golden ticket).

Good luck. Watching. And remember of course that:

Big cash coming!

Hey all, with deception i'm done at 350ish, paid 567$. I had a great experience, hoped for more because I once was fifth but hey, that's the game. I still have a lot of improvement to do, so to the people who watched my game, please comment some tips. Love you all, to the next sunday million!

Congratulations and nicely done! I was looking to see where you were intermittently and was rooting for you to make it into the top 100..Liv Boree was in the game as were a couple of other pros that didn't top out.
You will find everything you need to become a better player player in this forum as I have. If you have questions, Hugh is a great resource.
Looking forward to meeting you at the tables.:D
