I have played in several of these, many people play tight when it gets close to the bubble. If you were a few away from being ITM I might now of went allin preflop, I would of played more conservitive, the QQ would call you 100% of the time preflop, if you just would of three bet they would of called and if the flop missed them they might of folded to a pot size bet.
But I would of waited untill after the money to go all in preflop. The last one I played in I had AA early, hit a set on the flop and went all in, they chased a 2 card flush draw and hit it.
But overall I think if you want to win you need to get your chips in the pot with great hands and you had a great hand. Right after ITm many people become super loose for about the first 10 to 15 mins so there is a good chance to pick up chips if you have a decent hand. Also look to push for chips at each new cashing level, this is how you will build the chips you need to TID.
I played in the record breaker on FT and finished 95th for $400 at the time I went all in with pocket KK I was the short stack at the table and everyone had at least twice the number of chips that I had. 4 of the top 5 were at my table, it came back to the BB and everyone else had folded he had twice the number of chips as me and called with A4 offsuit. he hit a set of 4s on the river. I guess he was feeling lucky and it paid off for him. With the blinds and ante there was about 150k in chips in the pot, I shoved 900k in chips into the pot. I think he should of nevered called my raise.

Check this out my dad (71 years young) has cashed in the BLT the last three times it has run. This past Sunday he cashed for $240 but for some reason OPR hasn't posted it. To make his ITM even sweeter he accomplished it through one of the .55 satelites. GOOOOOOO POPS!
BTW his ITM after 92 tourneys is 25% and these are all donkfest low ABI tourneys! Craaaaazy. His ABI is $1.90 AFS 3971

I'm in today. Finally a weekend that I'm able to be at the computer for the tournaments. I just hope the hockey game and the Purdue BB game doesn't distract me in 3 hours(I expect to still be in then.)
<1 minute til start. Good luck guys.

How's everyone doing so far? It's at first break right now and I'm in ~2350th place with about 12,400 left and I have 8,260 chips. Was doing great the first couple levels and knocked some people out, but have since slowed down a bit. I have one super agro player to my right that I plan on taking out as soon as I get the right hand. Other than that, my table is fairly tight and passive.

Spoke too soon. Next hand after going over 10k I called a guy pushing his 2k stack in while I had AQs preflop. His 44 held up, back to ~8k. Only about 1000 til the money.
Side note: I hate it when you get transferred to a new table right when your new spot is about to be in the blinds...Has happened to me two times now.

Out 4608th for $8. Lost a hand with Aces that brought my stack down to 4k then tried to make a move to steal blinds with 85s into really tight players, but one had ATs and ended up winning the hand with A high. Good luck on the rest Cotter.
