Congrats mate. I know it can be a bit stressful to take a big shot like this if you qualified into it. But just approach it as your normal $1.10 deepstack MTT. Play your regular strategy and hope for the best, no need to adjust your game all of a sudden just for one game because the stakes are higher.
Just binked my ticket to the milly as well yesterday from a $11 satty. Pretty keen to give it a go

Cheers and good luck to you! Yeah will try to do exactly that. My goal is to reach the end of day 1 and then from there, I'll be happy. Looking forward to it!

Good afternoon everyone!! I think it's great that there are already people from this site who have their tickets to the event! I'm only going to play a pokerschool freeroll for LAPTAM, there are 3 tickets and as many as $ 11 for a mega-satellite. If I do not manage to enter the event I will be as a spectator, since there is a colleague who will play, I will be encouraging them and I hope that the good results will be in favor of us !! Good luck to you all!!

So if someone wanted to earn a few dollars, why wouldn't they just wait & late reg. at the start of Day2... & presto! They will get prizes (most likely).
I'm thinking there's a bit more to it than that.

Just started playing a sat to a sat to ...? We'll see where this all leads.
Not sure what I'll do with the $1.5M though.
... Okay, that one failed with top pair & a 4-flush draw on the flop.
... Try again.

Definitely my thought as well. I'm not sure what the structure was last year - but I imagine they are keeping it open for 24 hours to induce as many people to pay in as possible. I'm expecting up to about 70,000 to be playing, possibly more due to coronavirus. I do wonder though just how many people will be left by the end of Day 1, and what this will do to the prize structure.
Blinds will be 1k/2k at start of Day 2. I'm hoping to obviously still be in the tournament at this point, and if I do I hope I will have built a sizeable stack - we will see some crazy plays from people buying in with 10xBB and jamming with loose ranges to try and get lucky and get a foothold on the tourney.

A good prize, a lot of players, a lot of regular players and professionals. I think it is very difficult to win , but there is always a chance. This is why I play satellites in order to get a ticket for less money. Because 215 is still a lot for me as a player.

I reckon they're afraid of having a 1.2 mil overlay again xD
They need a little over 58k players to break even, and after 62.5k players the prize pool will start to increase. For the players it's fingers crossed they don't hit it. Although with the current increase in online traffic that seems unlikely.
Also as a reply to the person you were quoting. Reaching day 2 doesn't mean you also made the money ofcourse. Otherwise anyone could simply late reg for a guaranteed profit
Well yeah, on one hand the field will have pretty much any reg on the site in it. But because of the sheer amount of players and fish that are taking a shot (directly or through qualifiers) this probably will be the softest field of the year in this buy-in range. Taking it down will be extremely difficult, but on average you can expect the players to be quite soft (comparing to your usual $215 tourney the fish:reg ratio will be extremely high).

Haha yes very true about the overlay. But, I expect way more than 60k this time round.
Great point on the fish:reg ratio! I'm already preparing myself for a horrible beat at the hands of a major fish who satty'd in. I'm going to be playing an extremely tight range and really focusing on playstyles, ranges of others. I won't be sad if I'm knocked out but will be if it's really early on. I love slow, methodical MTTs but always find them 'ruined' in an online setting by runners and riders hoping to score big. Let's hope I, and many other CC members, run deep!

That's what you love right? The fishier the field the easier it is. No excuses ;P
Yeah just make sure you got a good basic strat, play that vs the regs and adjust if you see any fish making weird mistakes. Hope you run good mate

I played the storm last week and got ko vs aces (story of my life atm)
I’ve been studying a fair bit the last few weeks too and come across a free 11$ dollar ticket they were giving out! I managed to get 23/3000 players! 90 players won a ticket for it! Happy days!
In my experience if you play mtt that are too expensive for yourself then you game has already changed. You find yourself not making the same moves you would if you were playing a stake you are comfortable with!
If you have a big bankroll and can afford to play loose and aggressive to steal the pots!
It Is a very different player, that hasn’t got a bankroll and And will only play premium hands!
Or the player that wins a satellite that has no interest in rebuying if they needed to, that are just happy to get a cash which means they’ll win just over $400 then we’ll go from there step by step and try to get closer and closer to that ft and bigger points!
It’ll be an interested one as I don’t think you should change your game as much maybe shorten your range a tad and try not to limp to much with low As or any other cards that you know that will get you into trouble! I think it’ll be a easier game to bluff at the right times too pre flop, to turn! Picking them moments will be the definition and winning your flips will determine your overall score!
I think you have to look into this tournament as a pleasure, a chore and most importantly a test for yourself where you are at in your poker life (if your someone that does take it seriously)
As all the pros will be playing it! If you win this tournament not only you will have 1.5mil but you will make your name out their in the poker industry!
Good luck you everyone playing it or hoping to satellite!
Have to be init to win it!
Let’s gooooo!

Well I finally qualified through one of the $11 satellites so I got my $215 ticket.
I had to play 5 of them so it cost me $55 but that's ok.
If I bust early I still think they have satellites during the 24h latereg so we'll see what will happen , I really want to play after registration close to make the cash.
Good luck everyone .

I managed to win $ 11 ticket in the freeroll, but a few moments ago I played the satellite with 250 seats guaranteed to the sunday millions and unfortunately it was eliminated. I received AA in an early position with 80 bb and decided to make a bet of 3 bb, I received a call and an all in from late position, we go all in with only that rival who has TT, with a stack higher than mine but not much more and the T falls on the river ... end of the dream. GL to those who play it !! I'll be there watching.
