Okay, I qualified for the Red Hot Poker Tour TOC on Sat, Nov 25. Winner will get the final seat of the Protege. Its gonna be a 120+ player live tourney. Most of my play has been online and don't have too much experience playing live, especially the size of the field. I would appreciate any advice from you experienced live players on what to expect or even how to play the most part. I'm normally a tight conservative player and have had my share of fortunes in an online MTT tourneys. I'm pretty nervous about this tourney.


Thanks in advance..

1st only pays the protege seat, yes?

other prizes for other places?

Play lagtastic to get 1st of 120

yes, only 1st matters. thanks actuary. i was hoping to get some advice from you from the strat forums.

yeah, wish I could help you more.
I'm not an MTT specialist by any means.

I know whoever wins will have to get very lucky.
If you can steal some pots early, and blinds later, and find the players who are trying to play tight and muck their way into contention, that will be your source of chips.

You simply won't get the volume of strong hands you need to win this on ABC poker skills alone.

find your targets and exploit them
