Oh also Tim, watched your microstakes variety PT 3 vid and thought it was great and just about to start your PS Sunday Second Chance Series - I posted a couple of questions re: the AJ and AK hands on the Pt 3 vid and hoped you be able to give me some insight on the spots please?

but on the bright side you got your stack in very good in a pretty tough MTT which is not the easiest thing in the world to do

 

best of luck next time you have a crack at the big games

Pay close attention to your table early and try and figure out which is which.

 

Let us know how it goes, and good luck!

Didnt really know where to put this so thought I'd chuck it here as hoping it turns into a sweat thread lol.

 

I've decided that I am going to take a shot at the big 109 tonight (seperate from my roll, just going to deposit an extra $109 on) as the money is just spare and just going to get wasted so thought I'd have a crack at somethink liek this instead.

 

My question is? it usually gets about 900 runners, is this going to be full of bigdog, wein, twtist goleafsgoeh type players and I'll just get gobbled up or will there be a good lot of weak players/sat players etc......

Cheers guys - here's hoping I'm on here in 7/8 hours asking for an FT rail.
