Take it really easy early.  It's hard to express how deep this tourney plays in the beginning and you should not be playing 300bbs like a 100bb stack.  Being nervous is natural.  You will get comfortable as the day goes on.  I've played twice 09 and 10, and I was very nervous to start in 09 but all it took was playing some poker to calm down.

 

Regarding your table.  Even if you have a tough player or two that you recognize, just don't tangle with him.  90% of hte players in this tourney are soft and you can avoid the tough spots early on.

 

I'm not there this year, my mother in law is sick so i had to cancel my plans.  But I wish you and all TPEers the best of luck!

Thanks RFB, just watching Part 2 of BigDog's Sunday Warmup Deep Run.....

 

Regards to your mother in law.... hope she gets well soon!!!!

Thanks Hawkeye!!!

 

Nah, didn't try to qualify by winning a seat, just living the dream!!!

 

Butterflies are starting to kick in abit..... gonna be in BigDog early stages mode to start off with. Hoping for a nice table draw.

 

Already had breakfast (Buffet @ Aria), I was gonna do Buffet @ Wicked Spoon (Cosmo), but I think they open up @ 8:00 and didn't want to hang around and wait.
