What should be the general strategy for ME if you are first timer? 

I know that this is very braod topic but brief overview would be nice. In addition, it would be nice to know DOs and DONT.

We already know DONT # 1) dont announce that you are playing first time as mentioned by Foucault.

Not strategy related but...

 

Dress warm. It's surprising chilly even surrounded by so many people. Bring a backpack. Put a sweatshirt in there (did I mention it's cold?), some snacks (water and beer are free so you're good there), and hand sanitizer. You're touching a lot of chips touched by 1000's of other people (then rubbing your eyes cause you're tired at the 10th hour). And like someone else mentioned earlier. Take it all in! Put the cell phone away and soak it all in while you're walking down the hallway and into the main floor. Just got goosebumps!! smile

GLGL to you all playing and I hope bunch of us go deep and FT this bad boy.  KB, I'll need patches LOL

Until you sit down and play a tournament with 2 hour levels, you do not even realize just how SLOW that is. Moreso than any other tournament, you cannot win this one on the first day. If you simply double your stack on the first day you are off to a really good start.

I know they're going 5X on a lot of/all of the bracelet events. If so, you'll get to have even more fun with it!

I'm excited for you, the main event is a great experience. Piece of advice, though: don't announce to everyone at your table that this is your first time playing, it's a dream come true, you're so excited, etc. I see someone do this almost every year, and I always go after that person, because inevitably they will fold too much in large pots. As much as possible, you want to avoid having that risk-averse tendency in the first place, but at the very least, don't tell everyone how to exploit you. Have fun!

WOOO HOOOO!!!  Just got clearance form the cruise director, will be playing in the ME this year! I already made my room reservations at the Rio.  This has been a long time coming, a dream of mine since 2003, yes, I am a Moneymaker convert.  Time to brush up with TPE.

 

See you there!
