PPM DISCLAIMER:
You are advised not to give any credence to any advice given by this poster on this subject. He knows nothing about winning a PPM seat, at all.
I don't now why my lawyer thought that was necessary before each PPM post, but he doesn't tell me how to play poker and I will not tell him how to keep me out of legal trouble.
If you don't already know Party has 1600 players for each of the next three days. They are splitting each day into two tournaments starting a half-hour apart. I wish Party could have let me buy into both each day. This is the big WPT crowd getting their first PPM experience.
My record was slightly improved for this group of PPM's. 3 wins, 4 freerolls for 2nd-3rd place and 2 outs. So for the price of $100 I have EV of $600 for this weekend. I would have rather they have run one big field each day, because this flat pay-off structure is the one that I do the best at. And the flatter the better.
An average stack at the bubble should be about $107K, if the average starting stack is $2500, which it has been in the past. If the starting stacks are about $2000 then the Sunshine Bubble Number is about $87K. This means money won above this level has less value because it is less needed to win a seat. If you get to this number early then you need to be more selective in starting hands since you only need a few winners to stay even with the remaining rounds of blinds to slip in.
It should be very fishie tournaments, so if you get stuck early don't despair you will get action if you pick-up any hands.
Good Luck
