I\'m in the EPT...now what??
 

Just won yesturday a seat to the EPT Dublin from a 100€ satellite, and first of all i want to thank all of you guys. I have been lurking in the background for quite a while and always gotten helpful responses when posting my problem hands. Im sure i couldn't have done this without you...thanks for my first major poker achievement. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

But this is where the fun part stops...i've always played pretty shallow tournament structures and am very worried about the switch to the live deep-stack mode. I remember this forum having some discussion about deep stack tournaments and will be searching for them but if anyone has any links to those or any other hints, small or big, i'd be more than happy to recieve them...=)
Especially i'd like to have some expierences from those of you who have already been in an EPT tournament...the structure,the atmosphere [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img], everything.
How do i get my ticket physically? (Haven't got any contacts from the site yet)
Is there a dress code in the casinos or can poker players go in in rags? (Guess they can from what ive seen in tv-broadcasts... [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img])
And the most important of them all...

Is the booze free of charge?????=)


Thanks guys.

I too will be going to Dublin, see you there,


As for dress code, ,the casino's website i think says Smart Casual, no trainers (not sure what that means).

I dunno if theres a 'ticket' you get, but your site should have you preregisterd, that's what stars does.

No trainers means no sneakers. Smart casual is smart casual. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

So you ever been in these before?

Re: I\'m in the EPT...now what??

I'll hijack this thread and try to get some helpful tips about live deep-stack poker.

I'm gonna be in the Atlantis on Jan and I have no idea what I'm doing. Havn't played a live tourny for more than 200$ (and only played two of those while in Vegas, and both were very shallow stacks). I havn't played deep stack poker other than the 33$ on PS. I'm utterly clueless.

Anyone got any tips? I will try to get a home game going with some deep stacks, just for the practice, but anything will help.

On the bright side, if I bust out on the first hand with AKo, I'm still in the freaking Bahamas instead of Modern philosophy 101.

for starters, I'd start showering less and start exhibiting strains of Anti-Semitism - [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Um.. What?

I was thinking of two things - that parody of Rounders - EuroRounders for one

When the professor confesses that he is Jewish, the Matt Damon character simply exclaims "I hate you" -

then there's el stinko loudmouth at the WSOP main event this year who had to be asked by the floor to change clothes

I say if you're going to play in Europe, you need those two traits to fit in.
