Default Re: Tips on handling an \"Over Budget\" Tournament

I have played the UB 215 multiple times and although it isn't as soft as the ps 215, or pp 215, it is soft. In general the play early on in the tournament is way worse than the play in the daily 100s. The main reason (nothing personal) is players like yourself who satellite in for like 10 dollars. The mere fact that you have made this post in preperation indicates to me that you are going to be better off than the typical 3 dollar qualifiers. The fact that you are taking time to prepare for this is a good thing.

Play solid poker, and do NOT play scared. That is the absolute worst thing you can do. Forget that you paid 6 dollars for the tournament. If you go into the bubble thinking "oh i can turn my 6 dollars into 250 dollars if I just fold into the money" then you are losing a lot of EV. Play it like its your standard buy in tournament.
