I know first hand about the effects of 'baby-sitting' whilst trying to play poker - my advice is if you are having to look after your daughter during this $500 tournament, you need to seriously consider how difficult it is going to be to concentrate.

I seem to recall being affected, though I was only playing small buy in tourneys so it didn't matter too much.

BTW, for you future or new Dads out there - NEVER call it baby-sitting when it's your own kid. Learned that from my wife the hard way)

Would you mind explaining what you learned the hard way off your wife? I have to say I never refer to looking after my own daughter as baby sitting.

PS - If you do take the money (as tournament dollars) I think you could use them in the KotZ tourney on Thursday - good practice for these tough events. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
