Borgata WPT question

Howdy. I have never played at a B&M, but do very well online in cash games and tourneys (about 40% ITM). I saw that the WPT is just 90 minutes away from me next weekend (I am in NYC).

So I'm thinking of going. Any recommendations on which tourney to join, given my zero experience at a B&M? Or should I not even bother since I've never played at a B&M?

40% ITM, you must be one hell of a tournament player.

You probably don't want to hear this, but you should come out for a day in advance and try out a smaller buy in tournament first, and then come back for the WPT event with a buy-in you feel most comfortable with. Most people don't play their best poker at their first trip to a B&m or their first live poker because there is a lot to take in. Also, they play out much differently than online.

oops, I meant SNGs. My multi-table tournaments experience is on the low side.

AC is more than 90 minutes away from NYC. At normal speeds it should take you 2.5 hours.

I have one more newbie question. At the Borgata site, I am a bit confused as to what teh Super Satellites are. So I pay $75 buy-in, what does that mean? #1 gets buy-in to something higher?

Click the arrow button under the details columns and they tell you what you are playing for. The $75 buyin you are playing for a seat to Event #2 on September 12, 2005.
