500k seat - play, or unregister

[billyjex]

agreed on taking the shot. i qualified for a friday special with a roll of 3k and won 8k that night.

[TheTimeIsUp]

Yup. I had a 3k roll and FTed a Party 200k for 11k. The rest is history.

I know I'm not nearly the caliber of MTT players that many on here are, but one thing about this is clearly evident to me.

If you are asking for other opinions on this matter, then I would not play. You may have the confidence in your game, but the simple fact that you alone are not sure leads me to believe that in this type of situation you may not actually play your best game due to the factors of you being unsure as to whether this is the best thing for you.

Personally, I wouldn't do it unless I was 100% sure about it, but you have to make your own decisions and you know your game and what your bankroll can handle more than anyone else here.

Im not a bankroll expert, but I think sometimes you have to take risks like this just to get it out of your head. I know its not brilliant logic, but it is clearly bugging you, probably meaning that you want to play. Since it is not a massive amount of your roll and you can recover, I would play. Worst thing that happens is you get outplayed and lose, then dont take another risk like this again.

I sympathize with Gomez and Time's thoughts at the moment.

Really, the issue is not whether or not I can play or whether or not I have the confidence.

The issue at hand is risk management. ~2.5k is more than enough for college freshman year. I mean, it's not even close. At the same time though, it's not like $215 is pissant spare change.

Well, if you can keep kicking those soft satellite tourneys for these seats (T$, whatever) - then why not just take a shot and only play when you get in cheap?

[soweak.]

exactly.

Don't play. It's too much of a crapshoot for it to be worthwhile in taking a shot. I used to do it, but it wasn't worth it when looking back. If you want to take shots, I suggest a 100+9 or 150+12 on stars. Or a Party super. The stars 100 and 150 aren't going to make you rich over night like the big sunday tournament, but you have a much more realistic chance of making the final table and taking down a nice score.

Move up to 20+2 sngs. You're losing money by playing under your roll because the 20s are not that much more difficult than the 10s.
