Default Paradise Million Strategy?

This is my 1st televised final table and am looking for advice from others who've been there. How do the cameras, lights and sound guys etc. impact play . Any tips? What should I wear?

More importantly, I have 400k, 1st has 2.7 mil, 10th 34k, about 9 mil in total chips, 12k/24k blinds, 3k antes , 90 minute levels. What strategy do you suggest? Its basically like a satellite, 1 million for 1st and 10k for 2nd-9th. my id at Paradise is Professor77 and this will be played on the 25th of September if you want to watch. I'm not sure when it will be broadcast.

If 2nd - 10th get the same $$$ play for the win. If you play defensivly and outwait a few players you gain nothing and loose chips im comparison to those in front of you.
Maybe that wasn't the answer you were looking for, and i have no clue [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

No I agree with that, I'm no expert on 1 table tournaments but I would think this is the basic strategy

And just to add one thing, when you get knocked out-Rip your shirt off and run around while screaming ' online poker is rigged!'

that last thing is +ev for sure

Disagree. If you're playing for 1st you have to take risks and build chips. Accept 10th, gamble for 1st.

uh I think you misread my poorly worded reply because I said exactly that [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I REALLY need to stop posting about strategy because what I write is close to indecipherable [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] I tried to write something funny, but wanted to be pertinent by agreeing with someone else and I clearly fumbled in on both attempts [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

your confusion makes me feel worse than if you had posted "die, you trying to be funny idiot"

prepare yourself mentally to gamb0000000l it up b/c that is what you're going to have to do for a shot at first. obviously not stupid sh*t, but you know what i mean. the reason i say "prepare mentally" is because once you are there in the heat of the battle you want to make sure your survival instinct doesn't take over and make you too cautious.

I believe you need to think and play a level beyond this. The other players are going to be at the gamboooool level, especially early on. So, I think you need to avoid collisions without a premium hand. Instead, be relatively patient and "overplay" your big hands expecting to get action.

Suggest you discuss it through PM messages with those in the thread, or at least don't reply in the thread with what you intend to do.

You may not be the only one reading this.
