Sunday Million

[erminator06]

I normally dont ever play on poker stars but a friend of mine has had a sunday million ticket on his account for awhile and he doesnt play tournaments so he's giving it to me to use and i get 50% what I make.....now I have played the 750k on full tilt a few times but I know that the sunday million is a very unique beast and was wondering if any of you who have played it before have any advice specifically for this tournament. I know that the structure is different than most of their tournaments and obviously the size of the field is ridiculous, so i was wondering what adjustments i should make to take that in to consideration

I have only played in it once so far but I have a few thoughts that may or may not help... Although you start with a huge stack the blinds move up fast and the play is a little out of control for my taste...

Last Sunday I played and ended up 1600ish out of 7100... I felt good with my overall play but I needed to have built a bigger stack early to make it deep in this event... At around 4000 players it became an all in fest and I was moved several times, so it wasn't just one or two tables that were playing this way... The blinds are long (15min) but the rate they go up is a problem.. I now prefer the 750k over this event but it was still a blast to play 7000 players...

So my advice would be to go big early trying to get the most out of your big hands.. I too often bet people out with my larger hands in this event and it hurt me late.. I should have slow played a few of them even if it put me in jeopardy... GO BIG OR GO HOME...

GL FELLOW BADBEATER.. Lets us know how you did...

I've never played this event Mike, but I still want to wish you the best.

its very important to build a stack early

play lots of hands with the fish while blinds are low

tighten up for period where blinds are 200/400 until when antes kick in then start stealing blinds

profit
