team event

Any thoughts on next tourney, I see its 2nd chance with an add-on,I would normally start with extra chips and use 2nd chance straight away,but Im thinking it maybe best to keep this in reserve just incase I bomb early,think most will take the chips early and Im not sure if there is any advantage in it for this comp.

I wont be starting with the extra chips, it leaves me with one "big gamble hand". if that loses I am back in and playing tight until the add on.

Im leaning towards that too herbie,it makes sense to keep it in reserve,otherwise you will be in trouble if a big hand comes along and you get bumped by the poker gods. gl

Definitely cant be starting with a double stack, you'll end up playing too tight and then get them all-in with A's and get busted .. and then no way back to take the add-on ..

However, this sort of structure it's worth keeping an eye open on the clock, if there's just 2 or 3 minutes left before the break and you have under the starting stack, I would then take the re-buy and go make a cup of tea, dont even look at the computer for that 2 or 3 minutes,(dont want to get busted now)..
Then at the break take the add-on if required giving you a decent stack for the main game proper (start then is a freezeout) ..
The other thing with only playing just the one starting stack is, it gives you a slight advantage for playing a few more wider range hands in position, without the 'scare' factor in the back of your mind..

Good luck us

you can enter the game days ahead!! I have entered all of them. if you go to your buddie list and click on me it will show you that I am entered in all of them. And keep cool, there is a 1 hour late registration, i am sure it will be fixed by then.
