My advice...get up to $11k then stall till last 30players and then shove 1x with AA, KK AK and that should get you enough chips to lag in.
People donk out real fast and the blinds are large so if you have $8k left (last 31 people left) and shove ur AK and every one folds - you should have about $12k and that's enough to fold into the top 25.
just committed suicide at 17th place....and got the "Congrats $250k ticket"...
Very nice score there, put that ticket to good use and turn it into a nice cash.
woww.....nice...looks like someones in a upstring past few days.......enjoy it bro ........... ;)
Just noticed this week ends $250k has over 300 in it as well already. Gonna be a blood bath.Quote:

Very true - had a bad bender there for a couple weeks now my premiums are holding up. even last few days I have been on the leaderboard 2x and got donked out by a set on river both times - else Id be huge right now. but yeah - winning enough hands to be in top ten almost every tourney till I hit a set...Quote:

I should have just lagged and waited for HU with AK on a smaller stack or waited for sure for AA KK and HU.... They key is to get to $10k and laaaggggggg till u get AA, KK or a really small stack in blind with you shoves. then call and no big deal if they win.Quote:

I've completely ignored these tournaments for some reason. I really should play one, Maybe the'll have this next month, too. I hope.
Remember, they are freerolls, so you dont have anything invested. Try to get a big stack early and then you can just steal your way to a ticket
this ticket is for what site and tourny? carbon?
Hey, congrats, I am hoping to win a ticket today. It would be nice to play the bigger games free.
Very nice and good strategy. GL in the next tourney!
