How do you have the patience to play the 5,000+ player tournaments?

what should you do if theres a very big stacks jerk at your table and all in everyhand .... you wait, wait, wait til you have the AA and call all-in then boom the jerk got 2, 7 off and here come the flop 2 7 2 =)).

I love playing big tournaments! I feel that it is exciting to try to win the entire thing. I have won freeroll tourneys with 9000 players in the them and have only wished that it was for more money.. I feel the the strategy is to not to rush yourself and wait for good hands but to sometimes play hands that you may not normally play with in case you catch something, thats if the blinds arent too big yet and also if you have a decent size stack.

It's better to wait for hands and you can never tilt. You have to keep a read on your opponents at all time though.

You fold like 50 hands 'till u have AA, KK then got a bad beat with 2,7 off then u will know what is tilt
Tilt happens for everyone even with the Pros, try this search "Phil Hellmut blows up", and u can find some very good examples there =))
oh yeah Tilt is just another four letters word

I love playing huge tornys, I have placed in first in some of the cash freerolls on full tilt as well. I like to play with playchips or at low stake ring games, having a second minor game helps me out a lot in long tournaments.

The best recipe for do it well are these thinks:
Play just the strong hands, make some pause and take it easy.
The BI isnt so big or it is free, so you cant loose. Play your best and if you feel tiredness yourself make a pause for 10-20 mins.
GL!
