Satellited into large buy-in event

Well first live tournament in almost seven months. 85 peeps ($120 buy-in), casino guarenteed top ten gain entry into a $1050 buy-in in May. When the tourney ended at the final table I was sitting 5th in chip counts.)

Not bad considering how rusty I am.

ODS or Bullmer the structure on this event is going to be differnent than what I am normally used to.

20K in starting chips, 40 minute levels, as oppossed to 5K in starting chips and 30 minute levels. Deep stack for this casino that is for sure, but I haven't gotten my hands on the blind structure yet. Any bits of advice on how to handle a deep stack event vs. normal escalation? Talking to the regulars it will start at 50/25 (M of 266).

Thanks for any feedback.

That's really great! Nice work.

I don't have any advice at all for working a deep-stack event. My guess is that it allows you to sort of see more flops than you would normally feel comfortable with, encourages more action and looser calls. So, if that sounds good, do it. If it sounds bad, watch out for it -- others will be doing it. Sort of opens up the "hands that could beat me" possibilities. It shouldn't change your game too much.

I would be careful about preflop betting, though, especially if your standard bet is some multiple of the bb, (I almost always bet 3x bb or so when preflop raising) it's going to seem like "not that much" for someone to call loosely because it won't impact their bottom line so badly. So, practice your post-flop game a lot more.

Hey, I did have advice! "Deep stack games are more about post-flop play, because you will get a lot of weird pre-flop callers."

Best of luck, darlin.
