Well I played in the Sunday million. At one time early one I was 4th in chips. Then I was 80th in chips with 270,000 when one guy goes all in for 96,000. He had been playing real loose and another guy called him as well. SO I called and with ace-queen suited and the other caller had ace-queen suited.
Well the original all-in this time had ace-king of course and triples up. Then I lose a few hands and finish in 650th or so. It paid $640 or so
Not bad.
One thing that amazes me is this.
The field started out with 10,508 Players. So in just over 5 hrs, 10,000 Players get eliminated. :monsters-
Just seems a little fishy!
Well Rude, it is actually earier to understand than you think. With SO MANY people involved, you have 1000 tables to start. Thus, LOTS of hands for guys to be knocked out with.
Likewise, when you hit the bubble, they go hand for hand and usually 10 people end up going out on that hand alone.
I would say that at least until you get to 3000 people, than around 50 people go out per hand after 1 hour or so. It GOES real quick!
When you actually hit the money, we lost 100 players in under 3 minutes
dont know about real aggresive at first. these fools go all-in with absolute nothing.There are different strategies that each player uses and it is QUITE obvious what they are using during the first 30 minutes of play.
Some people say to ONLY PLAY premium hands and raise big. I dont like that strategy too much because there are SO FEW people playing hands that when you do get a monster everyone will certainly fold.
My thought is to play REAL AGGRESSIVE early and steal the blinds and call bets. It wont win you too much, but it will make you appear to be a loose player. Later, people will end up calling you after about 1 hour into the tourney.
Only problem with the above strat is that you will change tables each 30 minutes or so usually.
But I would rather be out early than finish on the bubble after 4 hours of playing
