last year the play got pretty decent once things got deep, but the first 6-7 hours of the tourney the play was pretty bad yeah.

in comparison, I final tabled the WCOOP 7 card stud event last year, i pretty much suck at 7 card stud yet the field was so soft that i was one of the best players. for example, at the final table, big stacks were isolation 3-betting shortstacks with QJ8r ???

I actually scolded one of the big stacks, and Lee Jones who was doing live commentary warned me not to talk strategy during play, lol.

The more I think about this, the more I can't wait. Long blind levels, very good prize pool, horrible competition...bring it on!!

I'm pretty sure I'm playing the limit one (like 75% sure) depending on how much classwork I have on my plate.

I'm still 50/50 on the PL one.

This should be obvious, but just a warning to those playing the $530 limit, it took like 6 hours to get to the money and I think I went out after around 8-9 hours, be prepared for a long haul.

Also, pure speculation, I think this year's field is going to be smaller, for numerous reasons, anyone else care to speculate?

OMG this is seriously why I hate tournaments. Usually around hour 5 I start to wish I'd never played.

it's fun with so many donks in there. also, knowing that all that the PokerStars pros like Raymer, Brenes, and Negreanu will be playing add to the excitement.

if anyone wants to propose small last-longer bets, send me a PM.

Re: O8 World Champ. Of Online Poker (pokerstars)
 

dave, I'd be in for a last longer pool between everyone who wants in.

Re: O8 World Champ. Of Online Poker (pokerstars)
 

I'm really considering putting money back into an online account for the first time in like 3 years just to play in the PL08 event.

Then again, sitting at the computer for 8 hours to inevitably get sucked out and probably miss making the money by one spot doesn't sound too inviting either.

Re: O8 World Champ. Of Online Poker (pokerstars)
 

in for the PLO8 and LO8

the average level will be .... amazing

in for a last longer as long as the amount is not too big or to low

@dave what buy in do u plan for the LL? maybe this post should be in the mtt community poker?
