1. "If I knew then, what I know now" type of tips, and logistics types of tips.
a)Register early as u can to get the events u like. MTT sats can vary widely from 40 to 800 runners.
b)U need a Harrahs player card to register WSOP-C events. Get one first thing u do if u don't already have.
c) Be aware that some strong/experienced live players, who could otherwise afford direct ME buy-ins, like to fish around in the MTT sats, e.g., guys like Gary Kainer (WPO ME FT), and Mark Smith, ME ring winner WSOP-C Tunica.
d) Ur online experience should suit u well in these MTT sat structures (short & fast).
