Anybody else going to be playing the $1000 Stud/8 event on Monday? (I won a Full Tilt "bracelet race" tournament and decided I would suck least at this event.)

One thing I'm uncertain about is how to adjust my play based on the larger ante size than what I'm used to online. My thinking so far is to raise and reraise 3rd if it will drive players out of the pot (by denying others favorable odds) but not adjust too much if the table is loose since I will need to be showing down the best hand anyway.

My other concern is --- what _haven't_ I thought of? I've played Stud/8 live, and even a live tournament or two, but nothing of this scale. What should I be prepared for?

Thanks for any thoughts you may have.
