Default WCOOP Main Event Blinds Question--Please help

I just fooled around, played a rebuy satty and it looks like I'll win a seat to the main event.

The problem is I have my first league basketball game tonight.

So, if I am gone from 5:15pm to 7:30pm, how much of my stack can I expect to lose? Thanks in advance for any help.

Trust me, I'm inclined to agree with you.....but I also really want to play this tourney.

So, is there anyone smarter than me that could tell me the answer?

Or just how many hands per hour we will play? (I know I should probably know that)

If you really want to play it, have a friend take over while you're gone.

Yeah, I guess if I got up to 45k+ by 5pm, I'd want to keep playing anyhow.

Unregistered. Thanks for the help.

At 70 hands an hour, you'll lose about 8000 chips.

Options:
1. Screw the basketball league, we're talking about a 1 mill first prize here and based off friday your boomswitch is clearly on, don't waste it.
2. Get someone to play for you while you're gone

7. Since you're sat'ing in, I'm guessing you only are in for 5 or 6 hundred, you could take your chances and miss those levels, worst case is you only lose those few hundred dollars, and considering the 80k+ from friday, prolly not that big a deal. You may return and get slapped by the deck and win again.


100. Unregister and play basketball
