    Default Vienna Spring Poker Festival - edit

    So I won an entry to this tourney through Party and need some advice from any of you who have played in a big live tourney. Starting chips = 15000, levels last 90 minutes. 6 levels per day. I believe the blind structure will be similar to any large buy-in event. I have never played in such a large tourney before. I have played a few low buy-in events at the same casino where this is being held, but mostly, I have played online MTTs. So while I am familiar with live play to a certain degree, I am not familiar with such long levels.

    So, is there anything in particular I need to watch out for or adjust in my normal game for such a tourney?

    If anyone could give me some insight and possibly a bit of coaching before this tourney, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Just play your normal game. You will be fine. We can't really help you if you don't ask specific questions. I would say this tho... If you usually play tight play tight you usually play loose play loose. Don't make some huge change in your game all of the sudden.

    sorry, not specific enough

    i have primarily played online tourneys. obviously there is a big difference in reading players live, and i don't really have the experience with this only having played live a couple of times. i have read alot about it, and understand what to look for in general. i would be interested to hear what you guys tend to look for when playing live.

    one plus is that Party is holding a freeroll for all the european qualifiers the day before the main event starts. i will get some practice and get to find out about how some of these people play.

    i apologize if these questions seem amateurish and trivial, but i just want to be prepared.
