Hello fellow Poker players. Well, I can say I'm in great spirits at the moment as I decided to change my style up this month and it worked! I qualified for WCOOP #21 with $1,050 from two satellites (ended up not raking as I came about 2400 out of 4000+ but gained good experience) and I've successfully negotiated two NLHE satellites starting at $8.80, won $110 for the next step which I won for a $800 qualifier to the Warswa EPT5 qualifier (winner receiving a package to go there).

This puts me into an ethical quandry. Do I;

a) Enter the qualifier and use all the $800 PS money?

or do I

b) Unregister and use the $800 PS money to try to qualify for something else? (Eg, the AussieM's)

What do you think I should do?

Well if I do go ahead with the qualifier I'll be playing on Sunday at 3 or 4am down here. Wish me luck!

Cheers,
rx

im interested in the style change...

its all about which event you really want to play. only you know that.

I disagree, it's about the edge you think to have over the field imo, or about if you want to risk these $800 for the potential fun of playing a big tournament.

personally I'd go ahead and just try to qualify for another tournament, starting again at the bottom and using the $800 as a separate BR to qualify for some big tournament.

Yeah well I have the great people of pokernews to thank for my change up.
Basically, I went from a Live strategy to an on-line strategy. I decided to conduct experiments with my play over 4 $12 SNG's (like davega!) and found the optimum style of play for me. I only wish I had done it earlier....oh well like Allanis morissette said, 'you live, you learn'.

Anyway, I'm starting to edge towards Rock's idea as $800 PS money is alot to squander on one tournie and it is in warsaw without flights paid so a bit expensive from oz. Also, I can test my new play with those $$$ so we'll see. Thanks guys

I can relate with your indecision. A few weeks ago I entered a $50 buy in...won the first prize of a $1K ticket, and decided to cash it in to use in for other trny buyins instead. Of course when time came for the $1K buyin trny to start, I said screw it, and re registered...sigh...3 hours later, busted out with K high flush to A high flush, and no cash to show for it. Was a hand I would have forlded, but I checked on the big blind and flopped the flush. Over all, even though I didn't cash in the trny, if I had it to do over again I'd still enter the big trny. After all, my pockets aren't flush, so how often would the oportunity come for a shot at the big bucks!!

Just to let you guys know I unregistered and took the W$ 800 and spent 100 of it trying to qualify for LAPT San Jose and won it. Another $530 - woohoo!
Just goes to show that change up has meant good things...we'll see how the form goes a month from now. Hey does anyone know if PS will have qualifiers for the Aussie Millions? I think I might put the w$ too good use.
PS - Great Point sheepdog ... I will do it and play a big tourney one day!
BL on the K high KITN.
