Weeeeeeeee! We definitely need to have a little FTR party in Vegas.

As far as advice goes, the main thing I think is to get as much live (in a casino preferably) play in as you can between now and then, since you want to make sure you feel comfortable enough to play your game, along with not shaking when you have big hands, etc.

Other than that, some good advice is to read up on very deep stack poker, which is something I'm working on as well. Its a very different game from online MTTs, where you start with 1000-2500 (average on PS is 1500, which is a starting stack of 75 BB) chips and the blinds go up every 10-20 minutes. For the main event we'll be starting with 10k in chips (200xBB), and the blinds will go up every 2 hours. Hands are dealt slower in live games, but its around half the hands in the same amount of time, so it'll still be like an online MTT with 1 hour blinds, which is very different than we're use to. Patience, on the first day especially, will be a big factor I think, and will probably be the biggest problem I face as well.
