i reciently went to my first small tourney, a 3 table MMT, it was a sattilite tourney, top 4 got seats to the Canadian Poker Tour on March 25th when it comes to town. 5th got 144 bucks in cash... i got 5th.. and also got addicted to tournement poker in the process.

the next week i went back, got 4th and a buyin to the CPT, its a 300 buck buyin with $100 add-on's (dont know if there are rebuys or not), they give you 8000 in chips, and at the 100 minute mark there is an hour break and the add-ons, which i am planning on commiting to 4 giving me an extra 20,000 in chips.

now, after i got the buyin i googled poker strategy's, and luckly enough came to FTR, greatest poker site ever... ever....

there are about 107 people in this tournement. i belive the prize pool is $20,000;

1st: 11,000
2nd: 5,000
3rd: 2,000
4th/5th: 1,000

i am still reading over all the posts i can, trying to gain as much knowlage as possible, but if you guys can give me some advice in this thread so i can use it as a referance, that would be kickass.
