Playing the UB Aruba 300/20 tonight - any last minute tips?

[drmcboy]

Won the seat with a 5 dollar re buy, 80 in, top two got seats. Was low stack with 16 to go, managed to rally.

Mostly playing 30 SNGs until a couple weeks ago, then with a nice run recently got my BR up to about 1800, starting playing 50s as well.

Does anyone know if most people in these things qualify or buy in direct?
Around 40 people in right now, I figure they are all satellites, so if I see a lot more in I'll assume they mostly bought in direct.

Send some AAs my way around 9:30!

dont have any tips, as Iv never played in such a tourney before, But good luck, and I will amke sure to watch and talk smack for you if needed.

Thanks Ripp - also I'd like to thank you for the SNG guide, reading that along with a SS re-read really jump started my game back in January.

Good...

Bad! Shoulda moved in on the turn, a little scared of the set. 8 comes off andi'm thinking it is a good card, I figured if it was a draw he would have had 89.

Can't say I didn't get any big pairs.

with the queens I wouldve raised it to 120 or even 140. Anyone is willing to call an extra 60 chips.
