    Enjoy the experience of the satelitte.

    Don't worry about the money, anything you get is a bonus, so play it the same as you would a normal tournament.

    GL!

    Play tight aggresive in the early stages.

    Open up a bit midgame when the blinds are worth something.

    Have a good push / fold strategy and range in the latter stages.

    Get lucky.

    Profit!

    Don't sweat over the buyin amount, you are freerolling!

    There is not as much in it as the pro's try to make out. It cost you nothing you have nothing to lose. Have fun above all

    Wow. Just enjoy it mate & play your usual game. Let the poker Gods do the rest.

    If you are a low stakes fun player, you'll be an awkward shaped box, & the big Boys might struggle to "read you".

    Good luck.

    play your same game, make the same decisions. 
    don't change just because of the money. 

    you're good enough to get here, you're good enough to get there.

    Vegasman, I know exactly how you feel. I am still a newbie to poker. I've done what you did but 3 months into playing and got to DTD! Never played live before either. If you get through you get through, if you don't then it was a great experience. Play your own game, don't get over awed by the other players. Probably you will have played some of them before on tables. It's still a game of poker at the end of the day, put the amount of money out of your head. Don't get yourself het up and stressed over it, just relax and enjoy it. Some may be aggro players but you will know what to do. Have patience don't start stressing over stuff. DTD was a fantastic experience and full of fun. I lasted till after 1st break which for me was a bonus as wasn't out first. Lets get you a seat first before you start stressing out even more. Wishing you all the best.

    Well done.How many did you have to knock out to get this far. The great news is that the next step is only 5 to 1. On the day, plenty of rest and no distractions

    You were at my table, if i remember you  had a lot of outs to win but just couldn't hit. Congrats on your close call anyway, hopefully you'll get another chance before the event!

    Did you enjoy it?

    Would you play any different next time?

    You were pretty close to a seat (10 sets & some cash for 11th) from 51 entrants, so it sounds like a decent effort. "One double up" & all that.

    The experience should stand you in good stead.
