GUKPT Luton
I won a seat to the GUKPT Main event Luton worth ?1000 in March this year and its not long now til I get to play. I'm a little worried about how high the standard will be as I have never played in such high stakes. Any1 got any advice on how to prepare? I play a lot of online tournies and cash, but thinkin I will need to up my game!

Nice win JB36! How did you win it?

Personally I have only spent $215 on a tournament (the sunday mill). I managed to cash it so maybe I can give a bit of advice but online is totally different from live.

I basically put all my focus onto the game without any distractions. I played every hand as well as I could and although being the large buyin, I wasn't scared to go broke on a good hand.

I guarantee you'll be more annoyed with yourself if you bust out because you made a scared play or should've shoved a hand earlier to double up than if you got your chips in when you were ahead.

Don't play scared is my best advice. Hell, it only cost a bit to satellite right? You're not really risking it.

Well done for making the GUKPT JB36. I tried satelliting this year but no luck. I have a real desire to head to the EPT or WSOPE. One day maybe

JB I thought I'd dig this thread up again. When exactly are you playing? Have you sorted all the details out yet?
