Well one year after my first “real” live tourney at the WSOPC in Vancouver, i'm back at it again at this years event. I had a hard time adjusting to live play last year and bounced at level 6 after putting myself in a bad position with 15 bb left. Essentially, I flat called a couple hands that I probably should have just folded (ie. AXs) and got myself into trouble.

I've played a few live tourneys at my local casino's in the last year to get a better adjustment. I find just playing tight the first few hours gets me set up pretty good to make a run as plenty of people are willing to stack off on top pair, speculative hands. Mind you those tournies are terrible structures and usually less than $100 buyin.

Any and all last minute tips or adjustments would be appreciated! Cheers.
