Hi guys, thanks for your excellent input, I love the site.

I've won a seat worth UK £200+£20 (aprox. US $320+$32) in a monthly televised Sky Poker online event via a loyalty freeroll. Usually I only play in tournaments with micro buy-ins between £2 and £5 (US $3 to $8) and small fields, say 30 to 150 runners. My preference is for bounty events and fast structured tournaments. Occasionally I play in mid stakes tourneys when I win a seat via a satellite. I'm purely a recreational player, but I play daily and consistantly earn a decent ROI. The event I've won a seat into is a 6-max deep-stack tournament with 12 minutes levels and no antes. The field is capped at 60 runners, there'll probably be between 50 and 60 entrants and 8 spots paid, just a min cash would be my second biggest ever online score. Occasionally in the past I've sat at online tables with some of the full time pros who'll be in this event, I'm totally at ease in their company and hold no fear playing them.

How should I approach this tournament? I'm torn between two choices;

1. I should just treat this as freeroll and play my normal game. I've got nothing to lose so I needn't worry about taking the usual calculated risks, I'll enjoy it and play for the win.

2. Take a more careful nittier approach, place more value than usual on my tournament life, avoid flips if at all possible and try to survive for a min cash.

Any advice/opinions gratefully received.
