Richard, I looked at your stats and you can flat out play. You don't need any tips, you just need to play your game and trust your reads. I always want to read your advice in the hand analysis section, as you provide great insight.

Just go to the tourney and do what you do best.

what you playing in prague? If you havent played many tourneys like this just try to pick someone at the table who looks like they know what they are doing, watch how they carry themselves at the table, and as a start try to mimic what they do. Thats what I did when first getting into live and seemed to work out well lol

well, I've played like 6-7 events abroad before including an ept. Still, I can't seem to profit from even the 5 and 10 rebuys for the past month and I cut most of my sessions short due do losing too many tables at once and go play computer games instead ^^'

dont get discouraged, but for me even when losing at live i still love it. I play so much online I almost never allow myself too while away on a trip. I take it all as a learning experience and figure it good practice to try to get live reads.
