I played the Sunday Hundred Grand for the first time in a while and came 1085th for $40. I felt I played very well and again, on the last hand, had my chips in with the best of it (All In pre-flop then he hits a three-outer on the flop) ...
With blinds at 2k/4k and with Antes, I've raised to 10k leaving myself 20k behind. The Big Blind with 38k pushes in and I'm auto-calling. I have to admit I didn't expect to see him flip over A2 and I obv didn't want to see a 2 on the flop. But, it did ... :(
More about this in the morning. I'm off to concentrate on railing Derek (Oenone) who is on 273k and in 90th position of 195 remaining.

Hi Billy,
Advice on the Sunday $100k ...
Without meaning to belittle Derek's amazing 11th place finish, it's teh kind of tourney I usually have open as a secondary game as play in the very early stages is loose / stupid. Play made hands aggressively as you are likely to get paid.
When you make the money it's cross your fingers time.
I'll see you on Saturday - Derek and I will be there around 1:10 on the assumption that doors won't open until 1:30.
I assume you've pre-registered? I'm gonna call tonight.
The SHG is a nightmare of a tourney and as Neil suggested it should only be played as a side game for the 1st few hours.
I started playing last nights whilst watching Family Guy with the Mrs for an hour so I didn’t play many hands, apart from my BB a couple of times and a couple of speculative sited connectors that missed, for quite a while.
The play is crazy early so you need a big pre-flop hand to push with or if you can limp in late position with a good speculative hand (rare opportunities) you could get paid off big if you hit.
It becomes a push fold game quite quickly IMO but if you can be patient and wait for the correct position or the right cards you can keep yourself afloat.
Even when I was deep into the game last night I’d get a double up which would take my M to around 10 and shortly after the blinds would increase taking it back to around 7 and then the blinds would go by and your back to push fold again.
Enough rambling….. In summary the SHG is a game of picking your stops well and playing for all your chips.
Push and pray poker at it’s finest.
Cheers for the advice guys, will mibbe give it a go on sunday then.
