Title: EPT Dublin- what to do beforehand?
Post by: George2Loose on October 26, 2007, 01:00:56 AM

OK OK hidden brag post but I need your help fellow blondes!!!!

I qualified for EPT Dublin last week for 31 bucks on stars. It's easily the biggest buy I've played. I fly Monday morning and am playing Day 1A on Tuesday.

In preperation should I:

A) Play my normal poker schedule: I usually have a homegame Friday- Saturday off then either go to local casino (£100 comp) or play a couple of Sunday majors

OR

B) Take a complete break before Tuesday

I'm worried if I play and play badly it will effect my confidence however leading up to the event (past couple of weeks) I've been playing well and confidence is high.

Ride the rush or take a break???

Ride the rush obv.

I don't seem to ever run well and live simultaneously so id just play whatever you normally play.

P.S See you in Dublin :)

There is a great charity tourney (organised by Padraig Parkinson for the homeless of Ireland) the night before. I am going to play this and attempt a super-sat for the EPT (if there is one available...)

I agree. Whatever you do, don't play online 6-handed cash the night before.

Ah well.. looks like no EPT for me (or the scrote)... Still the Simon charity is a good cause, so will still be attending :)
