If it were me, I would definitely spend as much time playing live as I could between now and then, especially in live tournaments. I'd also make sure I was in decent shape, because concentrating for 8 hours at the poker table is draining.

LoL thanks for your support man.

This is obviously the TRUE test, how good I REALLY am.

I'm not sure what the deal is with wearing the websites gear though. I'd imagine that I would have to.
That's quite the pressure you're putting on me to make the TV table!

That would be quite amazing if I did though. I've only a small chance though. 2200 players in each of the first three day ones. Which means 220 tables, so basically less than a 1% chance that I'd be on TV for day One. Day Two would have 1950 players, which would put my odds of being on tv 195-1, again low odds.

Ice, I did rebuy once I got below 1500 chips since I saw so many other people doing it.

Unless you happen to get on a table with a famous pro, then I think your odds of getting on TV are much much lower

A gimmick is probably good way to get on TV, the less self respect you have the better your chances of 30 seconds of fame. Screaming, shouting, crying usually work, amaaaaazing chip tricks could do it, as could an outlandish costume. Competition will be high in this regard.

The best way I can think of is to lay one of those really bad beats on Phil Hellmuth, you know, like calling his all in overbet two pair versus your flopped quads. Mike Matusow is another person this could be done on to ensure TV time.

Congratulations as well by the way,

Molina

And to think that I sat at a $50 table with Suhleafs one time. Damn, I feel important now!

Big huge major congratulations. Amazing stuff.

Any chance you could put an avatar showing your actual photo on here, so we know what to look for on TV as the cameras pan around the room? Once you make the final table, of course, we'll all know who you are.

Good luck man.
