    I qualified for tonights Omaha hi/lo $215 event on stars last month but unregistered a while ago. I've never entered an event above $100 before but I have a crazy stupid ROI of 275% this year playing hi/lo and got my first 4 fig score (cashed out 1k) two weeks ago winning a $16 2 x chance 08 mtt!

    Would it be stupid of me too play this event and should I look at playing the 2nd chance event instead? My main problem is I feel like I can grind back the money if I lose it but thats gonna take a few weeks. And am I going to feel like shit if I dont cash? And does it feel special to play in a wcoop event or does it just feel like any other tourny?

    I guess this is what u call taking a big shot! lol.

    it's going to be a bad choice most of the time. But if you want it go ahead but you're probably busto after you play it.

    Guessing your still swimming in it then? ;)

    My only advise is to just not play with scared money, or meet half way and play the 2nd chance. GL

    Unless you can redeposit, its horrible bankroll management to "take a shot" with 88% of your bankroll. GL if you play as I have a feeling you are going to play either this or the 2nd chance regardless of bankroll management advice. Hopefully you bink it if you do play.

    I have thought long and hard about this all day, and I think I will follow ur advice guys and not play. What I will do instead is go back too grinding and set myself a goal so that I can then enter the L M and H O8 scoop events in April.

    majorly jealous that you're able to play a hi/lo event with that buy-in. but yeah you should probably hold off on it for now.

    100% unregister.

    Respect the low stakes, if your avg buy-in at micros is 4.40 you have 48 shots.

    be a reg at 2.20's and you have 96 buy-ins...

    wcoop is overrated unless you can play at least 10 events comfortably

    play a $30 satellite, you'll still have enough left to buy in outright if you don't win the seat, gl

    why don't you just play some like $25-50 mtt? I dk what stars schedule looks like but I bet you can find one with a good guarantee this weekend. too risky to play IMO but you only live once and it might be fun.
