    As these really as ridiculously loose as the Card Player write up's make them sound? 2/3 of the field out by the end of level 4? Is the play really that bad or what is the deal? Has anyone played these yet this year? I'm playing one of the upcoming ones and was curious as to how people have approached playing these things. Any feedback on these would be much appreciated.

    Yes half the field is gone fast but it still takes 3 days to win the event. I played in 2 of them June 3rd and 4th.

    Each level is an hour, in Event #4 781 entries tourny started at 1 PM, at 6:30 PM, there were 170 players left and at 9:30 with 15 min break and 1:30 dinner break there were 145 players left. by 1 AM you made the money.

    Event #3 had 3,000 players and half the field was gone after 5/6 hours, I think people made the money around 1 AM as well...not sure

    Just play your game.

    With 3000 chips and 1 hour levels you would think you would have more time to play. However, the blinds increase very quickly, so if you make an error or take any kind of beat you can be in short stack mode quickly. You must play a little quicker and accumulate early. Keep the pots small until you have the nuts or can out play opponents early on. Just play your A game and shoot for the final table. GL, hope to see you on TV.
