Relax and learn about your opponents and the game as much as you can.

play no poker.

go somewhere like brazil where no one will bother you.

i would guess this be the optimal way for myself to deal with such a long layover which such big money on the line.

I'd take 300k and bet on myself to win when the odds are most favorable.  As long as you don't go out first, it won't seem like a lot of money because the payout is so steep this year.

Way to represent P5's! Man u must be living on cloud nine.

I would pm Menlo, Annette, Waco, MattG and see if they would like to all meet up everyday for five hours the next 3 months to talk strategy.

Gl! 

Also, F a vacation right now you will have plenty of time after the FT.

Just keep in mind that you may only have that 900k. Don't go crazy... obviously you got a big roll now but if I were you I'd spend the next month or two learning how to invest at least 500k of that money so you are set for a super early retirement... this may be your biggest/only million-dollar score of your life.

I'd play a bunch of the $10k events during this time... hopefully the other eight players will be in the field and you'll be able to continue playing against them.

Good luck when the time comes around.  I'll be rooting for you.

I wonder what you could get if you auctioned 5% of yourself on ebay?  117 day layover thank you harrahs for the endless possibilities.

 Use Annette and Charder to broker a deal with a least 2 of the others at final table to go all-in blind on the first hand ...

Get an agent to start figuring out how you can market yourself to make some cash.  It's all about the branding and may as well let someone else market you instead of worrying about those things yourself.  Good luck man.

seek advice from the past few main event champs; gold and yang's wins arn't flukes and their results since prove that
