I'm heading to the Borgata in AC next Thursday for a tourney. It's a sponsored by a local radio show (based out of DC). So there should be a lot of donkey action (although I'm sure there will be plenty of decent players as well - Lee Childs played in the last one to name one). Last year's winner took over 30k.

This will be my first live tourney outside of home tournies I've played. Any thoughts or tips anyone can share?

Starting stacks are 6500 with 30 minute levels.

Blind schedule should be the following:
