  Congrats man.
  
  Just keep low and wait for your hand.
  
  And read MTT strategy articles. That's a must.
  Also, watch coach seeberger coachings, like this:

  Hey dannyrickets,
  
  Congratulations on qualifying to such a large tournament
  
  It's always nice to bink something like this through some satellites.
  
  I have never really played any large tournaments like this but my best advice would be to take your time before making every decision. Study your opponents and their plays as much as possible and make notes.
  
  Most of all though, enjoy the experience! It's not gonna be something you play every week (well maybe in the future, I hope) Don't be afraid to make the moves when you have the correct cards/odds to do so.
  
  Keep us updated too please and I hope to hear of a nice cash in the morning
  
  Best of luck,
  Gary

  At the biggining you play deepstacked poker. Don't invest whole stack without nuts. AA you can push only preflop. Set mine, nut flashes, nut straights... Ve patient and play IP. When antes come, you can start making moves and steal more.
