Fludlerk I second Grahame's sentiments. The whole point of this is to get opportunities to play in larger stakes tournaments that we normally can't or aren't really willing to get involved in. If we take down a profit, all the better. When I started with the CNPL concept years ago I was relatively new to the poker scene, but I learned an awful lot from the experience and now can money in MTT's far more regularly, even going deep to final tables once in a while. I still get nervous, especially in bigger stakes (although I tend only to play those live, not online), but what I have learned most is to relax, enjoy it, and see what happens. Bad beats will always hurt and you tend to remember them more than the wins, but just really enjoy it and try your best. When we did the CNPL version, the folks involved (like Grahame and Sloth) were tremendously supportive of each other and we all tried to encourage, rather than pressure, whoever was the chosen player each time. I'm not worried about when, just let us know and know we're backing you win or lose, (though winning is way more fun. :))
moose The sunday tourney you are looking at probably 4 hours just to cash so yeah it's an all day thing if you go deep. There is also the nightly $70k, $55, starting at 9:30 pm but again at least 3 hours just to cash.

Sharantyr I am ok with the "reasonable" time being within a few weeks of each win. I would rather you make sure you will have the time and energy to play to the end rather than you passing out midway on your kb and being blinded out, or worse, have your boss call you when you are heads up!!!;) Good luck to you Bill, and you know I will rail if I am able to for sure! ~Shar
