I don"t know the slower structure suits my game more but IS mind numbingly boring too...
If you"re multi-tabling this is less of an issue.
If not, I got a tip yesterday from a cash video but could come in handy - have your hand replayer open and watch big hands to see how opponents play, does this guy stack off light OOP for example. Also, maybe have some light music on in the background to keep you going. I know the week Laxie won it, there were a few of us on MSN from the start as well, if you get a group of you who are playing it then you could discuss hands etc. I personally have my table, my gf"s table, and Jon MW"s table up to keep an eye on how all 3 of us are going.
And, naturally, there"s here as well!
