I'll be in LV to participate in my first one next month. Given that I am awaiting details about it from the organizers (such as timed sessions vs set number of hands per session, and the actual game we will play and its pay table), I know that one's strategy is dependent upon those factors.
So, this is not a post to ask for specific strategy for me, but merely to solicit VP tourney stories from the distinguished members here (and that eliminates you, Rob. Please stay completely out of this thread. I have no use for anything you have to say.)
Any of you play in one and how did it go for you? Was YOUR strategy effective for that particular tournament's rules and set up?
