This event is a $1500 buy in Pot Limit Omaha tournament with 4500 chips starting, however, there is a slight twist to the starting stack. Instead of getting the 4500 chips up front you get 1500 and can take the additional 3000 (in 1500 stacks) at anytime during the first 4 levels of play. All levels are 60 minutes.

My question is what it the best strategy for taking the chips into play:

1) start with 4500
2) start with 1500 and add if I get short
3) start with 3000 and add anytime I feel I need to
4) (this is the one I think is best) - see what the rest of my table does then -

4a) take the same stack or
4b) take 1500 more that the rest of the table if it is not the full stack

Your input will help me!
Thanks

theres no more lammers this year im pretty sure

Yea sorry mate there is no twist to the starting stack. No lammers this year.

Are you sure...I thought I read on the WSOP site that the option was included this year. If not, then no issue!

How this goes in cash games usually is one guy buys in short and the player who sits left of the shorty buys in short aswell to not to be the sucker, left of that player follows and so on. Then you get yourself a shortstack game.
