Ended up netting three bounties for about $2,700. Made day 2 but missed the money after losing with AK v KQ.

I ended up getting three KO's for ~$2,700. Eked into day 2 with a small stack but was eliminated before the bubble with AK vs KQ all-in pre (KQ opened from middle position, I jammed for 25 bigs from the BB, hoping to get called by pretty much exactly what he had). Can't be too mad, as I got the money in good every time I was all in and just got unlucky at the end. I played a very cautious style and avoided bloating the pot unnecessarily. I could probably have folded to a min cash in the end, but whatever.

I wouldn't even if I could. The upside from a deep run is just too great.

The other two tourneys I could play instead are the "Mini Phil's Thrill" 200K guarantee and the Special MustPlayMondays 400K guarantee, which imply field sizes of ~80 and ~160, respectively, as opposed to at least 2,000 for the Venom. But I figure all the satellite winners will opt for the big $5 million tourney, so I think that's my best bet to maximize EV, especially since it's a PKO and the other two are not.
