The Main Event
Juli 04, 2009It's arrived.
It's here.
Five weeks of WSOP deliriousness has rewarded us with the best poker tournament in the world. I'm glad I ventured down to the Rio yesterday; the level of excitement in the air was a much needed booster-shoot in the arm. Similar to last year, I am ambivalent about the outcome of the event for me. I simply want to play the best that I can.
This is my third main event, and my exit has been particularly rough in each event (99 vs 88 on 984 flop 8 on river then KK vs AQ last year). I have a few two goals for the day: 1) Stay in the moment and 2) let the game come to me.
That's pretty much it. I don't think having some kind of elaborate strategy really works. You have to take things on a table-by-table basis. The first point I picked up in a lecture by Howard Lederer and the second came in a conversation with Joe Hachem.
