Title: Views needed: WSOP Main Event Post by: TightEnd on June 14, 2005, 02:08:30 PM I'd like to canvass some opinions please, particularly from those playing in the WSOP biggie...
How would you approach it in the early stages? very tight? get involved? any adaptations from your normal game? I won't throw up the standard "would you pass AA pre-flop on the first hand of the WSOP" type discussion question because I think it's dumb, but you get my drift those that have played it before, does anyone play loose early on? To give you some context, I won a seat, have no expectation of financial return from the event but due to work/children commitments can only go for the one event thanks Yours, dreaming of a Star-studded starting table.... TE Title: Re: Views needed: WSOP Main Event Post by: RED-DOG on June 14, 2005, 02:31:13 PM I would play my own game, (such as it is) like any other comp, and I certainly wouldnt pass up a chance to double up early
wish I was going, you jammy sods Title: Re: Views needed: WSOP Main Event Post by: ariston on June 14, 2005, 03:28:28 PM great advice Reddog. Play your own game, if you normally get involved early then do so. Try and not think about the 6000 players or the 10k buyin or the superstar players. We all start with 10k in chips and we all only get 2 cards each, gl and will see you out there.

Title: Re: Views needed: WSOP Main Event Post by: ariston on June 14, 2005, 06:23:53 PM No sarcasm whatsover. You should try to play it as if it is your normal game, the first "big tournament" I played in I was bricking it. The more you play the more comfortable you feel but if you try and be anything other than yourself at the table you will come unstuck. You cannot be a rock if you are a shall we say unconventional player and vice versa. Play your natural game! I gave this advice to someone in Monte Carlo the day before the big event as they were looking a little nervous and they went onto to cash and but for an outdraw would have won it imo.

Title: Re: Views needed: WSOP Main Event Post by: snoopy1239 on June 14, 2005, 08:15:42 PM Surely 'play your own game' is bad advice if you're rubbish 8)
Title: Re: Views needed: WSOP Main Event Post by: tikay on June 14, 2005, 08:37:24 PM Would'nt know. Ask Red-Dog. Title: Re: Views needed: WSOP Main Event Post by: ariston on June 15, 2005, 12:41:18 AM rlmao. If you were rubbish you wouldnt have won a seat in the first place. I know the internet is full of fish but they dont just give these seats away you know.
Title: Re: Views needed: WSOP Main Event Post by: Ironside on June 15, 2005, 12:46:42 AM what happens if some rubbish guy bought himself in cause he couldn't win a seat
or some guy just happened to play and win a seat at a site full of fish like betfair for instance Title: Re: Views needed: WSOP Main Event Post by: Scottish Dave on June 15, 2005, 09:03:30 AM what happens if some rubbish guy bought himself in cause he couldn't win a seat or some guy just happened to play and win a seat at a site full of fish like betfair for instance excuse me??
