WSOP Main Event, Playing Online
Day 1 of the Main Event went very smooth and well as I expected going into the day. I basically controlled the table the whole day and played on average about a third of my hands. I was never wrong when I folded or called the river. I had very good reads on about half the players at my table and finished the day with an above average stack. Day 2 however didn’t go my way at all. I didn’t play that amazing to be truthful. The table wasn’t playing the way I wanted it to, people were doing very very strange things and it messed with my game plan early. I lost almost half my stack in a very freak hand that I don’t even care to discuss vs. one of the L.A. Lakers players, back-up point guard I forgot his name. Then our table got broken and I overvalued top pair against a young french guy and I got slowrolled and eliminated.
I went to the Pokerstars party last night and hung out with Anita and Matt Hawrilenko (Hoss_TBF) most of the night. Anita and I went to some decent chinese place in chinatown and called it an early night. I feel as I didn’t play amazing Day 2 of the Main Event because of the early crack of dawn noon start. I have a few more days before WPT Bellagio Cup and they have a 12 p.m. noon start as well, so I’m trying to bring back my schedule 20 minutes every night/morning so I’ll be more prepared and focused for that event.
The past few days I’ve just been playing online in some 25/50 and 50/100 PLO, 200/400 and 500/1k 2-7 TD, 500/1k and 1k/2k HORSE on FTP, and 400/800 8 and 7 game on Stars and FTP. That’s what I plan on doing for the next few days before the WPT event as well.
