Final Table: A Winning Poker Approach from a WSOP Champion

I took that approach going in and it helped me mentally. This year, with 15 percent cashing in all events including Colossus, players will reach the money about two-thirds the way through Day 1. Nevertheless, the same approach can be used this year. As you approached the money bubble, could you feel that many players were just hoping to cash, similar to the main event? If so, were you able to take advantage of this? I definitely felt it as it did feel like the WSOP main event. I saw a lot of people just super excited and happy to play and get to the money.

So many people were tweeting and calling people about just cashing. My goal was to lean on the shorter stacks as we approached the money bubble so I could build up my stack. After the money bubble broke last year, the players were busting out so fast. The statistics I recorded were in the first 30 minutes, in the first hour, in the first 90 minutes. What was your approach after the money bubble burst? Initially, since the payouts were so flat in the beginning stages, my strategy was to try to run up my stack.

However, since so many short stacks were quickly getting eliminated, I quickly switched my strategy to survival mode, especially since I had a solid, yet not spectacular stack. Thus, you may want to focus on survival after the money bubble bursts.

If you are able to survive Day 1 this year, you will possibly be in the running to make history. This year, you have the unique possibility of cashing in the event, busting out before the end of Day 1 or even sacrificing your stack at the end of the Day and then entering another flight and cashing again. How do you like this new modification? I love the fact that we are playing so deep into Day 1. Thus, if you take the right strategy, you can play really aggressive, run your stack up and try to bag in the top 10 percent of the remaining few players.

Along the way, you had some ups and downs, taking a few bad beats.

Nevertheless, you kept plugging away at it and fortunately found the crucial double ups that you needed. What do you do mentally to stay in the event, especially after a bad beat? But as soon as you take a bad beat, the heat is suddenly on. What I try to do is forget about what stage of the tournament we are playing, even if it is very deep in the event.

Exciting Day of Poker

Additionally, you want to focus on your current stack, not the stack you had on the last hand and try foolishly to get all your chips back in one hand. Last year, at the start of Day 3, there was only about two percent of the field remaining. This year, the field will reach that point at the start of Day 2. You were one of the average stacks entering this juncture last year, how did you approach the tournament with so few players remaining? I was feeling great, just riding the wave and not trying to let the weight of the moment hold me down.

Entering Day 2, I knew there was more room to play as the levels increased to 60 minutes from 40 minutes this year, Day 1 is 30 minute levels. So, depending on your stack and which players possess chips, you have to assess which players to put pressure on often the players who were inexperienced and who to avoid the experienced players. Illustrating the delicate balance between risk and caution, this unique companion is a must-have for Friday night enthusiasts as well as professionals.
