News AVP Doug Survives Day 1 of WSOP $1,000 No Limit Event I'm proud to say that I just survived day one of the very first WSOP event I've ever played in my life. What a day! Share your advice for Day 2 in the AVP discussion forum. Date: 05/31/09 Room: General News Summary: I'm proud to say that I just survived day one of the very first WSOP event I've ever played in my life. What a day! Share your advice for Day 2 in the AVP discussion forum. Content: Whew! What a day! It's 2:15am and I just got home from day one of the WSOP $1,000 No Limit Event #4. This was my first WSOP experience, and it was absolutely awesome (and grueling). We started at 12noon with around 3000 runners (day 2a starts tomorrow with another 3,000 or so players all competing for the same bracelet). Blinds began at 25/25 and by 1am tonight we were at $400/800 with $100 antes. I was short stacked the entire tournament. There are a number of reasons for that, but one of the big reasons is that the first table I was at today (for nearly 4 hours) was full of some of the best poker players I've ever played against. It was honestly the toughest table I've probably ever sat at. There were pros, Internet poker whiz kids, and a guy playing in the WSOP for the 35th consecutive year (he was even wearing a WSOP bracelet from an event he won in the '80s). The by-product of this outstanding competition was that, since everyone knew what they were doing, nobody busted out. So while other tables were accumulating chips by virtue of players busting and new players sitting down, at our shark infested table we were all just passing chips back and forth. I don't think a single player busted out from our table until about 3 hours into the event. Nevertheless, here I am, sitting pretty with a short stack of a little more than $10k, which will be about 10x Big Blinds when action resumes Monday afternoon at 2pm. I feel really proud to have lasted the entire first day. At the end of the session tonight, there were only around 350 players remaining, which means we'll be really close to the money when action starts up Monday. If anyone has any suggestions for how to play my short stack on Monday, I'm all ears. And if any AVPers are going to be at the WSOP on Monday, be sure to say hello. I'll be wearing a custom "All Vegas Poker.com" T-shirt (black with red letters) which my wife actually created for me as a surprise last night! :) Share your advice for Day 2 in the AVP discussion forum. |
