Late WSOP Update

So the WSOP has come and gone. I’m gutted I didn’t cash but it’s only one tournament, right?

I have discussed pretty much all of the interesting hands and overall I’m happy with how I played. I’m confident I was +EV against that field, at least from what I saw and heard about from others.

I was chipping up loads early on and had a decent stack after the first two hours. One of the things I was somewhat concerned about before playing is that I wouldn’t be able to play the way I like to play, due to the WSOP being, well, the WSOP!

I’m happy to report that I played almost exactly how I wanted to, both early on, and later when I got short. I got my money in ahead making an aggressive move into a pot that would have probably seen me through to day two (there was only one level left for the day). I don’t think I could have done more than that given the circumstances.

I haven’t played much this week but I’m slowly getting back into it. I’m thinking about trying to qualify for the PCA if I can get the time off work. I still have plenty of W$ left over, but we have the WCOOP yet to come, so I guess I’ll see how that goes first.
