I only had a couple days, so I played in the first two events. The first event had 165 players, most of which were extremely weak (what should I expect for a $100 buy-in) and was a lot of fun. I made the final table, cashed for a profit, and made a few friends along the way. I made one mistake, and had one poorly timed move that actually worked ...

Final table of the 50k HORSE event at the WSOP. To call Scotty drunk and obnoxious would be generous. It was like watching a train wreck. I kept wondering why the TD didn't say/do anything, although it's possible they did and it wasn't televised. A shameful exhibition of low class behavior.

It involves knowing when to push hard with hands, whether you have a strong hand, or you have a read on the others in the pot that tell you that they will lay down to a proper sized bet. The hardest part about the strategy, IMHO, is the fact that it limits your hand selection ...
