Playing my first ever WSOP tourney today. Event #57 - $1k NLHE. I'm hoping to play the little one for one drop in a couple days as well. Let's do this!
EDIT: 108.2k, first break.
EDIT: bagged 165k for day 3. 23/26 left. A double up and I'm right back in it. One time?

Try to win when you have the best hand, but also when you don't have the best hand.
Got it. Triple barrel every seven two off.
All in if they're suited.
Pre-flop, naturally.
I get 28bb's in pre with KK vs AA. 462QK board. Let's do this.
Niiiiiiice.
My first too. Let's go!
Good luck! Keep us posted.
Busto. Started w 5k. My set of 6s < set of Ts on flop for about 7.5k. Then 88 < KT AIPF for 1.2k. Almost made first break. Haha.
Rough. Set over set is the worst. Gg man.
Fold AA pre if its a 5 way pot. Better to err on the side of caution
i feel like no one has ever folded AA pre at their first WSOP
I can't tell if this is mocking that Askreddit thread or not.
There was some card player article 5-10 years ago where it was down to 3 handed and the lady who was being interviewed folded AA pre when the other guys shoved. Her reasoning was that in the long run she'd earn more guaranteeing second than taking the chance and ending up in third or something. I doubt it but does anyone remember this?
Well, if it was actually the last 3 people, and the other people shoved, then I could see the reasoning, as the difference between 2nd and 3rd is usually a fair share of the prize.
Depending on the stack sizes, I could make the same call. Would probably have to be really short stacked tho, as in would not be the chip leader even if winning the hand.
Lol. I was trying to argue this in the folding AA thread the other day (I maintained it wasn't a bad move in certain situations). I got blasted for it and downvoted to hell for having an opinion. That's where this whole folding AA joke started, so many smart arses here.
11.5k at 2nd break. Slow and steady...
Bagging 47.7k for day 2. We return at 600/1200/200. 278 remain, 270 cash. Good vibes.
Sick job dude, have a good sleep and get yourself ready for a big day. GL HF.
Thanks bud. Appreciate the support.
How did you go today?
Check the edit. Made day 3, but only 13 bb stack. 26 left. You never know...
Been following your comments. Good luck in day 2!
12.2k at dinner break. Very up and down couple levels. 200/400 w 50 ante when we start back up. Some people panic here, but 30 bb's is just fine. I feel good about my shove/fold game if it comes down to it, so let's finish the night strong.
That first day was way longer than I expected is all I remember. Hope you made it!! Glgl
Go straight to sleep. Shits so tempting there.
5.75k at first break.
Day 3. 165k (~14 bb's). 26 are left, I'm 23rd in chips. If there was ever a day where I needed to run hot, this is the fucking day.
Is this even real?
Christ man, WIN THIS
That's the plan! Gonna be real tough tho. This Stephen Graner dude is a beast. Has twice as many chips than the 2nd guy. I was at his table all afternoon yesterday.
And you're at his table again today :(
Let him do all the work for you then steal it from him at the last second!
gl - make them fear you =)
Have a great time and good luck!
Good luck man!
Just remember: play perfect poker.
Bink it!
Run good!
Winners know when to win.
Good luck!!
Good luck! say hi if you see me. (I'll be only guy wearing pink Burberry hat).
