Part 3 of my trip report from the 2013 WSOP is now appearing in the Two Plus Two Magazine. It deals with the only two preliminary events in which I made Day 2: the $3000 Mixed Max and the $1500 PLO8:
“By the end of Day 1, I was playing deep-stacked PLO8 with relative comfort, even with Mark Gregorich, author of the O/8 chapter ofSuper/System, at the table. He actually complimented me on a sort of tricky slowplay, which was great for the old ego.”
In other Two Plus Two news, recent podcast guest Carlos Welch also has an article in this month’s magazine. It’s the first in a three-part guide for small-stakes players who want to spend a summer in Las Vegas:
“This is a World Series of Poker (WSOP) guide for small stakes tournament players. It should be useful for those of you who dream of experiencing the magic of the WSOP but don’t have the bankroll to play for millions or the skill to play with top players. This is for the grinders, the modern day near-Moneymakers who bubbled the $40 satellite, but still want to live the impossible dream. I’m here to tell you it’s not impossible because I just did it. I spent 45 days in Vegas with less than $3,000 in my pocket. I rubbed shoulders with giants and returned home with more than twice the bankroll I brought with me.”
