Here’s a good tibit from Conor Tate, who will be at my table today. Apparently he’s a pro with some British coaching site, but I found his blog from his first day’s play both interesting and informative. Two highlights:
“I immediately get the impression my table is going to play quite tight at first but I don’t get a pair or a decent ace for the entire first level to take advantage of this.”
???? and
“…I get dealt 77 under the gun. I flat call for 800…. I can’t believe it when I see 774 with two clubs! … I decide to just check the flop and the other three players do likewise. The turn brings the 10 of clubs so I’m now praying someone has either hit the 10 or made their flush or even picked up a flush draw. I check again and Willie bets 3400. The button and big blind both fold and now I decide to make a small raise hoping to get a call if I make it cheap enough. I make it 7k…”
Heh.
