Card Player magazine just published an interview with me for their “Capture the Flag” series. It was actually conducted soon after the WSOP, which is why there’s so much talk about that and the comparison between tournaments and cash games.
For example:
BP: Can you give our readers a sense of why cash games are a great tool for becoming a better tournament player?
AB: If you only play tournaments, odds are that you don’t have a lot of experience handling turn and river decisions or playing 100 or more big blinds deep. Those situations just don’t come up that much in tournaments. You may not have a lot of heads up or short-handed experience either. So when tournaments like the WSOP main event, which have a really deep structure, roll around, you aren’t going to be as experienced as a cash game player. And if you’re fortunate enough to make a final table, you’ll benefit from the experience of having played short-handed and heads up cash games.
