Introduction
The main event of the World Series of Poker is more than just a poker tournament.
It is an adventure, a marathon, a challenge, a thrill, a learning experience, a game, a gamble, and so much more. Making the most of the experience, by which I mean the most profit but also the most enjoyment and the most educational value, requires coming into it with the proper mind set. I’m about to play my second main event, so while I’m hardly a wizened veteran, I remember my first vividly, and I hope I can offer some helpful insight to those who will play for the first time this year and those who just want to learn more about the experience.
