I hope this happens to you and you're the one with the 77

I did not pay close enough attention to the schedule this year for the Main Event.  Am I reading it correctly that the November Nine idea is not being used this year?

Not being used

 

[Waingro]

Here's a question - about half my table had sunglasses on.  What are your thoughts on sunglasses?  I picked some up yesterday but not related to wanting to wear them tomorrow.  But if they consensus here is that I should, I will.

Just do as Laak does and play with a Ski Mask

Pretty calm reaction from Selbst.

My friends did tell me I should do anything I can to cover my face.  Not because I have tells, just because im ugly and will have a better chance of getting on TV if people dont have to actually look at me.   I have great friends

Get it in with the best of it

Seriously, I have no advice, just wishing good luck!!

IIRC, @Getzlaf15 @FatUncleJerryBuss are WSOP vets - hopefully they have some solid advice here.

I like it. Except for the 3 sitting with 6 figures, you're a threat to every other chip stack. Try to loosen up really early on if you can to pick up some chips. If it doesn't work, tighten and wait for your spot.

I can do the long math and find out what table or you can tell me.  I know many players but this is the ME.  Lots of unknowns.  

But you know their names.  Go to hendonmob.com and search them.

 

[IC FBGCav]

91?

 

[AAABatteries]

Two cards of the same suit and you folded?  Newb

No #### - I'm pushing all-in there.

Just looked.  3 of them are on the site, one with over $300k in winnings if im looking right.  Brasilia table 719

 

[IC FBGCav]

Brasilia table 119

You are 719.  

 

[IC FBGCav]

There is not a name circuit player or pro there.  Your hendon research will be best.  

 

[IC FBGCav]

ie good draw, ie take it DOWN!

I also like that the short stack is two to your right. He's going to push at some point into your blind. If you wake up with any hand, it's worth a call to try and bump your stack.

 

[IC FBGCav]

More likely people get out of line, plays perfectly to your plan. 

If do right, no can defense.

I'd try to avoid playing pots with Justin in seat four. He's a solid player, though, he mostly grinds limit games. He does have a bracelet in limit holdem back when they had that as a shootout. Nice dude fwiw. Gl!

 

[r0llin_game]

Double

Keep doing whatever you have been doing.

I may have missed it somewhere in this thread but do we know our heros name and is there a site where we can track him and the hands played?

Would love to follow this today.

How many entrants in the ME this year?

 

[Megla]

.

 

[James Daulton]

When our hero gets the inevitable player profile on ESPN a shout out to his FBG brethren is a must, yes?

We practically played his hands for him.  And we made sure he knows how to exploit 2 sooted cards next time.

Im in room Brasilia at table 719 with 54,300 chips to start.  Im a little hesitant to post my name, but its rather simple to find if you go to wsop website and look at the "reports" tab for the main event.  You can find me by chip count or table.  I played on day 1A

Best place to look up table info and follow along live?

Here's the chip count page with our hero.  I am not sure how often it updates though.

Yeah, I found that.  I meant to follow along the table live, sorry.

I haven't found a way to do that

 

[Don't Noonan]

I saw Assani Fisher on that chip count page.  Didn't he use to post on FBG?

I don't think they update live with this many tables left.  I am in the Brasilia room for today which is the same room as the featured table and seemed to get a few more chip count updates than the other room. 

I'll try to update some hands on here while at the table if I get a chance/get bored to keep me from playing hands I normally wouldn't.  That's been the hardest part for me.  I can't sit still for a whole day, I need distractions.

you  can download the MyStack app and you can update your own totals on the wsop.com page.  Only the pros get them updated by the runners during play.

This is serious money so you need to find something to keep you from being bored.  If posting here will help, then by all means do so.

Again, remember a few things as a last reminder:

1)  Do whatever you can to never call off all your chips.  If you think that situation is approaching, be the first one to act.

2)  Don't play marginal hands in bad position.  You can't afford to bleed off chips unnecessarily.  If you find a spot, then at least raise if you're going to do something like that

3)  Unless you're not getting action, play your big hands fast and hard

4)  Position, position, position.  Find optimal times to raise and pick up chips to help stave off blinds/antes and keep you around until the double up you're looking for.

5)  If/when you get that double, settle down and repeat

6)  Have fun....you've already done incredibly well making it to day 2.
