Planning to attend the WSOP this year in Vegas? Whether you’re a seasoned pro or first-timer, you’ll benefit from reading some of the information and tips below.
👇
1/ Plan ahead. This is a big series. It’s important to book your flights and accommodation early. Make sure you have your passport and any travel documents (visas) that you may require. Being early will save you money that you can use for buy-ins (you’ll need a lot of them).
2/ Accommodation: Your best bet is somewhere on the strip near the Horseshoe. If travelling with others, consider an Airbnb. You can compare between hotels on the Caesars or MGM resorts sites. Beware of resort fees.
3/ Tournament schedule: The WSOP schedule can be found here: wsop.com/tournaments/. You may want to check out some of the non WSOP tournaments that run during the series: thehendonmob.com/vegas/
4/ Your play schedule: You’ll want to factor in day 2s when creating your schedule as well as potential break days. It’s a long summer and you’ll feel the toll of the grind at some point.
5/ Tournament registration: Don’t spend hours waiting in lines because you weren’t prepared. You can register online via the bravo app here: wsop.com/registration/ so it’s best to figure this out early rather than later.
6/ Food options: Once you get there you’ll want to scout around for different places to eat during your dinner break. There’s a lot of options. The key is to try to avoid ending up queueing for food.
7/ Following for more #WSOP tips coming up!

In our first thread on preparing for the #WSOP we gave a general overview of things you might want to consider.


Today we'll look at tournament selection and bankroll management:
1/ During the WSOP you can expect to see very large field sizes of up to 10k runners. When looking at bankroll management for tournaments, players often neglect to factor in the effect that field size can have on variance.
2/ A common way to simulate variance is to use the prime-dope calculator found here: primedope.com/tournament-var…

Poker players often obsess over bluffing, value betting is where most of the money is made.
Today, we'll be breakdown a river value betting situation. Image
1/ The hand starts off with Hero calling a 3bet with AJs. On the flop we face a small cbet and proceed by calling.

We can see here that SB is betting almost entire range and IP proceed mainly by calling. ImageImage
2/ We arrive at the Qc turn. Here we see that it’s correct for SB to continue betting quite frequently with non Qx hands for value, choosing 1/3 pot with some pocket pairs. Of course, SB has incentive to slowplay some Qx as well. Image

Donking into the last aggressor is often seen as a fish move. Today we’re going to a river situation where this can be a good play…
👇🧵 Image
1/ Hero defends the big blind with QJo and flops top pair.

We check call vs a small c-bet, a medium sized turn bet and donk out for 1/4 pot on the river.

Why might donking make sense here? Let’s have a look at the action in the solver…
2/ Flop play: Big Blind opts to mainly call here with QJo although we can see some QJs with a backdoor flush draw raising as well as some other top pairs that raise. Image

To trap or not to trap? That is the question.

In today's solver breakdown, we'll be exploring the concept of node-locking and how deviations from equilibrium affect river strategies.

🧵👇 Image
1/ Hero arrives at the river with a full-house. What should we do?

We’ll see that our strategy heavily depends on how our opponent is playing the turn with his value hands.
2/ To begin let’s look at the flop.

Hero checks entire range and villain is meant to bet mostly for around 1/2 pot. In game MP opted for a smaller sizing. ImageImage

Poker is easy when you river the nuts but it's hard when you only beat a bluff

In today’s solver hand breakdown we’re going look at how a hand plays account in a solver across each street.
🧵👇 Image
1/ Flop: OOP checks their entire range and IP bets 50% pot at a very high frequency. OOP continues by calling all their pocket pairs along with some of their best ace-highs and king-highs with backdoor flush draws. ImageImageImage
2/ Turn: On this low turn card OOP is actually meant to donk 25% pot at a reasonable frequency. All the overcards missed. Ace-highs now have additional gutshot equity so OOP bets out small to “protect” their pocket pairs, some flush draws, overcards and gutshots. Image
