Now that I'm home, it's time to look back at the WSOP Main Event. Most tournaments are ho-hum, but there's something about the Main that gets your blood pumping. I'm hoping to play again next year to atone for some of this year's sins.
Do you have a fitness band? I wear a Fitbit Charge 2, a toy/gizmos I enjoy. It displays my pulse, and I have a low one (in the 62-66 range). While playing in the main, I noticed it was often 72ish. After one big hand where the villain (unsuccessfully) bluffed me, I noticed it was 85.
My fitness band also records my sleep. I noticed the three nights before I played, I only slept 6+ hours. The nights in-between, I slept 8 hours. Sleep is important. What can I do next year to improve on this? I also noticed late in Day 1 and Day 2, I lost chips. Was I tired and not playing as well?
I did eat properly. When I play, I see guys on their dinner break with plates piled high. You will find me eating a salad.
What else can I do to maximize my chances next time?
How can you improve? First get better cards! Second get lucky. Third take chances when you sense weakness. Fourt be patient while waiting for the first three.
ReplyDeletePatience, patience, patience is the key to these things, imho.
