Well, after consulting with a number of people, I decided not to play the WCOOP main event. I think that it would’ve probably been slightly +$EV to play the tournament, even with all the scheduling conflicts, but I don’t need to take every small +$EV opportunity that comes along. If I did, I would play poker for as many hours as possible, every single day. I basically became a poker player exactly so I wouldn’t have to work all the time. Therefore, I decided that rather than lose a ton of sleep, and be unfocused for Day Two of both tournaments, I would get a day’s rest, and a good night’s sleep, and be very focused for one tournament. As of this writing, it’s 1 a.m. and there are still 685 people left in WCOOP, so I’m liking my decision even more. Had I played, there would’ve been a very real chance of making Day Two, not cashing for very much, and getting blinded out of Borgata in the process. And who knows, I might not have enjoyed the J-E-T-S victory today as much if I’d had to play poker immediately afterwards.
Stoxpoker coach Garrett Beckman is currently in 14th place in WCOOP as I type this. I wish him the best of luck for the rest of tonight and tomorrow.
I, meanwhile, am going to get some sleep for Borgata.
