WPT’s Fall Boot Camps

“Boot camp” is term generally given to the military training that turns a kid, whose greatest challenge in life was getting past the Nightmare level on Halo 2, into a well oiled fighting machine. This type of training usually involves trading one’s locks for a tacky camouflage wardrobe and the type of food that even a wiener dog would turn their nose up at. After 8 to 10 weeks of running, sweating, and getting yelled at by somebody who works out their personal issues by intimidating teenagers, boot camp is over and the cadet is transformed from a pile of useless goo into something their parents can be proud of. If this is the sort of experience you are looking for, the WPT boot camp is definitely not the place to be.

Poker After Dark - Durr Does It Again

The $100k buy in event featured the best players out there, such as Phil Hellmuth, Tom Dwan, Allen Cunningham, Guy Laliberte, Mike Baxter and David Peat. It was Baxter and Dwar who mixed it up before, and were destined to do it again in this particular hand.

Poker After Dark - Hard to Read

All the players at Poker After Dark’s the Cash Game show admitted one thing: Durr was hard to read. In the $100k buy in event Phil Hellmuth, Allen Cunningham, Guy Laliberte, Mike Baxter, and David Peat were playing with a crafty player better known for his skill online as Durr, but his real name was Tom Dwan.

Poker After Dark - Big Man Straight

When Poker After Dark started their new season, they started to bring in some new blood as well. In the Cash Game episode, where players paid $100k to play, Phil Hellmuth, Tom Dwan, Allen Cunningham, Guy Laliberte, Mike Baxter, and David Peat were invited to play, with only Allen and Phil being old timers.

Is the WSOP Watered Down?

Watering down the talent pool has made it tough for the good players to shine. A world class player who has to face down 6500 opponents in a big tournament like the World Series of Poker Main Event is still a heavy underdog to make it to the final table. This is evidenced by the fact that it has been over five years since a big name pro has won the WSOP Main Event, and this year the November final table is basically a who’s who of the poker unknowns.

Be Wary of Going All In

The all in bet has been a staple of big poker tournaments ever since the ESPN cameras became part of the sport’s reality. There are a number of reasons for this that can be explained from a tactical point of view, but the reality is that the all in bet is exciting: it’s the “Home Run” of the sport of poker, and makes for good viewing. Newer players have been watching this on television for years, and it has become an accepted part of the game. In older days these types of all or nothing gambits were less frequent.

Tools of the Trade

So does a plumber have an unfair advantage when he uses a wrench to stop a stubborn leak? Well perhaps the leak thinks so, but in reality the tradesman is just using the proper tool of the trade to solve a problem. People might look a little sideways at the gentleman if he tried to stop the leak by swearing at it using cream cheese to stop the flow of water. In short, we expect people to use the tools available to them in order to be good at their jobs. Poker odds calculators are a relatively new wrinkle that has been added to the landscape of the online poker world.
