0-5 to start the WSOP
After busting around 35th in the 50k, I played a few NL events and a Triple draw event. Fortunately other than the 50k they were all small buyin events because I haven’t cashed in any. Pretty much have not even come close other than the first one.
Finally we get some 10k’s starting on the schedule. Today is the 10k Stud Championship where I am always regarded as one of the favorites. I finished 14th last year. Hope to improve on that this time around.
Haven’t taken a day off from tournaments so no cash games yet. First week is over. Long way to go.

Matt,
I really enjoy stud and I feel that the game would be more popular if it was played as a pot limit game. What are your thoughts on this?
I host a home game where most players are No Limit Hold’em players so when I broke out stud for the first time they didn’t respond well to the limit structure, but when we play Pot Limit Stud they enjoy it a lot more.
To me no-limit and pot limit are the only way to play poker and think this is especially true in stud where you can push players off there draws and bluff easier than if the game is played with a limit.

glad to hear that you’re focusing on the games you excel in. No point in losing money on Chinese poker. You never go on tilt and that will ultimately lead to success. I call first pic with bracelet after you win one!
