Re: Should I buy into a Main event?
Those three tournaments were about 80 hours of poker. There were many "close decisions". In retrospect I would have to say that I was more not unlucky than lucky. By that I mean I did not get unlucky very often. Most of the time I had the best hand when the chips went in and I did not get outdrawn by a larger stack. That to me is not unlucky.
You cannot just play your cards because sometimes the cards don't come. You have to play your opponents as well. I always try and put them on a hand. So far my instincts have served me well.
The competition level in the $10,000 buy-in was definitely tougher. The structure allowed a lot more play as well.
