PPT trip report(very long)

[2005]

While I get a little nervous just talking to Greg, I don't ever get nervous or intimidated when I'm playing. If I did, I would never survive.

Gavin-
Very interesting. Have you always had this confidence or did you build it up gradually playing in live tournaments?

[wjmooner]

I've never really been nervous when playing a tournament. I got a little nervous at the beginning of the first WPT event I ever played and I got nervous at my first WSOP event for a little bit, but even at the final table of the WSOP event I won I wasn't nervous at all.

Glad you posted this Gavin, it's great reading.

Did you write down these hands or is it from memory?

A lot more limping pre-flop then I would have expected from players of htis calibre. DOesn't it make it hard to play postflop when blinds are getting such cheap looks?

[2005]

Not PPT alternates, but the day's alternates. They didn't have enough room and we were the first 9 to sign up after they filled 15 tables.

David,

I wrote most of the hands down and did a couple from memory. Yeah, it can be a bit difficult to play after the flop with all of the limping, but limping wasn't necessarily the norm, it just so happens that some of the more interesting hands happened when the pot was limped.
