The dirty secret about tournament poker is you need to sun run. We're lead to believe studying and what not will help us win a wsop bracelet. Reality is, you have to get extremely lucky and run well above expectation. Moneymaker, Gold and Jerry Wong all got extremely lucky to win the main.
obv winning the ME requires sun running (just like any event with a field that large), but generally being a tournament crusher is something that is skill based, with the usual caveat that there will be downswings
Was in qualifier for main, so large they had two groups. Two seats. In the first one I was at table with the winner, didn't know he would win. He almost never folded, and almost always won. No games just bet collect the chips ! Extremely lucky. I later checked he entered and won the second qualifier as well. The force and a rabbits foot was with him.
In order to win the Main event, by my calculations, you need to win at least 10 coin flips, apply at least 4 bad beats and also have enough chips to survive loosing at least 5 coin flips and bad beats. Luck is a monster part.
But you don't have to win the main event to come home with a lot of bread. People get too focused on the jackpot when there is another $80m to go around after that.
@@charleswaldon8362 lol do you know what the odds of anything happening 30 times in a row are? More less a coin flip? Go ahead and start trying to flip a quarter 30 tails in a row. I’ll wait…
You don't know how odds work, right? If he bets $10000 on that, he would probably earn around $2. Going out is VEEEEEEERY likely so odds for that are the lowest possible!
You need to win 6 out of 10 coin flips just to survive to each day. If you're somehow hitting 7 out of 10 coin flips, then you're nearing the money and eventually final table.
must be so fqn nice to afford $10k sigh that's so sick though $10k just to be knocked out within an hour. then again, this game does nothing but humiliate people, meaning, players mentally , verbally abuse other players, calling them names, and talk crap and all that. mostly because you don't play the way that abuser expects you to play. if you don't play the right cards that everyone else plays, you're a "donk" why the fuq would you want to play just like other people and their strategy? seriously? then they added math, outs, etc etc etc. nothing one player does matters because technically, it's the way the cards fall on the board and the 2 in your hand, nuff said' what a joke yeah im hatin and a jealous so what! :)
But many who enter do NOT pay $10,000. The casino I play at offered satellites. One was a multi table $200 satellite to enter a $1,200 satellite. If you win a seat in the $1,200.....you win an entry into the main event PLUS $2,000 in cash for expenses. SO your airfare, hotel, etc. is also paid for. And I know more than 1 person who has done this. So you can parlay $200 into a seat in the main event and get your expenses paid. Not a bad deal!
@@iluvmoney6767 winning a 200 then a 1200 satellite is not as easy as you make it sound. Yes a fair amount of the field is made up of this but a) many of those have significant costs from playing multiple satellites and b) a huge amount of the field are still putting up the full 10k for direct entry (even if they’re selling action or being staked).
Thats why you should play to have fun, if you get to go deep and make final tables. Enjoy it while u can. How times have people won a tournament and think dam im good! In the next tournament they enter they're are out 1st lvl. What happened? I just WON before. What a sick horrible game but not that bad. Lmao
Don’t mention the collision that occurs in tournaments. Owning stake in any other player in the same tournament is the same as multi accounting online. But you people ignore this fraud
The fact is the best players have an edge in their decision making which means they can make a little more or lose a little less on average every hand. Over thousands of hands through 10 days of play that edge adds up to a lot of extra chips. A pro still needs to have a load of luck at the right times to make it through because you have to be building your stack quite quickly, and one suck out can still wreck you, but an amateur needs vastly more luck because they have to make up for the chips they are losing through skill gap as well. That said there are vastly more amateurs than professionals in the main event, so it is always likely that some of them will run super hot and make it to late stages/final table.
