| Foxwoods main event, Day 1 |
[Nov. 6th, 2009|12:13 am] |
Finished Day 1 at Foxwoods with 30,775, barely better than what I started the day with. I thought my table was pretty good desirable [1], but from stories I heard around the room and from friends, perhaps it was a below-average desirability table draw. It seems the field is really soft, arguably the softest field of any 10k event on American soil outside of the WSOP main event. I had a couple of mediocre players and one really bad player at my table but it seems stories abounded of horribly misplayed hands.
For my part, I don't think I played particularly fantastic either. But I'm still around, so hopefully I get a good table draw for tomorrow. Back at 'er at noon; you can following along on my twitter.
[1] We decided in the WSOP house that using "good" to describe a table is ambiguous because it could mean "good to be at" or "there are good players at it", so we are trying to push forward the less-ambiguous "desirable/undesirable". |

My table is somewhat strange in that only one player has an above-average stack (and unfortunate in that the possessor of that stack is the only name I recognize).
Best of Luck and hope you win it all.. | |
