Default Advise for first time WSOP player
Hey,

I have a good friend who is going to play in opening event of WSOP. He has had a good run online, and is taking the plunge. It is a $1500 NLHE, the one that Scott Fischman won last year (with a massive runner runner suckout to stay alive by the way, I'm sure most of you remember). Supposedly they are expecting about 2200 players in this event!! Unreal.
He is a good player, solid, but not spectacular by any means. In fact he rarely wins the weekly game he hosts (but that doesnt mean much, its a minefield). I think we are similar players, and actually do better against better competition. But this event will have tons of sharks, as well as rank amatuer meatheads. Anyone who has played in WSOP events, or has any good insight, what advise would you give to him? The only thing I am going to tell him is that he does occasionally rub his nose/face and exhale through nose when he has a good hand!! (I will wait a few more weeks though lol)
thanks
