WSOP Academy Featured in Casino Player Magazine
WSOP Academy featured in Casino Player Magazine
Freelance Writer and San Francisco Chronicle gaming columnist Matt Villano anted up $1,499 to experience the WSOP Academy’s two-day Tournament Academy at the Bicycle Casino in Los Angeles this past September and he wrote up an article for Casino Player Magazine about what he learned.
In an effort to better himself as a poker player, he took lessons from Ali Nejad and Kenny Tran and even got Annie Duke to yell at him for playing a suited 10-4 after a long lecture from her about over-valuing suited cards. Joe Navarro’s poker tells were up next and proved invaluable.
Said Villano of the session, “Throughout this latter lecture, my fellow ’students’ were like congregants at a Southern Baptist mass, nodding their heads demonstratively and occassionally mouthing, ‘Right, right.‘”
Turns out the lessons definitely paid off well for him as he walked straight into the main poker room and bought into a $3/$5 No Limit Holdem game for $200 and proceeded to walk away with $300 in profit. Not too shabby.
