Re: Advice for my first WSOP tourney?
yeah, its ridiculously dry. Grab 2 bottles of water off the servers every time. Always carry a bunch of singles to tip em.
Take a sweatshirt/hoodie; it's cold in there.
Play the cash games and win money if you're not playing a tourney.
They closed my favourite eating spot from previous years (the mexican place upstairs; the mobs never got there). Poker kitchen is ok and right there - philly cheese steak was a good fill up and they have some healthier options. The curry restaurant in teh casino is decent, if you like that kinda thing.
Every break, I turbo walk down into the main casino & back via the outside route - get some outside air, a wee bit of heat & also stretch the legs. Plus the bathrooms aren't mobbed.
The rio has free shuttles to the strip if you wanna go there (from teh side entrance of the main casino). Sometimes I just walk it, though.
Live players in teh tourneys really do suck. Lots weak tight and loose passive, esp early. Watch out for the odd tough aggro internet type and adjust to each accordingly.
