Wiesenberg on Draw MTTs
 

Michael Wiesenberg finally wrote an article on PL Draw tournaments. Here it is

To be honest, I didn't find anything terribly new or enlightening here. Guess what, low/medium two pair is STILL a trap hand.

There will be a part 2 to this article in the next issue of CardPlayer.

all fluff [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] wonder how much he was paid for that?

Re: Wiesenberg on Draw MTTs
 

I agree it could have been better, but don't pretend like you haven't gone too far with your two pair or been to weak with it, something I think was the most advanced concept in the article.

I was too harsh on Wiesenberg. I hope the villains in this hand (particularly UTG, who had limped with Ace high on the previous hand) never read his work.

Chat afterwards:
UTG said, "wetre you dealt that set?"
UTG: "f.ucking draw"

Re: Wiesenberg on Draw MTTs
 

This is why I keep the chat on. I love the insights from some of these guys.

Re: Wiesenberg on Draw MTTs
 

Can you tell me why you are only drawing one and not two with the set?

He put you on 66K5x before the draw. Standard.

They might fold if he draws 2.
