Tournament Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
The initial team
The initial team had limited success and broke up due to inconsistent results. But, the team was changed forever when, in 1980, Massar met Bill Kaplan. A new team was formed and within 10 weeks the team managed to more than double the initial investment of $89 000. Players and investors split the profits. Players were paid in proportion to their playing hours and win rates.
By 1984, Kaplan
By 1984, Kaplan had come to be too much of a business risk to any casino and, had he shown his face, he would quickly be followed, searched and asked to leave. Nonetheless, the team played throughout the 1980s with roughly 35 players using capital amounts of up to $350 000.
