Poker Tips Video Source & Information:
As you’ve seen in the past months I had the pleasure of interviewing some of the brightest minds in poker about what separates them from the rest. Check out my interviews with Jaime Staples, Shaun Deeb, Phil Hellmuth and Jason Somerville. Try to remember their poker tips and poker strategies.
At the end of each interview I asked them for a 30 second run down of poker wisdom that you guys can use to improve, specifically catered to the WSOP. My favorite question was, ‘what is the best piece of poker advice you ever received?’

love hellmuth's advice on bluffing 50% of the time
I love this video series
Generally you should he bluffing around 20-30% of the time. Maybe a tiny bit more heads up but not too much more than that .
i like that last bit of advice. helps me deal with the fact that i don't get range merging…lol
Awesome tips – thanks!
Played the main event this year. Did well! Cashed at 403rd. Just play patient – know you'll make your chips eventually in this beautiful 2 hour blind structure, even if you just play your premiums (though you won't go far if you do) on the first day and a half.
Blinds are very relaxed as we all know and it's not worth stealing til about 5 levels in or so (in this years structure, there were a few levels in a row where the antes were worth 1.5 big blinds – + the blinds = 3bb. Very profitable play to raise 2.5x – standard raise at those levels and take it down vs weaker players) so just play good hands if you're scared.
Got tough table draws from day 1 – John Juanda on my right, high stakes pros 3, 4 and 5 to my left. But apparently at the start, the field is soft so if you've got the hand reading ability – go for it.
Somerville's advice on not tangoing with the excellent players is sound, but they also are the ones more likely to consider folding to bluffs if they're not LAGs. So choose your positions to do these carefully and you'll get to take decent pots off them by barrelling turns on good cards for your action.
Do 3 bet often at the beginning of days – you don't wanna make yourself a target (if you act like a fish – the sharks will smell the fear, believe me haha).
But at the same time – play! Take in a few deepstak tournaments to warm yourself up, make sure you get the sleep nutrition and focus right, and you'll be set to go guys!
Learned a lot (gotta fix a few leaks I have… my mid stage strategy wasn't sound. Donk betting at 30/40 bbs into a person who calls cbets often is silly. As is trapping with top pair good kicker on a drawy board – they didn't hit the board. Got a 2 pair on the river for 100k when the average was 400ish. Don't know what I was thinking). Had the time of ,my life though. Definitely go do it at one stage of your life if you can!
