Players have always been looking for ways to keep their mind busy during the long grind of WSOP tournaments. Table chatter, random prop bets, trash talking were somewhat replaced with the technological advances which brought along the iPod and various wee music players. Anything to drown out the constant clatter of chips or non-stop yapper [...]

As you might imagine, things have been a little crazy around here for the past few days. I made a trip out west for the November Nine, watched Michael Craig pay off a prop bet, and witnessed a 21-year old kid become the newest World Series of Poker champion. You will excuse me just a [...]

Sometimes things just go way over the top when you’re dealing with the biggest poker tournament in the world. You’ll see some crazy things along the rails, loud player disagreements, whack jobs dressed in all types of getups looking for camera attention. Then you have the times when a table pulls the attention of every [...]

Perry Friedman rocks the Full Tilt Poker “grill” to go with his corn rows I’ve generally stuck to doing a “Week in Pictures” during the preliminary events of the WSOP but I now realize that I’ll be getting more photos than I know what to do with now that we’ve come to the Main Event. [...]

I’m not necessarily the most brilliant person in the world, but today I was smarter than the average bear. Today is the final $1,500 “donkament” of the 2009 World Series of Poker and I realized my timing would bring me to the Amazon Room halls smack in the middle of the Final Lemur Stampede. Instead [...]

After two straight evenings without seeing a Team Full Tilt member bring home a bracelet, I started to become concerned. There were five bracelets already in the bag going into Day 22 and some great chances to add more. Greg “FBT” Mueller collected his first World Series of Poker bracelet after a long, difficult final [...]

The Pros Speak: Greg Mueller – Part Two

The Captain — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 10:40:02 +0000

Last week we presented Part One of our interview with Full Tilt Pro Greg Mueller on what it takes to succeed at the World Series of Poker. This week we’ll continue along those lines and go even further in depth on tournament poker as a whole. Enjoy!

Speaking of learning as you play, do you think it’s important to discuss your play or specific hands after tournaments?

Well, it all depends on who you’re discussing it with and why you’re discussing it. If you’re doing this to get sympathy, to tell a bad beat story, it’s just not worth it. If you’re talking with good poker players, you can get a lot of good information and a lot of insight. I don’t discuss hands as much as I used to, but when I was getting started, I’d talk with the people that I hung out with about key hands all the time, because you can get so much information and learn from the experience. Whatever the case is, sometimes you think you know a lot and after a conversation, you wake up.
