I've been here every year, but I haven't had the opportunity to win one yet, although I've been at the final table a few times. The most enjoyable WSOP tournaments were back when they were two days long. They required great patience and there were different strategies to them. The closest I came to winning was in the lowball tournament a few years ago. I don't know how much intelligence it took to start off at those limits, but I've never been afraid of learning.
Observation probably is the greatest characteristic that a poker player can have.
Now I look to play as many lowball tournaments as I can. The lowball tournament at the WSOP always falls on Kentucky Derby Saturday, which I've been betting since I was 12 years old. Breaking up the tournaments into two-day events is the logical way to go, I think. If you're trying to make a living, there don't seem to be enough hours in the day to take care of one tournament after the next, play satellites, and some side games. And for those of us who are looking into sports, that's another consideration.
