World Poker Tour Boot Camp comes to the Isle

By Nick Sortal October 3, 2008 07:45 AM

I wrote in today's Showtime section about the World Poker Tour Boot Camp, an undertaking I visited a couple of years ago, as I began to learn poker.

Because I was working, I didn't sit in on everything but here's what I got:

Play only premium hands, especially in early position.
Limp less; put players on decisions more.
Suited connectors can be a beautiful thing.

This boot camp is more on the cash game -- sorry, haven't been able to pull the trigger on that yet, but...

So, what would you want to learn from a cash camp?

About the author

Maybe you've made the right play, maybe you haven't. Your heart speeds up, your stomach rumbles.

That's why it's called gambling.

ACTION is a view of the numbers, the psychology and the flavor of gambling here in South Florida, through our lens.

We do have one sure bet. There's something here for you.

NICK SORTAL began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr. Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood Hold 'Em game in Plantation. I have been given the assignment of writing about the gambling life in South Florida casinos for the Sun-Sentinel...which means sitting around watching poker on TV now counts as research.
