Sometimes I can be a little slow on the uptake, so I wanted to make sure I understood exactly how this play a round of Limit Holdem, play a round of No-Limit Holdem, rinse and repeat system would actually work. It’s not actually a “new” event as the WSOP has offered it in the past. After thirty minutes of limit, thirty minutes of no-limit is played before the blinds increase.
I figured I’d check in with a living legend to see how the abrupt shift in styles was working out.
The gregarious Eugene Todd, bro commented, “You just gotta remember what #@%ing game you’re playing, bro. And you gotta make sure you get your big hands in no-limit.” I’m fairly certain only the best of the best are able to pull that one off. As I was walking away, Eugene Todd, bro had one more observation for me regarding the difficult task of reading the new card design. “These cards were hard to get used to at first, bro, but I think I got it now. It’s kind of like the first time you see a #@!%, bro, you kinda gotta stare at it for awhile before you can figure out what the hell it is.”
Two players who were both outspoken at last year’s WSOP about problems with the cards were seated at the same table in today’s event. When I asked Andy Bloch about how he was adjusting to the limit/no-limit shift, he said that not knowing the difference actually helped Mike “The Mouth” Matusow.
A player raised in early position, Mike min-raised (thinking it was limit), and his opponent called. His opponent bet the flop, Mike min-raised and random guy called. Mike then called the “minimum” bet on the turn which put a second 
on board. Random guy then made a big bet when the third fell on the river, Mike realized it was actually no-limit and stacked the guy off with a flush.
nh, sir, nh.
