CC WSOP
I would love to hear more about the wsop experiences....what was it like to walk into a huge poker room and see hundreds of players including some pros?
Was it intimidating? Did you change your strategy from your local poker room play? Were you trying to win it all, or were you just trying to cash? For those who made it past day 1, did you get any sleep? Were most of you at the Rio, or nearby hotels? Was it difficult to book a room....how far in advance did you need to book?
Anything else you could add would be wonderful to read. Thanks.

Being at the Rio during the WSOP is an amazing experience. You see pros every day - at the tables and in the halls.
It is not intimidating for me - but I have been going for years. I don't change my strategy at all and never try to just cash - though I will tighten up a bit near the bubble if I need to based on my stack size.
I have only stayed at the Rio one time - staying there is not important to me because I play at other places on the strip as well. I stayed a couple of nights at the Aria and the rest in my timeshare. I would recommend booking rooms a few months in advance - but you can still get them last minute.
Using Uber and Lyft to get around is reasonable and easy.
