Hold’em with Holloway, Vol. 24: Accepting Bad Beats & Lessons in Selling Action

Poker in Wisconsin is going strong, which was evidenced by last weekend’s Mid-States Poker Tour Potawatomi in Milwaukee. The tour, which was visiting the property for a second time, set a state record for largest turnout as 635 entrants created a prize pool more than triple the $200,000 guarantee. As a Badger, I was excited to take a shot in the state’s premiere event.

In preparation for the tournament, I opted to sell some action. The MSPT allows players to enter a maximum of four times (only one reentry is allowed per starting flight up through Level 9), but I don’t like to get in for more than two (one for each day).
