Faraz Jaka's Main Event Tips! #1: Identify the Weak Players

To mark the WSOP Main Event, Faraz Jaka has given us some top tips for those playing in the most prestigious event in poker. You can always find more help and advice, as well as free poker resources and training videos on Jaka Coaching.

Top Tip #1: Identify Weaker Players

"My first tip is to identify the weakest players at your table," Jaka told PokerNews. "And while this may be important in all tournaments, in the Main Event it's extra important because you just get so many recreational players, and maybe this is the one big tournament they play a year.

"So be sure to identify who those players are. You want to raise their big blinds a little bit wider, you want to three-bet and isolate them. And really try to get into pots versus them."

Find out more about Jaka Coaching

Jaka says that these weaker players tend to belong in two separate camps:

"There's going to be ones that are scared money that you could kind of run over, but then there's gonna be others that are gamblers.

"They're the ones where you actually have to kind of hold on and hit something, so be a little bit aware of who they are. They're definitely the ones you want to get into a pot heads-up with.
