Jeremy Ausmus do you eat full meals or only do snacks? curious about your recommendations
posing this question for everyone else too and curious about your best suggestions. i've been searching for delivery to the table i'm playing and have only found pokermeals. might try them and looking for more options.
Hi. I think this will be very dependent on each individual. Personally, I've been doing small meals/snacks throughout the day and that's what works best for me.
Last year was my first WSOP, what i kind of focused on, is to have sandwiches, fruit, veggies in my backpack with me so i could just eat that during the 20 minute breaks, and a big jug of water lol.
Last year was my first events in a few years. I'm not a big fan of crowds, to say the least, and I really liked finding a secluded place in the hallway doing a few push-ups and laying on the floor for a while with my eyes closed. Actually came back extremely energized after each break.
did you make your own sandwiches or buy from somewhere?
last time i played WSOP was 6 years ago and we had all american dave which delivered to the tables. my entire summer gameplan is all mapped out except food. who knew this would be the hardest part!
theres a CVS you can go to thats right outside of the horseshoe, also, Theres a great breakfast spot called oceans 1, that does like $7 breakfast, bacon sausage eggs hashbrowns toast, its great, right on the miracle mile.
I can't express how awesome I think these types of videos are. There's so much about strategy out already and it's amazing to hear how good pros are actually managing professionalism. Could honestly listen to a lot of the new coaches just talk about whatever for hours on end.
Reporting back after a week at the WSOP. Here's some things that worked well for me.
Get snacks and sandwich at CVS.
It's right next to Paris. I tried ordering Doordash, too slow and painful to meet them during breaks. Also tried pokermeals delivery service that meets you inside the casino. Food is healthy but not that tasty and costs $30+ per meal.
Know your plan during breaks
Usually 20 mins first break, 20 mins second break, 30 mins third break. etc I'll eat a big breakfast that should get me through the day, then snacks/fruits during the first two and a sandwich during the 30 min one. thanks TRUEPOWER for the advice! I tried shoving a whole meal down during a break and I felt and played terrible.
Use Bravo/TBIC if you can
Just used my phone to buy in and re-enter quickly. The lines to register are long. FYI you can NOT deposit winnings back into Bravo this year. I heard you can do that with WSOP tournament account but i dont have that
Get rest
I bought an eye mask and that kept the light out. Also downloaded a free white noise machine just in case people were loud in the hall or next door. Also stopped checking social media every day was a good exercise. im addicted to social so just getting away and focusing completely on cards was great. I'm a terrible sleeper so even when I was up at 4am in the morning I just forced myself to lay there. I was decently rested even with 5 hrs of straight sleep a night. Hoping to get that closer to 8 hrs during the main. Any advice on sleep is appreciated.
Non-smokers
The walk to the horseshoe side is really rough. The ventilation feels non-existent. You may want to grab a filtered mask or something. One of the mornings I had a start on that side and actually felt dizzy from inhaling too much of it on the way there. im gonna do some research and see if N-95 masks work for it
Hope some of this helps and hope to see ya'll for the Main event!
Nice video Jeremy Ausmus . In your 15 or so years grinding WSOP summers hard, have you always had this approach? Or was there a year where you locked into these ideas and saw the difference? Congrats on a great summer this year as well. Watching you and Siever race for POY was a ton of fun.

Jeremy (If others have thoughts, feel free to reply too),
How do you approaching tipping (or not) when cashing in tournaments in general or specific to the WSOP?
Thanks!
