there used to be a "WSOP Academy".... I won a free entry to it and a trip to vegas during the wsop on the old espn poker site..... I miss that old site, it ran true, without the b.s. agenda(s) of fulltilt, pokerstars, blowvada, carbon, etc.... dealt as truly random cards as I've ever played on line.... as for the Academy itself, it was pretty good, got to meet and learn from Annie Duke, Annette Obrestad, that FBI dude on tells (very interesting), and some other blowhard whose name I can't recall.......
problem is, no way a three day seminar can teach you anything close to what all is involved in becoming an expert..... tho I did pick up some damn good tips..... put em to use right afterwards to final table my first wsop trny..... wasn't a bracelet event, but chopped fiveways as the chip leader, with each player peeling me off a few hundred extra since I had the lead... been hooked ever since.....
