WSOP Final Tableby Roy Winston | Published: Aug 03, '08 |
The idea of coaching and providing one of the final 9 players with a competitive advantage has not come to pass as of yet. Quite frankly I am not surprised, but perhaps a little bit disappointed. The thinking may go along the lines of I made it this far without any professional help so why change now. I will go out a little on a limb here and speculate about a player like Tiffany Michelle. Had she approached Michael and I for her last couple of days of play I think we could have made a difference. Now I'm not taking anything away from her, she played great and hey made it much further than I did, but at the end her play seemed to deteriorate and she got very aggressive and seemed to lose focus. I remember Jack Nicklaus playing in The Masters at Augusta back when he was in his prime was missing a bunch of putts. The announcers keep saying "wow he's moving his head and pulling everything left." Eventually one of his crew heard this and told him, and shazam he stopped moving his head and started making more putts. With some coaching coming down the homestretch Tiffany just might have made the final table. The difference for her both financially and recognition wise would have been huge. So if any of the final table players are interested, Michael Binger and I are ready to help.
