POTD #53 SCOOP Main Event 2022 Bullet 1 vs Paffchen

In POTD #22 I busted bullet 2 of this tournament, today we go in the time machine and see how I busted bullet 1

A subscriber-- I forget who, my apologies-- recently wrote to me to say the first poker strategy content they consumed from me was a series I did for Run It Once titled “A Tale of 12 Bullets.” In it, I reviewed my play in a PartyPoker 10k with multiple starting days where I fired 12 bullets, to determine what I could have done differently. In POTD #22, I reviewed a hand where I busted my second bullet in the 2022 SCOOP Main Event. But what about my first bullet?

Today, we rewind a whole 90 minutes from POTD #22 to look at the tale of my first bullet in the SCOOP Main Event, a tournament I ended up entering four times. Later on, we will look at what happened with bullets three and four, but for now, enjoy A Tale Of Twelve Bullets, The Sequel: A Tale of Four Bullets - Part 2.
