When someone is opening too wide or overfolding to 3 bets, you don't need to start playing crazy hands to fight back.
Just take what a chart would 3-bet and simply widen by one pip. If they are extremely wide then 2 pips.

Had the pleasure of joining Michael for a glass of wine the night of his @VenetianPoker $65,526 winπ.
Retired for 11 years playing casually, started taking it more serious this year and just hit his new best score.
He was on cloud 9!
$10k Main Event @WSOP starts tomorrow.
You've made dozens of decisions leading up to this week that'll affect how you play
No time to learn more strategy. It's time to maximize your ability to execute the strategy you already know
Here's what I prioritize for Main Event Day 1:
Before play
β’ Wake up 2β3 hours before play (closer to 90 minutes once deep and turnaround times get shorter).
β’ Get outside within your first 30 minutes. Morning sunlight helps wake you up, improves alertness, and helps set you up for better sleep that night.
β’ Get moving. Even a 15-minute walk or mobility routine is enough to wake up your body and brain.
β’ Plan your meals ahead of time. Know where you're eating and what you're ordering so you're not scrambling during dinner break.
During play
β’ Learn the bathroom options. The second-closest bathroom is often faster because everyone heads to the nearest one. If I'm in the SB or UTG near break, I'll often skip the last hand to beat the line so i get to enjoy my full 20m break.
β’ Use breaks to recover, not consume more information. Skip the doomscrolling and bad beat conversations. Go for a walk, do a few breathing exercises, meditate, or just sit quietly for a few minutes.
β’ Document tough hands. Once they're written down, you can stop thinking about them and get back to focusing on the next decision.
β’ Have three methods in your back pocket to help you deal with tilt or lack of focus. For me its things like pushups, breating excercises, wind sprints, cold shower.
After play
β’ Cut off caffeine ~10 hours before bed. You may still fall asleep, but your sleep quality can suffer.
β’ Avoid meals, alcohol, and THC at least ~3 hours before bed when possible or else it impacts your REM sleep. One night won't matter much, but after 5β8 straight days you'll wish you'd been optimizing your recovery and sleep sooner.
β’ Avoid endless phone scrolling before bed.
If you're studying poker before Day 1, skip concept videos.
Review real hands instead from wSOP. The goal isn't to learn something brand new, it's to sharpen the decision-making you'll actually use tomorrow.
One last thing...
I'm documenting every interesting hand I play on Day 1A of the 2026 WSOP Main Event, along with my thought process and adjustments throughout the day.

One of the most rewarding parts of coaching?
Watching your students compete at the highest level.
Antonio Vargas made a deep run and found himself playing for a WSOP bracelet.
This was a fun one to sweat π

One of my favorite @WSOP resets is escaping to Mt. Charleston.
Weβve done two hikes over the last couple weeks with @jakacoaching members. Great convos, fresh air, and a much-needed break from the grind.
Highly recommend it if youβre in Vegas.
Two JAKAcoaching members are still in the hunt! π₯
Manda Moore and Angela Jordison have both made Day 3 of the @WSOP Ladies Championship.
48 players remain from a record field of 1,475, with $194,630 up top.
