Hedging Your Bets

Let's face it. For many player in the field -- even the most skilled -- the Main Event is something of a lottery. You need some luck and you need some run-good to go along with your skill if you hope to be one of the November Niners. With only 10% of the field reaching the money, thousands of players will leave having done nothing but light $10,000 on fire. They'll need a back-up plan if they're looking to get rich quick.

One player at Orange 327 is already thinking ahead. He has a copy of The Warren Buffett Way: Investment Strategies of the World's Greatest Investor by Robert Hagstrom on his lap. He's reading it in between hands.
