Taking a Shot
Depending on who you are, these $1,500 events are the perfect events in which to take a shot. For most people, "taking a shot" means scratching together 1,500 bucks, daydreaming about the event for weeks, not being able to sleep the night before, and making the most of every hand they're dealt once they hit the table.
For a lot of pros, though — pros like Joseph Cheong — the $1,500s offer the chance to take a shot of a different kind. Being the lowest non-hold'em buyin of the summer, these events are the pros' chances to try their hands at some of their not-so-strong games.
Have a look at Cheong's latest tweet:
