"My third and final tip for the WSOP Main Event is don't do what everyone else is doing. The majority of people who play poker are losing players. So don't worry about what everyone else is doing and what they're saying. Because if you're doing what the masses are doing, you're probably not winning.
Jaka says that a common mistake players make during the Main Event is trying to see too many flops.
"People will want to see cheap flops, so there will be a raise and a bunch of calls. You don't want to join their party. You want to fold and play tighter when it's going multiway.
"Or you want a three-bet squeeze and thin the field and get it heads up."
