Miami John and Some Other Old Guy on Limit vs. No-Limit
Since the last time we wrote about him he was keeling over at the table, it’s our pleasure to show a better, more-capacitated view of Miami John Cernuto — talking to Matt Savage after being the technical winner (he chopped) of the LAPC’s Event #28, $545 Limit Hold’em.
It was one of the few disappointing field sizes at the LAPC: 71 players, 9 paid.
In this winner’s video, Cernuto and 2nd place finisher Edwin Smith discuss not the $18,000 they split up, but limit vs. no-limit and whether or not you’ll see a resurgence (or the continued decline) of tournaments with far fewer all-ins:
Also: kudos to Tom Schneider for taking 6th and an $1,870 prize. That’s almost enough for a rebuy in a real 21st century poker event, lol.
I’ll Bet: This field probably provided fewer tweets from the felt than any other event at the LAPC.

Who has time to tweet when you’re trying to save bets?

No limit has more of a instant gratification. you can double up in one hand rather than 10 hands, and that’s why young players like it. It’s also more of a challenge. I feel like I’m stating the obvious though.
