Exclamation FORNATALE: Live bankroll showcase for players like NTamm

Live-bankroll tournaments allow players to focus on strongest opinions
By Peter Thomas Fornatale

http://www.drf.com/news/live-bankrol...ngest-opinions

Nick Tammaro is a respected, young public handicapper known to many horseplayers from his frequent appearances on Steve Byk’s “At the Races” radio show. He’s also an accomplished tournament player. Last weekend, Tammaro won his way into the National Handicapping Championship for the fourth time via the Arlington Park live-bankroll contest.

Tammaro traveled around the country in 2015 to NHC Tour events, but this year, his play has been a lot more targeted. He understands the importance of what poker players call “game selection” when it comes to his contest play. That is, he wants to spend the most time and money focused on tournaments that suit his particular areas of expertise. In his case, that means two things.
