Daily 3-Bet: Merson Toss, Viva Mexico, Trickettspotting

Any tips or ideas for a future 3-Bet, drop a note and a link in the comments and we’ll include you/it in an upcoming post.

Today in the 3-Bet we find 2012 WSOP Main Event champ Greg Merson reaping the rewards from wearing his Baltimore Orioles jersey last year, Team Online Pro Shane Schleger getting the documentary treatment for his daily Mexican grind and revisit Sam Trickett's rave-inspired 2012 WSOP.

Let’s just hope he fares better than John Wall:

If you happen to end up in the November Nine yourself this year it might be worth considering some non-traditional long-term perks with your clothing choice.

2) Shane Schleger Stars in Viva Mexico

As purveyors of the short poker documentary ourselves, we’re obviously big fans of PokerStars’ ongoing video docs of its Team Online Pros.

The star of the latest edition is Shane “Shaniac” Schleger, who opens up for the cameras about his “drifter” past, his up-and-downs in poker and his ongoing Black Friday exile in Mexico.

3) Reliving WSOP 2012 with Sam Trickett

Remember that dream life of Sam Trickett we mentioned yesterday? In case you were having trouble visualizing it, here’s a taste of what it was like last summer in Vegas through the Trainspotting-esque lens of of his fiancée Natasha Sandhu:
