Title: Stuart Rutter, WSOP 2018 package, selling at 1.0
Post by: easypickings on May 10, 2018, 03:06:00 PM
World Series of Poker 2018

I am selling at 1.0 for a package of 35 events, starting June 2nd, at this year's World Series. The package takes on all varities of mixed game, a number of the smaller holdem events, and ends in the Main Event. I will provide full updates of each event on this thread. Here is my Hendon Mob profile:

http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?n=54053

The Mixed Games

I decided to learn all the mixed games in 2010, by using six months as an intensive course to take coaching and study all the different games. Since then, I have topped up each year, and this year have taken coaching again in the three stud games, triple draw and Pot Limit Omaha hi-lo. I believe my strength is that I have tried to remain equally strong across all the different games, which is particularly useful in the mixed events (Dealer's Choice, 8-game, etc). The mixed games provide different extents of value. In the smaller buy-ins, there can sometimes be unbelievable value, to the extreme of players never having played the game before. In the $10,000 events, the value comes from a few recreational players, and the bigger name holdem pros wanting to play the events, without being at all specialist in them.

Size of package

The total value of the package (the maximum possible loss) is $113,750. Percentages, selling at 1.0, will be worked out on that figure.

I have a schedule of events totalling $153,750, but the final four mixed game $10,000 events will only be played if the package has cashed for the appropriate amount before that event. This will ensure the maximum possible loss of $113,750. These four events are listed at the end.

The full list of events, totalling $153,750

June 2nd 3pm $2,500 (plus $2,500 re-entry) Mixed Triple Draw Lowball

June 3rd 3pm $10,000 Omaha hi-lo championship

June 4th 3pm $1,500 (plus $1,500 re-entry) Dealer's choice

June 5th 11am $1,500 Big Blind Antes NL holdem

June 5th 3pm  $1,500 (plus $1,500 re-entry) No Limit 2-7 lowball

June 6th 11am $1,500 HORSE

June 7th 3pm $10,000 Dealer's choice championship

June 8th 5pm $565 (plus $565 re-entry) Pot Limit Omaha

June 9th 3pm $1,500 8-game mix

June 10th 3pm $10,000 No Limit 2-7 Lowball championship

June 11th 11am $2,620 Marathon no limit holdem

June 11th 3pm $1,500 Stud 8-or-better

June 12th 3pm $10,000 HORSE championship

June 13th 11am $3,000 No Limit six-max holdem

June 13th 3pm $1,500 2-7 Triple Draw lowball

June 14th 3pm $1,500 seven card stud

June 16th 3pm $1,500 (plus one $1,500 re-entry) Mixed Omaha hi-lo

June 17th 11am $1,000 Double Stack No Limit holdem

June 18th 3pm $10,000 Seven Card Stud championship

June 19th 11am $1,500 No Limit holdem shootout

June 19th 3pm $2,500 (plus one $2,500 re-entry) Mixed Big Bet

June 20th 11am $1,500 No Limit holdem

June 21st 3pm $10,000 2-7 Triple Draw championship

June 22nd 11am $1,000 Big Blind Ante No Limit holdem

June 22nd 3pm $2,500 Omaha/Stud hi-lo

June 23rd 10am $1,500 Monster Stack No Limit holdem

June 24th 3pm $1,500 Razz

June 25th 11am $1,500 No Limit holdem Bounty

June 26th 11am $1,500 (plus one $1,500 re-entry) Pot Limit Omaha hi-lo

June 26th 3pm $3,000 Big Blind Ante No Limit holdem

June 27th 3pm $10,000 Razz championship

June 29th 11am $1,000 No Limit holdem super turbo bounty

June 29th 3pm $10,000 Pot Limit Omaha hi-lo championship

July 1st 3pm $10,000 Stud hi-lo championship

July 4th 11am $10,000 Main Event Day 1C

The following four events will only be played if the package has cashed for the respective amounts:

$10,000 Triple Draw, if the total cash before it is $10,000 or more

$10,000 Razz, if the total cash before it is $20,000 or more

$10,000 Pot Limit Omaha hi-lo, if the total cash before it is $30,000 or more

$10,000 Stud hi-lo, if the total cash before it is $40,000 or more

Overlap of events

There will inevitably (at least hopefully!) be some missed events, because of involvement in the previous event. In that sense, the only two events that I am absolutely guaranteed to play are the first event and the Main Event. I will decide whether to enter an event using start of level four cut-off. The "non buy-ins" should also include some re-entries that are not required, in the seven smaller re-entry events.

Prices and payment

Based on a $113,750 package, selling at 1.0, the prices are:

0.5%- $568.75
1%- $1,137.50
2%- $2,275
5%- $5,687.50
etc

In the incredibly unlikely case that it is relevant, I am happy to sell up to 50% of the package.

Payment by bank, Stars, or cash in Vegas.

In the cases of payment by GBP, we will note the rate of xe.com exchange on the day of payment, and use it for transfers back.

Many thanks

Stuart

Going to play the L-M-H Badugi and 8game later over the next week, but otherwise been getting coaching and running sims. Partly because it's only ever possible to 2-3 table at mixed game cash, the best hourly online cash imo will always be holdem.  uto

$2500 mixed triple draw

The first event starts 3pm today. Feeling excited to go. It's one of the more bizarre ones- a three game mix of 2-7 triple draw, A-5 low ball, and badugi.

Triple draw we want 75432, lowball we want 5432A, badugi  Ac 2h 3d 4s

Let's go

$2500 mixed triple draw, first break

End of level two, down to 8,200 from 12,500. A few simple 'didnt get there' spots, but then a slightly yucky but interesting one before the break.

Dealt  Jd  Th 9c 2s in badugi, which is a mediocre made hand. Raise CO at 100-200, hoping to go heads up, most likely against someone drawing two. But, button three bets, and BB cold calls. The button's three bet will be about 70% good one card draws and 30% badugi. The one thing I cannot do is just flat, and stand pat, as I make msyelf vulnerable by turning my weak pat hand face up. So, the right option is to four bet. Button caps to five bets. BB folds and I call. The button now, whilst you can never be certain, should have badugi. I pat, he pats. I check, he bets.

This is nasty. He almost definitely has me beat. The options are

1) Call, pat again and check turn. Hoping for a check down, but planning to check fold turn.

2) Fold now

3) It is actually an option to call and draw three, getting 12.5 to 1 immediate odds. Which is very unusual but not as ridiculous as it seems.

I think I'm slightly short of the odds for 3), so actually choose to fold now. It seems a bizarre play of the hand, to go five bets and then fold to one bet on the first draw, but I think it's the only way to go with an unbreakable hand.

Restarting at 125-250.

$2500 mixed triple draw, level three

Down to 4,500. Ran bad Vs the same guy

A5 lowball. Make 76532 on the turn against him drawing 2. He calls, draws one, and checks. I make a tight decision to value bet river. He check raises. Ouch. It's 95% that I only beat a bluff. He hasn't done, or looked like doing, anything out of line at all, so I make a tight decision to fold.

Onto badugi, I start with a nice T952 badugi. He draws 2, then 2, then 1. He checks river, and it is really tight whether to value bet. I check- given I have been pat from the start, he really shouldn't (albeit might) call a Jack. He actually has made A543 for the 4th nuts. I guess his logic was that if I do bet, I'm not going to fold again in the same spot

Then lost a 1 Vs 1 2-7 river spot, not running good

$2500 mixed triple draw

Mid level five, (200-400), busted, and so rebought. That was a shame, was very swingy, got to a height of 15,000, and then promptly lost every pot to lose it all. Busted in a three way spot that gave me a good opportunity to treble- I started 7432 for the best one card draw, and got almost all the money in pre draw. They both drew two, we got the rest of my money in after the first draw. So I had three shots at it but hit the delightful  Kc Kd and Qs.

Second bullet

This is making me wonder slightly what I missed out on, very different table! Very splashy, and one guy is limping (literally) every pot. There's going to be some profitable but high variance spots

$2500 mixed draw

OUT on the second bulet. Got back down to starting stack, and then unavoidbaly lost every pot from that point. But before that, there was just one pot to contemplate. It was a loose passive table, so there were some unconventional pots! We went four way, and drew (2-2-PAT-1), with me being the pat on the button. I made J73A badugi, and the PAT cutoff bet again. It's really close in a big pot. He was pretty tight passsive, but unconventional enough that he may be patting any kind of badugi (even four way), making it right for me to raise and stand pat with my poor badugi. I decided to just call, which would probably freeze him into not betting the river, and thus allow me to have an easy fold if he did check the river. Of course the disadavtnage of not raising is that raiisng has more chance of knocking one or both of the other players off the pot. Ultimately, I decided to call, and one of the players drawing 2 called and drew one. He bet straight out on the river, which felt then like the easiest fold ever given the way he had played. But it's frustrating if me raiisng the turn would potentially hve knocked him out.

Anyway, a fun tournament, and it felt like it went OK apart from those couple of tricky pots described.

Onto the $10k omaha hi-lo at 3pm tomorrow

$10000 Omaha hi lo

Just sat down to start, table actually looks good Mike sexton the only player I recognise.

Two semi interesting pots:

Raise  Ahrt Kd 7s 3c HJ, sexton 3bets button. I have no suits so just call. Flop Js 3d 2c. I have one pair and bad low draw. I check, he bets, I call

Turn Js 3d 2c Jd. I check, he bets. Low draw may not be good. Probably beaten for high. I fold

Raise Ahrt Qc Td 4c HJ, button calls. Flop Qh 8c 4s. I have two pair, no low draw. Turn Qh 8c 4s 9h. I bet, he calls.

River Qh 9c 4s 9h 8h. I have AQ. Ace of hearts in my hand helps a bit. I bet, he calls, and it's a nice value bet.

Got 53k, 50k start, although starting blinds are 300-500 and structure a little quicker than you would think

$10k Omaha hi lo

Nasty one. Raise  Aspades  Ahrt 9c 2s. Flop  Ad 9s 4s. Have it smashed (although the 9 is worse than say a ten, as it restricts FH outs and makes a set over set less likely)

I bet, SB 2bets, BB calls, I 3bet, both call.

A blank or board pair would be lovely.

Turn As 9s 4d 2d. SB leads, BB calls, I call

River As 9s 4d 2d Jd. SB leads, BB calls. I hate it obviously, but k do just about have to call. In fact, SB doesn't have the wheel that he is likely to, but the BB has a small flash. And SB has 56 .

43k

$10000 Omaha hi lo

52,000 near the end of level four (50k starting stack, it's one dollar for 5 chips)

Interesting one, was this an (albeit small) angle? I limp A532 at 500-1000 UTG, SB calls, BB (who obviously has the option to check or raise) puts in 1k and says 'call.' He shows up with AA55. If it was an angle, it's to make an 'accidental raise' to induce me to three bet. I guess he decide to just call (given he apparently thinks there has been a raise) with AA55 , but it Seems unlikely.

10k Omaha hi-lo

Made it through to day two, with 106,500. A good day.

Had been just below starting til the end of level six, then had a great 7th level.

Amusing hand at the end where I had AQJ2 and we went 4-way 3bet pre to a turn of  8d 5c 4s 8h. I bet the turn 4-way for value, thinking I had almost no high value but there was more likely none sharing my low than 2 sharing it.

River was  8d 5c 4a 8h Ts, so I really assumed I had no high, and it was checked three way (now felt very unlikely that there wasn't another A2). There was indeed another A2, but amazingly I had the high with AQ high.

Tomrrow would be a good day to run well. 2pm restart.

$2500 mixed triple draw, first break

End of level two, down to 8,200 from 12,500. A few simple 'didnt get there' spots, but then a slightly yucky but interesting one before the break.

Dealt  Jd  Th 9c 2s in badugi, which is a mediocre made hand. Raise CO at 100-200, hoping to go heads up, most likely against someone drawing two. But, button three bets, and BB cold calls. The button's three bet will be about 70% good one card draws and 30% badugi. The one thing I cannot do is just flat, and stand pat, as I make msyelf vulnerable by turning my weak pat hand face up. So, the right option is to four bet. Button caps to five bets. BB folds and I call. The button now, whilst you can never be certain, should have badugi. I pat, he pats. I check, he bets.

This is nasty. He almost definitely has me beat. The options are

1) Call, pat again and check turn. Hoping for a check down, but planning to check fold turn.

2) Fold now

3) It is actually an option to call and draw three, getting 12.5 to 1 immediate odds. Which is very unusual but not as ridiculous as it seems.

I think I'm slightly short of the odds for 3), so actually choose to fold now. It seems a bizarre play of the hand, to go five bets and then fold to one bet on the first draw, but I think it's the only way to go with an unbreakable hand.

Restarting at 125-250.

Even if a bit short on the odds for 3) you could borrow some odds from the future action you'd get drawing 3?

Cheers Simon. It's definitely close. Presuming I keep any card 9 or lower, there are 21 cards I can catch to improve to a 2 card draw. I guess I am about 85% to improve to at least a two card draw, 20% to a one card draw, and 5% to make a 9-badugi or better. The problem is that there is some reversed implied odds element, if he does currently have a very smooth nine or better- in that I may sometimes be paying money to draw dead, and may lose two bets on the end if I make the 2nd best hand. And not a great implied odds factor, as if I make the best hand on the river, I simply collect one bet. Saying all that, it's definitely close.

Had a close one just before break. Raise  Aspades Qd Qc 5d, BB calls, flop Ks Jd 2c. He checks, i check behind

He leads Ks Jd 2c Js turn, i call

River Ks Jd 2c Js 8h. He leads..

Im 98% that he doesn't value bet worse. Having both the  Aspades and the queens to block the missed draws isn't good. I can easily check a king behind on the flop or trap the turn with three Jacks, so i don't look too vulnerable. I fold

Slightly brutal exit. All in with  Ac Jc 6c 3s against Volpe's very similar AJ62 and he caught

 Kd Th 6c  2h 2s to catch the crucial deuce (and then the house)

Was alot of fun, a slightly desperate hang to make it into the money, i think i made the right folds which enabled me to do so. But still gutting to exit.

Today- an adrenaline come down meant I struggled to sleep, and the two 10 hour days meant I slept well when I did! So, having missed the start of the 11am $1500 NLHE and still maybe in need for a couple of hours to take stock, I think I'll just play the $1500 NL deuce to seven . Sorry about the change. We can almost definitely replace the $1500 NL with NL event(s), down the line. (I'll message people obviously if we do to see if they want in).

So, update

Cashes :$14,912

That was a lot of fun yesterday, adrenaline all the way. It was a shame to miss the 3 spots to get to circa 250k, so given my stack situation on the bubble, the strategy to hang on was pretty clear. The hand where I was up to 120k and lost a lot after raising  Ahrt Ad Td 2c vs Gordo's blind is the close one, but I think it's right given that I can execute some kind of pot control in position. The WSOP had a fairly comical rule that on the bubble, "you cannot leave your seat, unless you leave the tournament area," which left a fairly easy loophole for people given that all three tables could be seen pretty easily from the rail! So, given the clear path to hanging on, it was both desperate and fun to sweat the bubbling eventually bursting.


Really loving the whole atmosphere of the Series, and feel very lucky to have the chance to play so many events. Today's deuce to seven is a special one, it has the real mix of everyone, including sometimes people unfamiliar with the rules. Definitely one to watch every showdown, as people will play with far bigger transparencies and holes than you would ever see in holdem.


Onwards we go.

Hello Stuart

I don't think that AAT2 can be a fold anywhere.   Just a bit unlucky, cards run bad sometimes.  Imagine how dirty you'd have felt for days folding that.   $20 comp online, you'd do your stack with that hand.   There is a good chance I would anyway.    Best to just move on and gl with the next.

Congrats on the cash.  Might bump into you next week.  Hopefully at the final table of the mixed hi-lo.

Definitely one to watch every showdown, as people will play with far bigger transparencies and holes than you would ever see in holdem.


Onwards we go.


Hello Stuart

I don't think that AAT2 can be a fold anywhere.   Just a bit unlucky, cards run bad sometimes.  Imagine how dirty you'd have felt for days folding that.   $20 comp online, you'd do your stack with that hand.   There is a good chance I would anyway.    Best to just move on and gl with the next.

Congrats on the cash.  Might bump into you next week.  Hopefully at the final table of the mixed hi-lo.

Yes I agree Doobs. Look forward to seeing you next week

$1500 deuce to seven

Up to 12,500

Nice hand vs owais Shah.

He raises button to 425 at 75-150(25). I call the big blind. I have KQ532 and draw two. He draws two.

I 'make' 54322 (pair of deuces) and check. He bets 500. A pairis obviously not good in low game, but it should beat all bluffs (with the very small advantage that I have the nut pair hand!)

Edit : Up to 21500 (7500 starting). Let's go

$1500 No limit deuce

Nice pot. Raised the button with 99632 (obviously planning to draw one). Both blinds call.

SB draws one, but now the big blind surprisingly pats. This is an understandable move, but really does turn his hand face up as weak (presumably a pat jack most of the time)

So I decided to pat 99632 and Bluff. SB checks (good news), BB checks (expected).

Obviously level one of patting after flat calling is that he is almost definitely weak, but level two is that he knows that I know that he is weak. However, whatever disadvantage that causes is made up for by the fact that I have a great spot to bluff small, because that is what he might expect me to do if I did have anything I believed to be the better pat hand. I bet 600 into 1375 and take it down

23500

Really nice double up after completely uneventful two hours. 31k

Dealt 86432 (so beautiful) in BB, big stack Co raises to 1,300,
I 3bet to 3,900, he puts me in for 15k. He has a one card draw, I think it's a slight overplaying of his hand, but there is a good argument for it.

I pat, he draws one, has 7652, and doesn't catch his 8 outer.

One unusual thing about this game is that when the all in decision is on me, despite my absolute monster, it's completely normal and ethical for me to tank the all-in call. Its because its not the last action (there is still a drawing decision to be made), and of course is a ploy to suggest uncertainty and to get him to pay an inferior hand.

Dinner break. The hand vs Alexander was..

He has just lost a big band to put him down to 37,500. I raise J7643 UTG1 to 8,500. He shoves. Its very close between

1) fold
2) call and draw
3) call and pat.

I think it's just about a call, at better than 2 to 1. He has played quite splashy, and seems the type of player to go all in light after losing a big pot. If a one card draw is 9864 or better and a pat hand is T8742 or better, then he has the one card draw approximately four times as much. He may not go all with all one card draws, however. If I call and draw, I have the disadvantage of a gutshot to make a useless straight.

I think it's a call and pat. It's horrible if he pats behind - I am almost definitely dead, but it feels like he will draw about 2/3rds of the time, which will make me a 7/12ths favourite.

He does sadly pat, and has 97632.

This is feeling exciting, feeling very lucky to be here and in amongst it all. Its felt quite possible to hit the relaxed but excited mode when playing. We play down to 7 tonight.

Out in 13th.

I had 50k and moved in at 5kbb vs HJ open to 12k with 9832x. He tanked and called with J963. I think it's close but I think its a ropey call tbh.

I Drew first and it wasn't good. An ace.

Still hope. He will pair or catch an ace about 35% of the time. He catches a king

Alot of fun. Gutted. Its been alot of poker. Tomorrow:poker.

Nirvana in the terms of the games - the easy answer is that this may well be the best value event. Well, it's at least up there with the $ 1500 dealers choice. It's definitely a contender for the most fun too. Seven handed, such a pure mix of luck and skill- the luck element obvious when it comes so often down to the drawing of one card, and the skill element strong with alot of maths involved, and a variety of opportunities to bluff. Mostly though, it's a game that almost no one knows how to play properly. I've definitely seen the standard improve over the years, but there is a real feeling of people trying to work it out as they go along.

Out ot interest, going Pleno on you for a second how much is your timing a factor in tbe Jason Alexander hand?

If you tank-pat are you more likely to get a T to pat behind and likewise more likely to get a draw if you snap? Or is this so obvious that its better just taking same time every time?

I wonder with a player like him if a snap pat might have been more likely to induce? Obviously doesnt matter when he has his hand as hes never breaking it right patVpat?

Love following these random games!!

Cheers.. thanks. It's the high level of luck element that makes these single draw games such a mystery to me..especially as I haven't yet developed the skill element related to betting in these games. I play micro stakes in mixed games and love it but have avoided the single draw games for a while so this probably stimulates me to try again

A very good question, Patrick.

Your instincts are right. Plus, of course, out of position at least, there are two decisions where timing will vary- the all in call decision, and the pat or draw decision.  As I said before, it would be completely ethical even to tank the all in call with the nuts, just as it would be on the turn in holdem.

I would say...

Level one is that, hesitation before patting means a weak pat hand, a quick decision means strength.

Level two is that, as you suggest, it is quite clever to reverse that. Hesitate with strength, and pat quickly with a mediocre hand in an attempt to make them break a slightly better hand.

Level three - I've noticed increasingly that alot of pros just routinely use level two. You never get quite to see enough of these situations, but I'm fairly sure alot of good players actually just have a transparent (upside down) tell:, the quicker their pat, the weaker their hand. Thus, level three would be to reverse this, and actually use the 'honest' method of patting quickly with strength.

Level four- I don't think the game has progressed enough even online to this pint, but once all these clever antics are established and recognisable, the evening out point would be just to tank the same amount of time on all decisions.

Back to level three, and back to the idea of using the timing across both the call and the pat decision, I do think currently there is one acting job that is quite effective with a strong hand. That is to tank the call with strength, and immediately pat- as if, after you call decision, you have worried that your hesitation may be read as weak, and are trying to make up for it by patting quickly.

Tough hand at no limit deuce . I raise 8643x 4handed to 550, Jesse Martin 3bets the button to 1500. Standard call.

I make 86543, which is massive. I value bet 3,200.

He thinks for 30 seconds, and raises to 13,000.

The first question is whether I beat any of his value range. Only 7 hands beat me (75432, 76432,76532,76542, 85432,86432,86542).The first hand I beat is 87432. I just don't think he raises it. But, I have to attach some small weighting to it, I'm definitely not sure.

So, is he bluffing? I have seen no sevens and deuces , so it possible he patted something like K7722, planning to Bluff? I would say me not seeing the sevens and deuces is just as significant the other way round,that it gives him more pat sevens.

He is a very capable player, but I think the event brings about factors that make him less likely to Bluff. He will really rate himself across the mixed games and has been picking limit, not big bet, games. He has had a slight DS start, and i don't think will want to lose 16.5 in a pot.

Far from sure but I fold. 50k

Scooped a beautiful stud pot.

I had (25)3633 three way going to river. Massive peel. Better to make low than house. King. Made neither. Checked round.

Surprisingly, two low draws and probably a flush draw have missed. Three sixes scoop

Nice start Stu. Out of interest what game(s) are you choosing on your button and what factors go into that decision at this stage of the tournament? A mix of your best game(s), perceived weak spots of opponents etc.

Post by: SuuPRlim on June 08, 2018, 02:46:14 AM
I would have thought stud based games were pretty bad ones to pick with way less advantage being on the button. I think your edge over the table at stud hilo (surely worst game to pick) would have to be monstrous to make it better than going for a draw game where just being in position over a player with similar skill level would give big edge.

No limit duece gotta be a grear pick i imagine?

Up to 74k, nice

Dino, I will almost always choose one of:

NLHE
Stud hilo regular (no qualifier)
Omaha hilo
Badeucey

Completely depending on how I perceive the table. When either you or another stack is very short, there are definitely games that favour, and go against, the short stack. A split pot game with antes is best for the shorties (so, stud8 and stud hilo regular), and I would say that limit holdem is the worst for a short stack, and so best picked if you are not short.

Of course if you are lucky enough to get really deep, you may want to choose games purely dependant on how much skill there is in them. For example, if I was heads up against Ivey, I'm picking limit holdem.

WP Stu!

I have a question for you if you have some time in the future, or perhaps someone else knows. You pick the game when you have the button? ie the place where you have positional advantage. Why would you ever pick a stud game where you now have no positional advantage? You should always pick a draw or flop game.

 I feel like I'm missing something, a detail or extra rule - what is it?

EDIT - I see this was also mentioned on the previous page!

Good question. I think not. Because they're sometimes saying "all spectators behind the rail." I think the most you can have is a "care dog," which Mercier had that time.

Tough badugi spot. Started Q73A badugi from CO. BB drew two, and then one. He check raised the turn. Puke. However my 30k stack at this point makes it a more possible inflexion bluff on my likely weak pat hand. I call, he thankfully breaks one and thankfully misses

Flop Tc 8c 3d. Big blind moves in a pot sized 20k.

I call. Really want Friedmann to fold, he calls. Think he will always trap, so this is sets, AT and flush draws.

Turn Tc 8c 3d Js. Check check raise.

River Tc 8c 3d Js  Aspades Check, he bets small 20k. Sigh. Must have it.

He has Ac Jc. I think he has to call on the turn of I make my big decision (whether to ship or check the turn) differently

Dinner break, 200k, 19 left

Was actually up to 310k. Lost two 27 TD pots.

The second one, Buchanan raises my BB at 3k-6k-12k. I call 7522x. We both draw two. I miss, i check, he bets, i call. I draw two, he draws one. I make 98752. I check, he bets, i check raise All 100% standard so far.

He 3bets. Not good news. Should be good pat. However, especially because it's him, it may be a break attempt, still drawing. I call, pat and am pleased to see him draw one. 124k pot I check, he bets.

Terrible news that he bets. I think he is sick enough to Bluff. Maybe its a fold. He has indeed hit it, a number 2, 76432.

Anyway, 2 off money, exciting spot

FYI Stu Alexy Makarov is LuckyGump from the old pokerstars days, Marco Johnson a high stakes mixed game cash game guy, I think he's generally considered one of the best players around in those games, pretty sure he used to stake JRB in the Ivey room games for a while...

Enjoying the updates thoroughly, all the best for today.

Your thread is a breath of fresh air on a poker forum. Detailed, concise and engaging.

I read your post about having the 7th nuts in a game and something about Patting, I don't have a clue about the particular game but still found it fascinating. 

Al the best sir for the remainder of vegas, you have had a good start here's to a great Vegas trip!

In draw games, you get to choose how many cards you want to change. If you don't want to change any, you can "stand pat", which you can either do because you're happy with your hand or because you want your opponents to think you're happy with your hand.

$10,000 Dealer's choice

Thanks so much guys. The messages really do make a difference.

Yesterday was intense. With 13 players and two and a half hours remaining, I predicted 9 or 10 would return. I was wrong; everybody did. Four handed in quick paced, changing games against three great players, I was determined to make no mistakes, but it felt that that was enough only to achieve parity. If there's one thing you don't want to happen in those circumstances in the desert, it's probably for the air conditioning to break.

But, if that's not the kind of day all of this is for, nothing is.

I'm 10/13. Hopefully another exhausting day is coming.

Ouch. It was me against Russian in a big badugi pot. He dealt a flop exposing the Queen of the spades, which was the third card. So that became the second burn. He then burnt twice on the second draw. Russian goes mad again. Russian makes badugi on the double changed deck

I'm completely ambivalent to the fact that the deck was changed. A mistake that changes the order of the cards is all just part of the randomness. If that is in the dealer's hands, then so is every shuffle of the deck, and everything else, so it makes no sense to pinpoint one moment.

Dinner break straight after, the Russian continues to complain. Probably a good thing for the dealer that he won the hand. Ironically, the second mistake, which further changed the order, was almost definitely the classic situation of an incredibly agitated player causing the dealer to make a second mistake

But the interesting thing is that it brings the problem that it is my pick, and so I lose an innocence level, in so far that it looks like it is coming with a plan!

Thanks so much guys. Going to bed. In these circumstances, the Rio becomes a very useful place to stay!

I don't think I've ever has as much fun in a tournament.

The Russian and I are still short. It will go on one hand, probably. It's my pick after two hands of BIG 0. I guess I'll sleep on it.

Bookkeeping: Missed today's $1,500 8game mix, and yesterday's $565 Omaha  (plus one re-entry): Total missed events: $10,130.

It's actually the 10k deuce to seven NL tomorrow. Will only think about it once all is done, but if it's OK, I might well play, depending.

Thorwn out ??

means like "thrown out the plaque" which indicates that he has made a final decision on the game choice. I think the argument came from the fact that he threw out, then changed his mind, then literally the second the dealer is about to deal he switched back again, which is annoying....but not sure I'd be that angry about it - notice our boy kept his cool and didn't get angry :)

$10000 dealers choice

Well, well, well.

Most importantly, the support means everything. I have quite literally done nothing but play poker and sleep since I got here last Friday, which means that it helps even more.

Well, it should be tough to get very lucky and have alot of fun for three and bit days, finish second and yet feel gutted. This is a poker forum, however, so I guess that's not news to anyone. I came nine days ago, dreaming not of money, but of the bracelet. I came close enough that it was placed next to me, and I walked away without it. I know I'll feel better soon.

I definitely ran bad heads up. Were it as complete and pure as that, I would feel no disappointment at all. Its ridiculous to feel down on your luck Heads up, when it has overall been very much on your side.

The only regrets would ever come if feel I should have done something differently. And I'm not sure. Maybe one stud hilo regular pot. But maybe that changes everything. Oh, to be able to go again, and limp rather than raise that QJ8 hand, against Adam's Queen of spades door card.

The other big decision was the game choice. I had thought about it alot the previous three days, but still one thing hadn't occured to me. I felt like I wanted to play Holdem against Adam, but not to push tiny edges shoving and reshoving. And then it occurred to me, the forgotten game, Pot limit holdem! It's the only pointless, unused game in a brilliant mix, but it made perfect sense Heads up.

We played two hands, but by the time it came back to my choice, something else was in the air. Adam had suggested that we both pick randomly every time. That suggestion was both alot of fun, and a very serious choice for me to get right. I felt he had an edge over me specifically in heads up Stud, but hadn't realised it yet. If I had an edge, it would be in Holdem, but it wasn't sizeable. I agreed to random picks.

Our random picks led to draw games, and I lost 4 unavoidable  hands. All good. I then doubled with the high only  Aspades Ad Kc Qd in PLO8, but half of my stack suffered an A5 vs AK limit holdem cooler, before I folded the turn. Stud hilo came next, and queens up won it for Adam, a fun and massively deserving winner.

The WSOP is wonderful in alot of ways, but not least that it always brings the next chance. We go again. Thanks so much guys.

The fun moments

An early bluff

I bluffed Adam in the early 27 NL hand. I drew two, he drew one, and I made a pair of fives. It's tough to bluff when you are two vs me, but I got the feeling that he may specifically bet small if he himself needed to bluff. So, I checked, planning to fold to a big bet, and check-raise bluff a small bet.

It's your choice, Sir

(Sorry I had created confusion with my 'thrown out' phrase!)

There had been history. Adam is a great guy, but a feisty character, who commentates his thoughts, on his own and other's poker. So, he had  expressed some dissatisfaction yesterday, with the Russian's speed of choice, and actual choice. When Makarov was short, his stress levels were not.

He deliberated for a while, and threw out a plaque. Stud hilo regular. He then went into a mini panic, grabbed it back and deliberated again. Cue Adam. Stress level high. I wasn't the slightest bit bothered, all part of the fun. The Russian throws a different plaque... No he doesn't, its the same one. Stud hilo regular. The dealer states the antes. Makarov panics again. He seizes them back. In my mind, this is both ridiculous, and doesn't matter at all. In Adam's mind, this is ridiculous and matters alot. Sparks fly. Makarov throws out PLO. Adam says 'ok, let's go.' But no, he takes them back again! With Adam in pieces, he soon throws out a 2-7 triple draw pot limit plaque. We play 2-7 pot limit triple draw. Makarov busts first hand.

Bruh, the dealer from New York

Poor Bruh the dealer. He's a good dealer. You can tell. It was Bruh who yesterday managed to make three mistakes in the same Badugi pot, which the Russian won against me. Whilst I am completely ambivalent to the fact that moments like that change the deck because its all part of the randomness, there was some irony in the fact that in a pot that Makarov won, the latter errors were almost definitively caused by his massive over reaction to the first. I think Bruh knew that his mistakes had changed it, and I wanted him to know that it really didn't matter; a butterfly flapping it's wings somewhere had changed everything too.

Bruh was back today, and you could tell had even more determination in his professional attitude. But, poor Bruh maybe was too determined, he fumbled my last card in 2-7 no limit. If you're a dealer, you always want a card that you fumble to be bad. Poor Bruh fumbled the deuce of spades. That should have been bad for me, but actually was the best news. I already had a deuce in my T632. My replacement card was a 7, to make a big hand. We got all in, and I doubled through Makarov. He deserves no anti-karma, he was alot of fun and did apologise yesterday. But I hope Bruh saw what had happened, and that it had all evened out in the end.

$10000 no limit deuce  

Took a while out, decided i felt good and entered the 10k deuce to seven.

So important to not measure it at all relative to the earlier events of the day, and instead remember that it is a big, great event.

Monnete has helped me by talking about the DC, so if everyone is now slightly more likely to assume I might play quick, there's even more reason to play steady

$10000 no limit deuce

An eventful start. Up to 65k but then a massive deuce cooler.

Good player raises UTG to 1200, I have the massive 86542 and 3bet to 4,200. He calls, I pat and he actually pats. I value bet 9k into 9,600 (standard).

He raises to 27,800. Hmmm. Its a call. I should beat enough of his value range to make it right to call given these odds, even if he can never bluff.

I call and he had the over whelmingly massive 76542. I think it will make the updates.

(The numbers.I have number 8. I am beaten by 75432, 76432, 76532, 76542, 85432, 86432,86532. He probably value raises 86543,87432 and 87542 at least, which makes it already enough to call)

$10000 no limit deuce

Hmm a more realistic tournament. 26k. Miss two 1vs1, and then make 96432 and it's a standard call vs Benyamines 5500 bet after drawing one, as I beat a good chunk of his value hands.

27k second break

$10000 no limit deuce

Sadly, a quick level five exit.

I don't think there was anything I can do. There is one possible spot, which I'll write out below. But apart from that, seemed to miss every 1vs1 (it was due, I guess) and then this was the exit hand:

Monnette raises CO to 2000 at 400-800(200). Galen Hall calls small blind. I have 18,300 and 94322. It's call or ship. The extra deuce helps. I think it's a ship, its so hard for them to call off of they are a one card draw. If either (by far most likely Monette) calls and is pat, I will have 16 for 33%0outs  most of the time. And it gets through tons.

Monette reships and does have a pat T7532. 16 outs. Sadly a queen. Still gutting to bust, even though obviously I can't complain today!

Marathon $2,620 no limit

Right, instead of the marathon no limit holdem, I had the marathon of all sleeps. Given that that left an option between a late entry, or a on-time entry t the stud hi-lo. it feels right to play stud.

Bookkeeping

Cashes: $181,258 $4,311 $14,912. Total $200,481

Missed events: $1,500 dealer's choice (plus one re-entry), $1,500 HORSE, $1,500 Big Blind Ante, $1,500 8-game mix, $1,500 2-7 NL re-entry, $565 PLO (plus one re-entry), $2,620 Maraton no limit holdem. Total $12,750

Extra event

I am going to add the $1,500 PLO on Thursday. I will send a message to all stakers, asking whether they would like to add it.

Right, stud hi-lo is what I was picking a fair bit in the DC. And now there is no choice. Let's go.

Same question if you were big stack.

Geo

Cheers Geo. I'll try not to give the answer that could fit any poker question, of 'it depends,' as there really are ao many factors. I would say in general

If fairly short I would veer towards no limit holdem. Easy to gain nice equity with standard shoves.

If very short - you want a split pot game (less chance to bust), a limit game, and you want antes (more likely to get yours chips in, and so more likely to benefit from the extra dead money. So what you want is specifically stud hilo. If you were very short, there could even be circumstances where splitting the pot would be enough to triple up.

If the big stack This will depend more on how you perceive the table, but clearly you want whatever game you can push your weight and ICM pressure around in. That very probably is No Limit holdem

The other factors are:

How you perceive your opponent's weaknesses (I didn't find many!)

Where is the button? If you are really short, you want games that have a button if you are out of the blinds, and games without if you are in the blinds!

1500 stud hi lo

Ouch, made a big fold fifth street. Was 'correct' but very close whether I've got odds to call or not. I had Qh Qs Kc 7d 2h vs Boujian's (xx) 3h 4d 4c, and third player's (xx) 2h Th 6s. Third player raised fifth (with a draw, 2h Th 6s 3h 8h, pretty inexplicable in a three way pot, given it gives me a good chance to fold and its not quite for value), and Ishmael at that point had two pair. Will run a calculation when I'm back at computer, but I guess it feels right to fold if it's at best tiny +EV, in a good tournament

1500 stud hi lo

Right, I'm going to blame the Rio WiFi as well as me, but realised sorry that yesterday's last update didn't go through.

After the initial rise, it was a steady dip sadly, which ended in level seven. Bust out hand, I was down to 800 at 200-400(100), meaning a win would triple me up, and so went with (44)6 against a K door in late position (In stud hilo, its necessary to open up your calling all in range when very short, because of the antes creating big pots).

Before that, I had had to fold alot of sixth streets, which is never a good or cheap thing! Don't think I would change anything

So, yes, I just felt that maybe Monette had inadvertently helped me by setting me an image that wasn't correct. He was talking about the heads up, and i think expected me to be a lot more disappointed than I was, so I felt it might set to the table that I might be playing splashy. It was of course a re entry as well (I was never re-entering)

Double up razz first hand of day. Come on

52k

I started (65)A, two limpers, i raise, Ohel reraises (xx) 68.

(I'm now very likely going to end all in)

4th is not good. I fall (65)AA, he makes (xx) 68. He almost definitely won't have paired the eight. I check, call.

5th brings me (65)AAJ and Ohel (xx) 68Q. My draw is better than his hand, so I'll be around 35%. He bets, I call, leaves 4k behind.

6th is me (65)AAJ8 against his (xx) 68QJ. We get it in.

He has (23)68QJ, as expected. He goes first, as if its a four or ace, I'm gone. It's luckily a six to pair, so i need to beat J8632 with my J865A (any 2,3,4,7,9, T). I make a three.

80k, really happy to be back in

215k.

Lovely and unusually interesting Limit holdem pot.

I raise Ah Ks from the HJ, Jesus three bets the button, Obst flats the small, I four bet. Both call.

Obst is almost surely capped to TT (JJ at a stretch) and AQ (AK at a stretch).

Flop Js 5d 4c. I decide now that I might be able just enough to barrel, if the hands are close to AQ and TT.

I bet, both call.

Turn Js 5d 4c 4s. I bet, both call. Barrel did not work.

River Js 5d 4c 4s Ad.

Obst leads. I just call.

I now think his hands in order of likely hood are AQ, AK, JJ. He mucks, it's a lovely pot, guess it was the AQ

why if he mucked would he have aq? hes first to show right?

Yeah, he didn't do anything for about 3secs, so i decided just to show. Fine for me to wait, but I took that as him saying that AK was good.

Definitely something slightly strange happened. You would think he would show AQ (he's definitely not a difficult character), but I can't see any worse hand that he call- calll-leads with. If its anything, it's 99 into a Bluff i guess, but it's just not.

Up to 320k. From 25,800, I think this qualifies as lucky.

Played three limit holdem hands in a quick succession.

Raise Aspades 9c button, Ohel three bets. Board runs out
 Aspades 8c 6c 4d Ad. He bets flop and check calls turn and river.

David Baker opens UTG, i three bet Ks Kd. He check calls every street on Qc 5c 4c Ts 4d. He has the absolute top of his range, i guess- the other two Kings. Ohel now says he had Kings the previous hand. Presumed true.


Baker raises button, I three bet Ah Qd, he calls. Board Kc 6s 5c, I bet, he calls. Turn Kc 6s 5c Jd. If I bet, its value rather than a barrel. I check, he checks.

River blanks Kc 6s 5c Jd 5d. I check, he bets. Hmm. I am almost sure he bets the turn if he needs to bluff. Fold

Interesting stud hi lo spot.

I have ( 7d 3c) Aspades Kh Kd Ks (2d), opponent has (xx) Qs 9s  4s Ts (x). I check, he bets. I have bet every street and we have both checked sixth.

All three options are there. I possibly should check raise Bluff. Its just not expected enough by most that I migh turn three Kings into a Bluff. But its still the case that people can believe you and put in a crying call. If not that, i of course need to consider that I am winning often enough to call.

I just about fold. Hmmmmm. Not sure

Its 16k to win 170k, but it seems so unlikely. If its anything, it's the A234 type hands. It veers towards a fold that I have hands like AKQ2 blocked. It just feels like if he wants to make a move, he is better to raise the flop, hoping for a high turn card.

Cash was for $15,229.

We missed the $1,500 triple draw - actually only missed it by a few mins!

So, our funny roller coaster day was from best memory.

26k start of day-60k-90k-120k-160k-200k-180k-240k-290k-320k-300k-360k-400k-350k-290k-220k-170k (now get very slightly nervous as surprisingly the third shortest stack) - 135k- (slightly more nervous) - bubble bursts-90k-70k-50k-35k-17k (slightly desperate!) - 35k-70k-110k-170k (wow, that was the exciting run) - 100k-60k-21k-21k (get it in and chop, real cock roach stuff now) - 40k-17k.


Final hand

I was putting it in light given 17k dead money and the chance to treble up should I succeed in getting Heads up, but im stud 8 found (2c Js) Jc, and the bring in put the rest off. He had (35)7 and caught all low cards. Never good news, he ended with (35)75832 for low and two pair, and our pair of Jacks remained a pair of Jacks.

A ton of fun and actually a really nice, relaxed bunch of players.

$1,500 Pot Limit Omaha

No good, sadly. Had the pleasure of seeing Doobs, George and Tikay, and that was where the luck ended..

 
I don't think I would change anything. The three signifcant hands..

Raise  Aspades Ad 6h 5c cutoff to 525 at 100-200.Both blinds defend. Flop Ks Qd Jc.

SB leads for 700, BB all in for 3,100. I fold. SB also folds.

Raise  Aspades Ks Qh Jh UGT1 to 525 at 100-200, Button 3bets to 1,400. I call.

Flop 4h 3d 2c. I check, he says 'pot," I fold.

Down to 5,600 at 150-300. Button raises to 800, SB calls, I have  Ks Kh 7s 6d, decide to go with it and pot, button very confidently re-pots, which is a shame. And does have Ad Ac 9d 3c
Board comes an emaphatic  Ac 2h 2d. It then comes Kc on the turn, but there are no miracles.


So.... Now there is a 6pm $5,000 Satelitte to the $50k PPC and a 3pm $1,500 Stud hi-lo. I'm going to register the satelitte, and play the Stud if free

Flop 6h 4h 4c. I bet 2,100 into 3,600. He calls, fairly quickly.

Turn 6h 4h 4c Kh. I check, he bets 4,500 into 7,800. This is getting deep. Will go into my reasons later, but I'm pretty sure I'm calling, then check-folding.

I call, Eli check tanks the river behind.

I did find a big one, (Aspades Qc) Ac, with all cards live. I compete to 600 from 4,900. And a Kh calls. I bet 4th and 5th, making a nice (Aspades Qc) Ac Jd Th and (xx) Kh 7d 4c.

Sixth is not good. I catch (A spades Qc) Ac Jd Th 5c and he makes (xx) Kh 7d 4c Ks. It even kills another out for our straight.

He bets 1,200, I have 1,900 total.

I can't fold fifth given its 1,900 total to win 10,700. The question is whether I can fold for my last 700 if unimproved on 7th, given that he surely won't bet one pair of Kings. I call, and do indeed catch two pair with a Jh. He bets, I call, and he had indeed made trip Kings on 6th.

The numbers so far

A quick catch up, on the first (and hopefully only!) day off.

Cashes so far- $14,912, $4,311, $181,258, $15,229


Total cashes- $215,710


Missed events- $17,250


Added events played so far $5,000 satellite to the PPC.


Total missed minus added events $12,250


I will now add all four $10k events that were originally "maybes." So, total guaranteed minimum value of package is $215,710 + $12,250 - $40,000 = $187,960

Guaranteed minimum profit is therefore $187,960- $113,750 = $74,210

Any stakers who would like an inital "so far" payment, do let me know and I'll send an appropriate round number to UK bank account.

Today's event: day off

I would normally be kicking and screaming to have a day off from the WSOP, but leaving today as the potential one was a no brainer as the choice, as Gem arrived today.

That last 13 days has been full immersion, and I've loved that; any feeling of weariness is only short-lived, and replaced by the next event to look forward to. So, a day off, if nothing else, is useful in upping the excitment level in what is to come. Still, so many events in different forms of the game, with tomorrow mix of three Omaha hi-lo games being the classic example.

The WSOP gets me as soon as you walk down the Rio corridoors towards it. Now, there are more and more Brits arriving into town, and it's really easy to piggyback onto their enthusiasm.

If luck was "fair," I would get the opposite end of the deck to the lucky end that I have so far received. Thankfully, however, luck has no memory, and the experiences thus far have only increased my excitement at the chance to go deep again.

They're all fun, but this stands out as one of the most fun.

The mix is 4card pot limit, then the 4 card limit, then 5card pot limit (Big O).

Will try to give some key principles and random thoughts on as we go, Iets see how many we can get to.

Principle 1

Maybe the most common mistake will be people overvaluing hands in the 5card Big O, partly aided by the comparison of the 4card pot limit game.

Compare the two hands Ac Ks 5d 2c in 4card, and
Ac Ks 9h 5d 2c in 5 card. The the difference is bigger than it seems. In five card there are 5 different ways you can be dealt the four card hand of AK52 one suit (all but the 1st card, all but the 2nd, etc). So if getting that combo is five times more likely, it's made further weak by the fact that its not only a nine that is added, but a nine that doesn't create a second suit. And so that it is 5card Ac Ks 9h 5d 2c, whilst still probably playable, is not quite what it seems.

First level is small, but got 6,900 after half an hour

5,200.

5card PLO. Got counterfeited on the river.

Two limps at 25-50, I raise pot to 275 with Ahrt Aspades Ts 7c 2h. Both blinds and limpers call, five way. Pot 1375.

Flop Jh 6s 3c. Four checks. Just low draw, chance of blasting off four is too small. I check.

Turn Jh 6s 3c 5h. Nut low, nut flush draw. Big blind bets a small 600 into 1375, and first limper calls. I could now definitely raise the pot, and obviously be prepared to go with my hand all in. I will have 7 outs for definite high, 2 outs (board pairing heart) for possible high, and three other outs for probable split (non heart 4s for wheel). 6 cards will counterfeit my low (with slightly less weighting, given aces are more likely out)

Its very close, and so I decide on a variance reducing call.

River is Jh 6s 3c 5h 2c. Nasty. I still play a live ace for low, but the limper bets pot. It could be a nice move with just a straight (and me having the better low), but it's A4 to scoop me enough of the time, that I have to fold.

Which is good timing (if we assume it's a heads up pot) for.

Principle 2

On a heads up river, if you have a hand that is potentially good one way and face a pot sized bet, you must have at least  2/3rds of a chance of being good to make it at least break even to call. Because you will either lose a pot bet, or or gain half of the pot in the middle, the odds are 1 to 2 on, hence needing to be 2/3rds sure.

Not great, 4,900

Principle 3

In the pot limit games, it's fine to limp EP and MP with playable hands.

Steal equity is limited, and with hand equities running close, it is often better to keep a big stack to pot ratio to try to make a good judgement on the flop.

Coolered for a quarter.

A min raise to 200 UTG, I have Ahrt Ad 7c 5d 3h and make it 600. The button cold calls, and the original raiser calls.

Flop 5c 4d 2s (nut low, second nut high)

Check, I check, button bets 700. Raiser calls, I call.

Turn 5c 4d 2s 7d. Near perfect card. (two pair, a straight, nut flush draw, nut low)

Original raiser pots for 4200. I under call for 4,025 all in. Button folds

The original raiser does have the lot- AT963 for the flopped 6-high straight.

The river is for half the pot, and I need a spade, 7 or 5 to win the high half, and 6 to split it.

No good, it's 8c.

Down to 3,100.

Have now re-entered.

The exit hand was a shame. Two limpers to my button at 75-150, I have   Aspades Qc Jc 7h 4h and raise pot to 825. The big blind and two limpers come along.

Flop 6h 3h 2c (nut low, gutshot to seven high straight)

Big blind leads 1,400, first limper all in for 3,600.

I am obviously going with it, but a potentially big decision is whether to call to induce the big blind to come, or to move in to try to isolate. My analysis :

If the all in player shares A4 and the big blind doesnt have hearts, I want him in.

If the all in player shared A4 and the big blind does have hearts, and i want him out.

If neither player shares A4, I want the big blind in, to get more on my (near) lock half.

I decided my EV against ranges was just slightly better with the BB in rather than out, and so just called.

It probably made the difference. He thought for ages, but and just about went with it. It shouldnt make any difference to him whether I call or move in myself, as I'm obviously commited, but it felt like it did.

He had Ac Kh 8d 5d 5c, so did indeed have my hearts blocked. But there seemed to be better news:the limper had no A4 to share my nut low, but a fairly inexplicable AJJT2.

So I was in very good shape for low, with a gutshot sniff of high.

Sadly the turn brought a 4 to kill my low, and the board ran out 63244, for the big blind to scoop it all.

As the cards did lie (which is of course a nonsense way to look at the hand) I would have got three quarters of it had I got the big blind out

Nice one. Raise  Ahrt Qh Th 2c 2d to 525 from cut off, hi Jack calls.

Flop Aspades 9s 2c (set, no low). I bet 750, he calls

Turn Aspades 9s 2c 9d (nice). I have 5,100 and decide to bet 2,600. Feels like alot he has either an ace and a good low draw, or an ace, spades and a poor low draw. In both cases, if he calls enough on the turn, he may sigh call off on a blank river with just AJ, etc

River is instead of a Aspades 9s 2c 9d 9h (counterfeits me). Probably not as bad as it seems. Given he has at least two of an ace, a low draw and spades, it's definitely more difficult for him to have a pair.

He puts me in for my last 2,500. I mean, it's not pretty but it's a bluff more than enough, that I have to call. He does indeed have AT653 with spades.

Lost a big one

Raised  Ahrt 9c 6d 3s 2s to 1k, loose player calls, short stack moves all in for 2600.

Big decision whether to isolate. The caller has 10,400 behind. If I had AKQ32, it's obviously an easy isolate. This feels like a call with a multi way hand.

Flop is  Ac Jh 3s (top and bottom pair, 26 could well be good for low draw)

Easy all in vs the player with chips.

He has T5432 (pair, better low draw, 9 card wrap)

Short stack has AAQxx but the side pot is now much bigger.

So I get it in in fairly good shape for the side pot, but it comes AJ356, so to give him the wheel.

Down to 12k. Then get it in with the A532 vs AJ42 on K53. Pretty good shape, fading 2 aces, 2 twos, 3 fours and 4 sixes, to take three quarters . But it comes K5346 to chop it.

First hand, Big 0, raise from HJ to 1, 500 at 500bb, I have  Aspades Qh Tc Td 2s. It definitely is more than strong enough for a re-pot, but it's nice to flat and try to flop really strong.

I call, all fold.

Flop Kh Qc 7h, he checks. Its normally a check behind, but his check feels weak enough that I think about betting. But I check

Turn Kh Qc 7h 3d. He checks, I bet 1,200 into 3,700. He calls.

River Kh Qc 7h 3d 2d. Ouch, two pair no low.

He leads 4,500 into 7,300. It just feels like low, its tough for it to be a strong high instead, or as well.

I call, and he has A8532 (smaller two pair, second nut low). Chop, chop.

Hmm its a shame. If I do repot, I maybe he calls and folds to my flop shove.

12,600, table looks good apart from Chidwick, but he is short

Had  Ahrt Qh 9c 8d 3c as three way small blind limp.

Flop Aspades Ks Qd. Checked round four way.

Turn Aspades Ks Qd 8c. I bet 5,200 into 16,400, Ishravelli calls.

River Aspades Ks Qd 8c 7s. I check, he instantly says pot.

I feel he makes a mistake by instantly saying pot. It feels like the classic move with nuts on one side, and nothing on the other.

Really close decision in PLo8, folded  Aspades Qc 5c 3c as an all-in call with a raise and a pot 3bet before me.

Then, down to 8,500, CO in limit 08, I am dealt Aspades Ks 8c 2d at 2k-4k, and put it in with a MP raise before me. Small blind made it three bets, and so I had a three way all-in.

Board came back Qs Qc 3d Qh Jd. Not good, i play AK high. But the six checks offered some kind of hope, and indeed it was good.

$1,500 mixed Omaha hi-lo

OUT

Down to 34k. Dealt  Ahrt  Kh 7s 2s at 5kbb, UTG+1 and I raised. I was just thinking how tight the table had been, when the quiet guy to my left 3bet to 15k. Not great news, but obviously I have a strong hand, and may well be able to go with it on many boards. I call.


Flop is Qs 7c 5c. With 19k (bets are 5k flop, 10k turn and 10k river), I'm now always basically going with it, and so lead. He just calls, which seems like great news.

Turn is Qs 7c 5c Ac. Not great news. It brings in the flush, counterfeits my low. But does give me two pair, and my live deuce may become significant. Card removal and his flat call on the flop make it now quite unlikely that he has the AA that I feared pre-flop. With just 14k, I may as well bet it myself, to prevent him checking behind a hand like AK82. I bet, he raises the strong  Aspades Qs 2h 3h (top two pair, nut low). I've no idea at all why he didn't raise the flop with top pair and nut low draw.

I can only get half with a 7 or K, or a quarter with a 3, and in fact he makes a wheel.

A lot of fun, 56th for $3,256

Missed the $1,000 double stack.

Bizarre hand.

Rec limps with Qs, Eli limps 8s, I am bring in with (2h 6h) 3h. I catch up with (2h 6h) 3h 3c, they both catch spades. I double bet, they both call. Fifth I catch (2h 6h) 3h 3c  Ahrt for a lovely hand. They both catch spades. I bet, rec. calls, and Eli folds. This confirms two non - spades in Eli's hand. Sixth we both blank and it goes check-check. He must now have started something like Qs Js 9h, and have a flush draw. Seventh I miss everything and check. He bets. This is a bluff way more than enough, that I have to call...

My hand goes towards my stack, and he begins to pick up his cards. Pause. Well, i think this is enough to help me fold. He now triumphantly says 'I missed' and shows his hand.... A missed flush draw with a pair of sixes. Bizarre. Not sure whether he intended that as a Bluff or not. Glad I folded, I guess two wrongs make a right.

Some brutal hands.

Make aces up on 4th, I get check raised by a 2c 7s board. It's two pair or trips, more likely two pair. I catch a 7 on the next two streets as he blanks off, which is good news, as 5th makes trip sevens a third as likely, and sixth obviously impossible.

I lead on 7th, he calls. I say 'two pair'

He says 'which two?'

Ah, good news, my hand must be good. No, he slowly rolls over rolled up deuces.

OUT

Nasty one. I start (3d Kh) Ks, raise and a Qc and Porter with the 6s in the bring in call.

Porter has exactly 2 bets remaining, which may well allow me a move on 4th, which we all brick. He checks, i bet 2.5k, Qc calls, Porter all in for 5k. I can now 3bet. Qc has caught a 7 with two sevens dead, and looks like he just knows he shouldn't call. He does anyway, has TTQ7 and catches and a T on 5th. I have 10k, I bet and he raises me all in.

Dead to two outs, and miss.

The $1,500 shootout was 11am this morning. I felt it right to sleep as much as I needed, and see if that allowed me to get there for the 11am start- necessary in shootouts, as you are blinded away for any time you miss.

My body did indeed request a long sleep, and so instead, I will play refreshed the 3pm Big Bet Mix.

A new event last year, it's a sick one- the games are NLHE, PLO, PLO8, no limit single draw, no limit 5card draw, and the salty one that plays a lot higher than any other- pot limit triple draw.

How long before we get a WSOP event of Dealers' Choice Plus, where the player can call out the rules of the game?

"Yeah, we will be playing Lebanese Triple Stud with deuces and queens wild, half kill, with a board of three community cards that can be used at any time for the low only...and the first person to slap the table on seeing those cards add up to a prime number gets half of everyone else's stack."

$2500 Big bet mix

Two interesting ones, one nice, one nasty.

Pot limit Omaha hilo

UTG (the tournament is six handed) opens to 300 at 100bb, I have the beautiful  Ahrt Ac 3h 2d on the button and 3bet deliberately slightly small to 800

Flop a beautiful Aspades Js 6h. (nut high, nut low draw)

He check - calls my 1k bet.

Turn not good, it brings a deuce to counterfeit my low draw.

Aspades Js 6h 2c.

He checks. I now could check in case he is going to check raise all in with a strong low and some level of freeroll (although I will have some small counter freeroll if his low counterfeits). I could bet for value against a worse high (top two, but JJJ, 666) with a similar or worse low situation. Or I could check to effectively trap, and go for value on the river. This obviously always allows some level of free card, and in general the best plan in pot limit Omaha hilo is to bomb if its safe, given the free cards that are dangerous all over the place. I also of course may be able to Bluff off a low like 47.

I bet 3k and he folds fairly quickly

No limit five card draw

I am dealt the strong and interesting  Aspades Ahrt 8h 6h 2h UTG and raise to 300. Two calls and the BB makes it 1,650. I call, button calls.

Big blind draws one. Logically, drawing one is either two pair or a flush draw. After a three bet, it should be two pair. I have the decision whether to draw to aces up/trips, which I will hit about 28% of the time, or a flush, which I will hit 18% of the time. The button player actually makes the mistake of having his one card draw ready, which helps. This makes it seem that he is drawing to a flush, and therfore I have implied odds in my favour if I make an ace high flush, and reversed implied odds against me if I make two pair.

I draw to a flush and miss, and the big blind three bettor bets out 5k (interesting)

Exactly starting stack at first break , 12.5k

Good news/bad news

Good news - table overall was really nice, apart from Deeb
Bad news - Deeb was on my direct left
Good news - after a fairly uneventful six levels, won a big pot in Big O
Bad news - table move
Bad news - Deeb comes with me
Good news - we get switched position, I'm on his right

Wow, monster run. 57k

No limit single draw

A new player sits down, I am dealt the monster with 86432, and we get it in. He breaks something (most likely a Ten) and draws to 7432. Only a 5 or 6 is good, and he misses

Pot limit Omaha hilo

I am dealt Aspades Jc 9h 2d, defend the blind three way, and bet three streets on Js 7c 3h 6s 6h. Top pair and nut low is enough to scoop

Spirit of poker is alive. The French guy is very partially sighted and is using a big magnifying glass to see his cards every time. The player on his right is helping by calling the board cards every hand.

OUT.

Pot Limit Omaha hi-lo

Massive pot. I am playing 56k, and have  Ahrt Aspades Kc 7h and raise to 2,700 five-handed at 500-1000 (200). Deeb makes it 9,500 on the button. I pot raise to 30,000. He calls. It leaves 26k into a 61,200 pot.

Flop is  7s 3c 3h. I pot. All of my actions are pretty standard. As I pot, I just think "please don't snap my head off."

He snaps my head off.

He has  Ac Qs 5h 3d, for trips. I have 3 outs and backdoor hearts. Board runs out 7338Q

115k pot, really gutted. It's always a messy spot with Aces and a poor low in this game, but can never be wrong to get it in. When my pot raise leaves less than half a pot-sized bet, it's rare we won't get it in on the flop. Was obviously just praying for the T99/K88 type flop, and indeed 733 rainbow doesn't look too bad (he will have A2 and very little high value alot of the time). That is, until he snaps me off.

I could just flat his raise to 9,500, but I then face awkward decisions out of position, with an awkwardly big stack to pot ratio. Although I only have a thin equity edge against the AQ52/AQ53 types he is likely to have, it's right to get it in. If he does choose to fold pre, I increase my stack by 25%.

His play? It is by no means awful, not at all. I personally don't like it overall. When it leaves 26k into 61k, there aren't many flops where he doesn't call the rest off, so it's not at all far from an all-in pre. And AQ53 is just a little too light.

Ouch, would have been a lovely spot had I scooped. Gutted at the moment, just because of the emphatic nature of it, but will be OK very soon.

Next up: $10k triple draw tomorrow.

unlucky Stuart.   4 bet and shove look very standard to me.   Just unfortunate you catch a bad flop for you and gin for him.  Flop looks terrible, but you are rarely in this much trouble.  His 3 bet would maybe be ok if double suited.   Rainbow looks a bit wild.

Thanks so much for the support guys, it means alot.

There is a small possiblity I might fire a couple of my own bullets at the $365 Giant or $888 tournament, on my own money. I will notify if I do, but these will be the only events that will be outside of the stake.

$10000 triple draw

Exciting tournament today. Great game, six handed.

Table interstsing, Selbst and Kessler.

Interesting first hand.

CO opens, Selbst three bets button, I four bet from BB with 8542x. Both call.

Draws are 1-2-1 (me, CO, Selbst). I catch 98542. That is interesting and close as to whether to break or pat, but I feel its a break three way.

Selbst bets, we both call. Draws are 1-1-PAT.

I whiff, both call. 1-1-PAT

I make 86542. Nice. Probably good vs Selbst about 70%. I bet.

Selbst insta folds. Which is interesting. And impressive, given she is getting 8.5-1. Her thinking is right;although the odds are good, it's a very unlikely spot for me to bluff, even without the threat of the extra player.

But the big thing is, especially with it being an insta fold, that it will have implications later on. The obvious one would be that in the next similar spot, a call is coming, but obviously then poker's double/triple bluff element comes in.

$10000 triple draw

Interesting one.

Raise 742xx CO, BB three bets. I call, draw two. He bets, i call and catch 7542. He pats, I draw one. He bets (all standard so far)...

I catch 87542. This is a fairly text book 'freeze' spot. Normally you raise with any hand that you will go pat with, but to 'freeze' is to flat call, with the intention of not warning them to break. He is likely enough to have worse 87s and 9 s,and there is just no reason for him to break them now.

He pats, I pat. His check is very good news, and now I have the decision whether to value bet or not. I do, given I have the nut 87. He calls, I say '87,' he says 'which 87?'. That is obviously great news, and I win it.

Won two since, up to 75k

First hand was the big one. Made 85432 in already big pot on river. Bet into Bonyani, he raised. I 100% have to call- he in theory should raise 86432 and 86532. Even though I suspect that he may well not, the small chance is way above the required to call. I call and he has 76432.

Second pot, short stack all in from button, i raise to isolate with 732 from BB, and he wins the 2vs2 encounter.

Third pot, another big three way pot, I miss the lot, make 97532 on the end for some vague hope, but he had the 87632

Thanks so much cetlic. At one point in time, Eddie Eames started called everyone by alliterative names. I always thought that Charlie Channing was the one that fitted best

Uncle Ronnie Rutter!

Well, the great thing about the World Series is that it is never too long til the next one, and the great thing about the mixed games is that it always brings up something different.

This is a really cool mix, half stud hilo and half Omaha hilo, and should be a more varied field than the 10ks.

First pot, I defend 9h 4h 3c 2d in Omaha hilo, flop is a nice man Kh 2d 2c, I lead the flop and the Kh 2d 2c Js turn, called both times.

River is Kh 2d 2c Js Ks, which doesn't look nice at all. I check, planning to fold to a bet, but he thankfully checks, and so is likely to have had aces or Queens.

Stud hilo

I start 999. A funny hand in stud8 as a 9 door is almost always useless. I complete and get 2bet by a K door. There is a king dead for extra comfort. I call; he will fairly comfortably think that I have just a pair of nines, and I can trap, with the key factor being that he will likely lead the action with the high board down the streets. I can get my raise in when it is best to.

He leads 4th as he catches (xx) KJ and I catch nothing (xx) 93. Fifth he bricks and I catch (99)933 for a house. I lead, as he now will likely check behind if I check. Mysteriously, he folds. He will surely think my hand is nines and threes, so it's strange to fold a pair of Kings. Possibly he didn't start with Kings.

It's strange, as catching a low pair on board like that is exactly the circumstance where it should pay to slow play on 3rd (because will now think I have nines up)

Hmm, never mind.

Well, that was a shame. The four hands were:

Stud hilo

Complete (35)A, a 7 calls, get two bets in when I catch (35)A4 on 4th, but I catch (35)A4QKT. I call down AK high vs (xx)754J, as it may well be good if he is low, but he has a 7high straight

I complete (TT)3 on low board, we go four way to 4th, and then 2way to 5th vs (xx)762. I call all the way, making tens up, but he has actually started with buried queens, and makes queens up on the river.

I call from the bring in with (26)8, catch a three suited king on 4th, and fold a jack on 5th.

Omaha hilo

I go all in for 3,200 with  Ac Ks 6s 2d,there is three way action, but the board is an unhelpful 8s 7s 9d Qd Qc, and my fate is sealed when one player bets the end.

Shame, a fun tournament.

Just two significant hands.

We are ten handed (!), UTG opens to 800 at 150-300(50), I have Aspades Kh and flat MP. Flop 8h 7s 4s. He checks, I bet 700, hoping he will Bluff AQ river after turn checks.

He calls, turn is checked, board is 8h 7s 4s 2d Ts. He bets 1,800 river, I call, he has Qs Jd. Up to 19k (starting stack is 15k)

I open Js Jd UTG to 700, same player flats button. Flop is 8s 7c 4s. I bet 800, he calls quickly.

Turn is 8s 7c 4s Tc. I bet 2,200, he calls quickly.

River is 8s 7c 4s Tc 6s. Ouch. I check, he snap moves all in for 8k into 8,150. He looks comfortable. Feels like an easy fold.

15,500 towards end of level six

SB limps at 600bb, I make it 1500 More with Ts 7c. He calls and check folds Tc 6c 3s flop.

Next hand, he raises button to 1500 from 19k. I three bet queens to 4,400 from SB. It feels like he was close to something but he folds

Flop Qh 4h 2c. He bets 2500, I call. I call relatively quickly, to get him to over protect against a flush draw.

Turn is Qh 4h 2c 4s. He does indeed shove, and has Ks Qd and the river is safe

Very first hand, I have Qh Qs hijack and raise to 2,200 at 500-1000(100). Button makes it 8k. Feels so strong. Big blind thinks for ever and flats. Both have me covered. There is 19,500 to take if I do move in and they fold,but to be honest, was never going to, it just felt very strong from the button.

I call. Flop Jh 9d 6h. Checked to button, he bets 22k. We both fold. Button shows  Ahrt Kh. Big blind says he folded kings, which seems genuine.

I call down (standard) on Qd 7d 2d 5c 4c.

That was a shame. The limits in non-split pot games are the same as the split pot games, which always makes them play big. So the AQ< 22 was a bit of a killer.

Down to 6,600, it went in on the button with 5s 5c, but three-way was not good news.

Flop was Th 9s 6c, and Tc 9c emerged and held.

Damn. Really easy and steady all day (apart from a bit of a banter I had with Phil), and then lost almost of it Vs Bryce Jockey. We're going back with 6,800.

So, up to 45k. Bryce (he won the 10k last year), I flat button with  Aspades Ts 9c 2c. He checks the

Qs Jc 3c, and I bet 4,200 into 10,000. He calls and I bet 8,500 with the straight on Qs Jc 3c 8d. He calls.

The river is a nasty Qs Jc 3c 8d Qd. I have 20k left into 27,000. I decide to bet 14,200 of my 21,200

He thinks and goes all in. Massive ouch. I think for a long time, but actually am really disappointed, not by a call of the clock,but the floor's rubbish use of it (I never want time at all, but want it against a really good player like him)

They call clock and I fold. He was kind enough to tell me in the box queue after that he had it (99% true I guess)

Midday tomorrow. Feeling hurt.

(Significant dead cards are 8,5,5)

I catch A45T5T til 6th and he makes xx4J82. Given he four bet pre, he will not have paired the 8, but may well have paired the 2.

I make the Ten on the river, A45T5T6. He bets. Which is terrible news. But given the likelihood of him pairing his 2, I decide to call. And he has indeed bluffed a Jack

I raise (96)5 on a picture heavy board, Bart Hanson defends his (xx)K bring in. The boards come my (96)5T48(7) Vs his (xx)K633. By his calls, he absolutely cannot have paired his 6 or 3.

I check the river. This is absolutely standard razz spot, where he just will either have got there or not. So, completely standard for me to check, and then I decide...

I actually decide to fold. I played with him for a few hours in the mixed O8, and he was very very steady. Despite the big pot odds I am getting,most players will just give up if they miss, as it looks so much like I'm going to call. Obviously it gives me a slight meta image problem, but that can work both ways round, they'll expect me to call next time

The numbers so far

I've decided to refund half ($750) of the $1,500 Omaha hi-lo entry. The two-orbit penalty (one hour round is misreported, it was two orbits across the dinner break) cost 1,800 of the 7,500 starting stack. I do feel the floor instantly pandered to Helmuth- he was still biting at me as much as me at him- but obviously it was foolish to give myself the chance of the penalty.

So, the numbers:


Cashes- $221,506
Missed events- $27,000
Penalty refund- $750

Extra events $55,000, the four potential 10ks were added. The 10k limit holdem was added as new, as was the $5k satellite to the $50k

Total is therefore $221,506+$27,000+$750-$55,000, so


Total- $194,256

Total guaranteed profit is on the $113,750 original investment, and so is $80,506

$1000 turbo bounty hunter

What a great day this is on the schedule. The $10,000 pot limit Omaha is possibly the tournament I am most looking forward to before the Main Event, but before that, there is still time for a good one. It's a twenty minute level bounty hunter. Three line whip on being there from the start. I think a number of people can definitely overplay the bounty element, and also over adjust to a turbo in the brief early levels where play is still deep, so we may well be playing pretty steady, depending on the table.

PLO8 later (and I think the turbo will be quick enough that the dream will be to cash it and still get in from the start) is such a fun game, and one that is fairly rarely played the rest of the year.

Definitely made the mistake last year of playing 1A. Although even if it was in theory the wrong choice, we ran very bad with an insane table all day- Firaldo, Ho, Weisner, Barbero, Akari.

So, after consultation, the general opinion is definitely for 1C, Which I would recommend to anyone else who is considering the choice.

Wonderful scenes in the seat to my right. A very well dressed (the first sign he doesn't know how poker works!), very polite (the second?)  has sat down, and it would seem has never played before.

The table is being great by realising exactly what is going on, and helping him out each time (always so ridiculous when a novice player makes people angry). We have had so far:

A call by him on the button when the action was under the gun

He faces a 200 bet, and makes a blackjack "no more cards" sign

He says ' I think I prefer bacarrat'

Got some back. 5,200 at 75-150(25).

I have  Aspades 9s in BB. SB raises to 350, I call.

Flop is 7c 4d 2h. He bets 350, I call.

Turn is 7c 4d 2h Ts. Check, check.

River is 7c 4d 2h Ts 3s. He checks.

I definitely think about turning my hand into a bluff. It's worth something that I cannot now have a missed open-ender or gutshot. But a SB opening range does not have the main hands I want to bluff (AJ, AQ, AK) enough of the time to make it worthwhile.

I check and he says 'jack high'

The next hand, he raises to 350 from the button, I have Ks 8s and three bet to 925. He folds

I am CO and have  Ahrt  Aspades Kh 9c, MP raises to 400.

Obviously a good hand, but always tough to play aces with no low potential. I 3bet to 1,300. Button cold calls, original raiser calls.

Flop 7h 5h 4c (pair of aces, nut flush draw, no low)

A close one. Definitely would not be a bet without the flush draw. May well be a bet with the flush draw.

I just about check. Checked round

Nasty quartering. Kessler limps, I raise CO to 700 with

 Ahrt 6h 3c 2d. Button calls, Negreanu calls BB, Kessler calls.

Flop 4c 5c 8d. (A monster, nut low, counterfeit protection, 16 outs to a straight). I bet 1500, button and Negreanu call.

Turn 4c 5c 8d 2c (nut low and 6high straight)

Daniel leads 5,600 into 9,000. I call, button calls.

River 4c 5c 8d 2c 9h. Daniel leads pot, 25,800. I call, button calls.

Daniel has the nut flush,  Ac Jc 7d 5d. Sadly the other player has AQ63. I get quartered.

Hmm it's interesting. I don't think I can fold. River I definitely can't, as even if I am getting quartered three way, I get exactly my call back, and so break even. It's the turn that is close. But with only one player behind me, it's not likely enough that either he has A3, or that Daniel has A3 and a better high. In fact, there is some possibility that Daniel just has A3 and it is me who is getting three quarters of the pot.

What is interesting is that the button player probably shouldn't call the turn. When he faces Daniels bet and my call, he is looking at a far more likely quartering spot than I was with my call. And the interesting thing about that is that it is unique to this game that his potentially wrong call loses just as much for me as it does for him (and obviously gains Daniel alot).

Negreanu opens to 1k, I make it 3,300 with  Aspades Ahrt 9h 8d, he calls.

He checks, I bet 4,500 into 7,200. He check raises pot (20,700). Easy fold

Nearly got one through.

4,200 in the middle, I have  Ahrt Jh 9c 3h after a check-check flop on a turn off

Ts 7s 6h 2h (a great turn, nut low and flush draw)

I bet 3,200, he calls.

River is Ts 7s 6h 2h 9c

He checks, I bet 11,500.

It's a nice merge. It is mostly aimed to get him off an inferior low and slightly better high hand, but there is a small chance he will have A3 and a lesser high.

He thinks for ages, and must have been close to folding, but does call with  Ac 7d 5h 2s (4th nut low, two pair)

Split pot. 48k

Got a fold from Kessler that I needed.

Negreanu raised CO to 1,500, Kessler called button, I called in BB with Ks Kc 6c 2h.

Flop Qc 9c 4s.

I lead 3,200. Negreanu folds, Kessler calls.

Turn Qc 9c 4s Js

Important that I have two blockers to the nuts. I may get him to fold nut flush draw with a hand like A542, and I definitely might get him to fold AQJ2 .

Just one potential regret today. At 200/400, raided to 900 with Kh Ks 4h 2s , Negreanu called BB.

Flop was  Ahrt 5c 3d, for the joint (nut high, nut low)

He check-called my 1,600 bet.

Turn was Ahrt 5c 3d 5d.

The standard decision would be to just go for three streets of value. But I decided to play it different. By checking, there is a very good chance he will Bluff with a low on the river. That is what happened, and I repotted to a big 23k. It nearly worked- he started saying that he thought I was bluffing with a high, but eventually found a good fold.

Maybe I should just value bet three streets. On the paired five, there will be enough highs that are a chop, that I need to focus my value on the times he has a low.

Anyway- 36k, 20 mins to go

Schulman raises to 4k, I have  Ac 9c 3c 2d CO and make the slightly strange (but imo correct) decision to just flat.

Flop is 8h 6h 6c (nut low draw with double counterfeit protection, almost no high value)

He bets Enough to put me in. I run the numbers- any A, 2,3,4,5,7 makes me low, so there are 21 cards in a 45 card deck. It makes me about 70% to make low, which gives me about 33% equity on the low side (a small amount taken off given I could get quartered if he shares my nut low). With an ace, backdoor straight and flush draw, I must have enough high equity to have the 36% overall equity I need to go with it. I move in, he calls.

He has AA98.

Turn is 8h 6h 6c Kc (now I scoop with a club or chop with a low card)

River is 8h 6h 6c Kc 5d

Split pot. 24k

$10000 pot limit Omaha Hilo

I have Ac 6s 4h 3c and decide to limp cut off from 19k. Button and Schulman in the big blind come along.

Flop is Qs 5s 2c (nut low draw with complete protection, 12 outs to a straight, back door flush draw)

It's the monster flop we wanted.

We have 17k into 7k. The standard would be just to pot, and go with the hand,and that's obviously fine. But I feel sometimes that's too easy to go with, and there may be a better option. Despite so much equity, we still want folds, and the best possible spot would be to get a turn fold after a flop call.

So I actually decide to bet 3k into 17k, to leave a situation where we have 14k into 13k on the turn. We may get a bluff through on certain turns, and if we do hit the great cards, there is always the option to check behind, to have the double chance of the out of position opponent either leading or check-calling.

Button folds, Schulman calls.

Turn is Qs 5s 2c Ks. Ouch. He checks

Once again, the standard would be to just pot move in. However, he for sure won't know me, and I think I can get away with something a little fishier. I bet 6k of my 17k, to try to sell that I am ultra strong, which would be a flush and good low draw.
I still also think, that even with a top player like him, the poker psychology can still work, that it is more difficult to move all-in than call all-in.

He folds. 38k

Hi Stuart

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU7YSiu4vfE&feature=youtu.be

Thanks so much.

Well the blog is very interesting!

I am the other player in the hand starting at 13:10 and the hand starting at 15:40. First hand is standard, I had A299, his fold is fairly neutral.

Second hand is not standard. It's the hand I described as my 'one potential' regret, earlier today. I had KK42, and so flopped the wheel on the A53 flop. My check behind on the A535 turn was anti-standard, and from how Daniel described his feelings,I still dont know how to feel about it.

So, my check behind on the turn was with the exact hope that he would 1) Decide I couldn't have low 2) lead the river big with a low to try to get me off a high and 3) When I did pot raise the river, decide that I was bluffing for half the pot with a high, trying to get him off his low.

And that is exactly what he says. He even adds 'he almost definitely couldn't have a better low.' So, in his description, it's perfect for us, until one problem... He folded.

I can't quite work out from his thoughts why he did make the fold. I'm sure he'll know that when you face a pot sized bet or raise, and you are calling for half the pot, you need a two thirds chance or better of being good for your half in order to make the call. And his thoughts seem to indicate that he did have that level of certainty. Ultimately, my strategy was wrong, because some part of his thought process (maybe a variance control) did persuade him to fold.

I guess he got me. He describes a thought process which was exactly what I wanted his thought process to be, and still got it right. Sigh, wp

Hmm, nasty one to start.

I start (4h 5h) 7h (super strong, but lessened by 3 dead hearts), we go 5 bets (normally very rare) on 3rd, with a 6c forcing the action.

I catch the beautiful (4h 5h) 7h 2h on 4th, but (XX) 6c catches the 7c. It's only one bet- if I'm calling two cold, knowing that it could get capped again, I actually have an incredibly rare fold spot, given that he has no dead clubs.

A third player showing  Aspades 5c Qd 3s calls down with me, and it is only one bet per street, but I sadly miss with (4h 5h) 7h 2h Qc Ks (Kd). He shows (xx) 6c 7c 2d 3h, and at showdown shows a made flush and low with presumed (8c 2c) 6c 7c 2d 3h (Qc).

I've got 43k.

Apologies for the delay on this.

Fantastic company, nice atmosphere, not so sure on the sport.

The highlights:

Tikay gets very excited about a dog who has been trained to bring out the bat.

Tal is kind enough to explain many intricacies of the rules. I still have no idea what is going on.

Tikay explains that after the 7th inninigs, everyone must stand and sing the "take me to the baseball game" song. I leave at the end of the 6th.

Wow, Negreanu.

He limps a (XX)Qs to my bring in (Ks 5d) 2c.

Likely spades from the start. Fourth I make a pair of kings (Ks 5d)2c Kh. He catches a spade (xx) Qs 3s. I check, it's really close whether to check raise or not. I don't- likely three low to go along with likely four spades.

Fifth I make three kings, (Ks 5d) 2c Kh Kc. He bricks (xx) Qs 3s Jc. I bet, standard. He calls.

Sixth he likely gets there for the  flush- my (Ks 5d) 2c Kh Kc 9d Vs his (xx) Qs 3s Jc 2s. I check call.

One time 7th? Yes. (Ks 5d) 2c Kh Kc 9d (5c). I check, he bets. Feel four seconds is about my standard 'tank' before raising.

He hates it. He says 'damn, I nearly checked.' He thinks for ages and folds. I mean, there is very good logic- I kind of have to have it given my check-raise and my call on 6th. But still, just world class at 9 to 1. He'll be a good player one day. :)

Interesting side note is that if I had turned trip kings into a bluff,  it does indeed work.

Nice bluff on Todd brunson.

He raises a J, Fingers calls a 5, I have (A4)3 and decide to two bet.

That two bet means I can bet all the way with the boards having equal equity. Brunson must almost definitely have a pair of jacks, and does fold it on 6th when I make (A4)3898. Fingers misses his low and a pair of eights is good for a scoop

Hmm- the three kings. Was an interesting one. I had (4J)J94, he had raise-called against (XX)7 which had (XX)7JK, with two sevens dead. So, never trip sevens, never trip jacks, can literally only be trip kings. And if it's not, it's aces or queens. Possibly should fold 6th, but it's so tough agianst one specific hand

End of day one. 236k.

Wow that was a fun and lucky day.

The interesting hand is the one against Negreanu, where I made kings full of fives, and he folded a flush to my river check raise. I definitely was wrong on that hand, as I should be planning to check raise with unimproved trip kings as a bluff, and wasn't. Good job I caught my ten outer to make the decision easy. So we have learnt today..

Wow, Negreanu.

He limps a (XX)Qs to my bring in (Ks 5d) 2c.

Likely spades from the start. Fourth I make a pair of kings (Ks 5d)2c Kh. He catches a spade (xx) Qs 3s. I check, it's really close whether to check raise or not. I don't- likely three low to go along with likely four spades.

Fifth I make three kings, (Ks 5d) 2c Kh Kc. He bricks (xx) Qs 3s Jc. I bet, standard. He calls.

Sixth he likely gets there for the  flush- my (Ks 5d) 2c Kh Kc 9d Vs his (xx) Qs 3s Jc 2s. I check call.

One time 7th? Yes. (Ks 5d) 2c Kh Kc 9d (5c). I check, he bets. Feel four seconds is about my standard 'tank' before raising.

He hates it. He says 'damn, I nearly checked.' He thinks for ages and folds. I mean, there is very good logic- I kind of have to have it given my check-raise and my call on 6th. But still, just world class at 9 to 1. He'll be a good player one day. :)

Interesting side note is that if I had turned trip kings into a bluff,  it does indeed work.

Temporarily arrived at Rutter Rail.

For a bit of context, let me describe the geography.

Stu is in the Amazon room, which is the famous WSOP one. They've stuck the Stud8 players in the far corner as you walk in, obscured by the Thunnnnderrrrrrrdome (believe I've spelt that correctly). It is also hidden behind a throng of updaters tippytapping on laptops, plus a curtained-off area, which I'd speculate is used for interviews.

Hero is on table Tan 441, seated below a 20ft hanging poster of 1998 Main Event champ, Scotty Nguyen.

There's a table by the rail with 23 pieces of white A4 on it. On each is the name of a poker player, plus their country of residence. I've no idea what these signify, but they have been arranged deliberately for some reason. All I can say with confidence is it's rutterless and therefore has no value.

Meanwhile, in the same quadrant of the room is the PLO Giant, where a player just grabbed his coat, only to be told he'd won the pot. He apologised but not before he'd celebrated vociferously, much to the exiting player's poorly-concealed chagrin.

"I didn't see the ace!", he giggled nervously.

Billy Busto sighed and shook his head as the payout lady arrived to console him.

Well I know it's not meant to hurt, but that one hurt a bit. Definitely made easier than the fact that I at least don't think I have done anything about it. As easily as they go up, so they come down.

Exit hand, I had 35k. Friedman raised an (XX)A on my (7h 8h)2c. Two low cards between me and him, but it may be fairly light. I call the 5k. I catch (7h 8h) 2c 8d Vs his (XX) A3. He bets, I call. Then he catches his high, (XX)A3A Vs my (7h 8h) 2c 8d 6h. He bets, I call to leave 10k. They're standard calls, but by improving each street to be slightly behind him, it could be the classic set up.

Sixth we both sadly catch two pair. His (xx)A3A3 Vs my (7h 8h) 2c 8d 6h 2d. He bets, I've got a standard call to try to make low (and I guess four outs to the dream). And where yesterday we caught everything, today we always missed.

With the day off, definitely do send bank details if you like. Can send the total so far.

Final numbers (before the Main Event)

Sorry, page 60's totalling conatins an error. I had added up the missed events with round numbers, and so not added the $2,620 marathon and $565 (plus re-entry) Pot Limit Omaha. So total missed events is $30,750, not $27,000.

So the full explanation:



Cashes- $221,506
Missed events- $30,750
Penalty refund- $750
Bounty- $300

Extra events $55,000, the four potential 10ks were added. The 10k limit holdem was added as new, as was the $5k satellite to the $50k

Total is therefore $221,506+$30,750+$300+$750-$55,000, so


Total- $198,306

Total guaranteed profit is on the $113,750 original investment, and so is $84,556

Well, here we go.

The most exciting day of the poker year. It is just not another big holdem tournament; it is the one.

The buzz around the Rio is incredible. I had to wait through four full lifts from floor 11, before getting one down, so it would seem that this is by far the busiest day, as predicted!

Just about to start. Just four of us. Late arrival I guess is probably not a good sign.

Well here is the brief history of my experiences:

2009- Played the first one. Don't quite remember, I think I must have busted day two.

2010- Missed it

2011- Passport problems, did not make it away from Gatwick!

2012- Missed it

2013- Early day three bust out

2014- A better time. Ran really well for five days, finished 59th

2015- Ran really well for 3 days. Day four, busted AK into AA, for around 400th.

2016- The dream starting table. Couldn't win a pot. Finished the day with 28k and busted day two.

2017- The nightmare starting table (Firaldo, Weisner, Barbero, etc) Firaldo got me towards the end of day one.

So let's find whatever pattern in that above list gives us the positive omen!

Older guy raises HJ to 325, button calls, I have Qs Qh in the small.

I make it 1,000 and it gets the desired outcome. Raiser calls, button folds.

Flop is Td 8d 3d. I bet 1,100, he raises to 3,500. I call

Turn is Td 8d 3d 4s. I check, he bets 5k. Fold.

Hmmm, mess of a hand. Can't see any other way to play it. He has previously checked aces behind after three betting on 456Q turn, so any chance that this could be AT or JJ is reduced by turn bet. Maybe should fold the flop.

Hmm not a great start, haven't won a pot, lost three small ones.

39k

Table draw I would say falls right in the middle of the spectrum. Warbs obviously terrible news, one young french guy, 3/4 more recreational players. Definitely nothing spectacularly strange happening, so maybe it's a little worse than average

Raise Tc 9c from the cut-off to 700, button calls, BB calls.

Flop Qc 8s 6s. I bet 800, button raises to 2,400.It really feels like it is simply a queen- AQ or KQ.

It gets too big if I do what is slightly tempting to do, which is to get aggressive. I call. Lovely spot- the straights are disguised, he will weigh me heavily towards spades, and I have of course a back door flush draw.

Turn Qc 8s 6s 2s.

I definitely think about bluffing. I would do if the Queen was a spade- then I can rule out  Aspades Qs, and he can't have something like Ac Qs, to be able to call the turn. He has just made a bizarre big bluff vs Warbs, too, so bluffing doesn't feel so good.

I check, he checks behind.

River Qc 9s 6s 2s 4c.

It doesn't feel right to now bluff. It might have been had he not had his big bluff called Vs Warbs.

I check, he checks, he has Ac Qd

Puke

UTG raises to 675, I have Ks Kd UTG1 and make it 1,700.

Big blind cold four bets to 3,300. He has been steady but hasn't done anything strange. I have 30k total.

I'm never getting it in pre. There isn't any option apart from call.

Flop Qd 7s 4c. He bets 3,500 into 7,575. Again, never raising to raise-fold or to get it in. I'm close to folding- if he reads the UTG1 Vs UTG 3bet correctly, maybe he doesn't cold four with JJ or AK. On the other hand, if he does have those hands (or indeed kings), a turn and river check down seems very possible.

I call.

Turn is Qs 7s 4c Qc. He bets 4,500 into 14,575. It's slightly curious that he bet if he does have AA, but the sizing helps make it look like aces. There are of course bluffing options for me- to raise to some amount here, or call and move in on the river. But to be honest, I'm not even going to think of them at this stage of the Main event.

I fold. Down to 28k. Not good

Think I've played nine pots and won zero pots

Raise from MP to 750, I have  Ahrt Kd and 25k, and decide to make it 1,800. I think about calling, but a squeeze behind me is nasty, because I don't want to choose any of the options against it- folding, calling in or moving in 80+ big blinds.

He calls, flop is 6s 6d 4h. He checks. I decide to check. We then check down all the streets on 6s 6d 4h Qh 3c, and he has 5c 5d.

Hmm, maybe should bet the flop. The one thing I was sure I musnt do is just bet once- he would most likely call every hand that beats me, before being much more likely to fold the turn. Maybe I should just bet twice. I'm hamstrung by the Main Event situation of wanting to preserve 23k chips rather than moving down to 18k. It is also a factor that I three bet him two hands before when I had KK, and that the way the hand played out doesn't make it obvious to him that I was three betting genuinely.

Raise Ac Js to 700, BB defends, flop is 6h 5c 4h. Checked. Turn is 6h 5c 4d Ad. He leads 1000, I call.

River is 6h 5c 4d Ad Jd. He checks, I bet 2,000, he calls. He slam called, so I got the sizing wrong.

Raise  Aspades Qc, good player calls button.

Flop Ks Js 4c. I bet 1,000 into 1,400. Bigger than usual, so that there is less chance of him floating or bluff raising. He folds

Sigh nasty one.

At 150-300, there is a limp UTG. Guy who hasn't done anything awful but is now playing alot of pots limps behind. Good player makes it 900. I think his sizing means that he is very likely not strong.

I have Ks Kd in the big blind.

I make it 3,200. The player who has over limped, calls. (!!). Raiser calls. Well, we're looking at potential big things happening now.

10k in the pot, I've got 24k behind

Flop 7d 6d 5c. I bet 4,200 into 10,050.

The over limper cuts out 30k of his 60k and puts it in.

 I'm getting 2 to 1, 20k to win 60k.

I decide to fold. It feels like it is never JJ or A7. I think he does this with all his strong hands- and does have all the suited two pairs, all the sets, 89 suited and maybe even 43 suited. I think it will be some of his AA, for a bizarre way of playing it. I think it isn't many of his diamonds- and the ones that it is are far more likely with a pair, a straight draw or an  Ad.

Ah, it's an mess of a pot.

Two folds, and the button makes it 8,500.

I go with it. When I move in, I make the mistake of almost being ready to show my hand. He brings very good news as he sighs and says 'how much?'

He thinks for a while. Its 4,800 to win 31k. I'm thinking, please please fold. Obviously would be insane to fold unless he really does have a bluff.

Got one wrong.

I have 33k and Ks Tc in the small blind. Button raises to 1,400. Button's hand strength has been telegraphed by his sizing: the bigger, the weaker.

Small blind calls.

If the button folds, it feels like the SB is almost definitely folding. I squeeze to 4,500.

It happens in a frustrating way. Button goes to muck, and brings them back, goes to muck again, bangs his cards a little bit. Calls.

Given that it was obviously so close, there may well be a case for just making it more pre flop.

SB folds

Flop Qh 5c 2h.

This feels like a standard one shot. He may call 66-JJ, but he's not going with much else that isn't a flush draw or Q. I bet 4k. He insta makes it 10k. Guess he has a queen

25k

No good

Guy who doubled me up with the 43 opens to 1,200 UTG. CO calls. I have Aspades Jc on the button. He is opening more than a month 35% of pots, so it's either a call or a three bet. I call.

Flop Qs 5s 3s. Raiser checks,  CO bets 2k into 4,700. I have 23k. Messy to raise fold, so I call.

Turn Qs 5s 3s 6d. CO bets 3,500 into 11,700. I have the odds to call, and so definitely the implied odds to call. There is obviously some possibility of me moving all in on turn, in the hope of it looking strong, but it's just too high variance of a move for the Main.

I call. Seems unideal to be just calling off trying to hit a spade, but it's definitely right.

Miss the river. He bets, I fold.

Raise 3c 3h to 900 MP, button calls and BB calls.

It comes with Jc 8c 5h Tc 6s. It's checked twice and the big blind bets 2000 into 3,400 on the river.

I really think about it. He is most of the time going to lead all his Jacks, two pairs, and sets and maybe even tens on the turn. He may check a flush on the turn to slow play it, but it's still suspicious.

The problem is that his BB calling range that has nothing is similarly restricted. It's only really KQ, A9, A7, A4 and A3. And maybe K9.

I did think he maybe looked nervous but wasn't sure enough to pull the trigger and call

I have  Ahrt Ac on the CO. MP throws in a 1k chip. Confusion, and he says he meant to raise. Presumed 100% true.

My sizing is a big decision. Presumably he will come along for at least 1,800, but the BB is the player who doubled me up with 43, and I am short enough that I do want it three way. I make it 1,400. Big blind and original limper call.

Flop Qh Jh 4h. Beautiful. I have 13k. MP bets 1,500.

It must be right to trap. He will go crazy on a non heart turn. He I call.

BB makes it 6,500. To be honest, it doesn't feel good at all, but it has to be right to go with it. Not far behind two pair, but some possibility of a hand like Kh Qs, and definitely also of something like Qh 9h, (given the earlier 43 play). I move all in.

Given that he thought so long with the cinch call earlier with 43 to my all in, his call after two seconds feels like bad news.

Table does look interesting. A debate on squaring the table, and then a big debate when seat one declares facing a four bet that he has kings, later shows them to show he has been telling the truth, and there is a grand debate on whether this was legal or not. Legal or not, I think the three seat found it helpful, as he took it down on a ace high flop!

One seat is creating a lot of situations, has been declaring his hand alot and generally doing "interesting" things. Three seat opens to 1,500 on his blind. Three seat is the one who won the lot against him when he (correctly) declared he had kings.

There is a raise to 1,500 from UTG2 and a button call, I call 6d 6c from big.

Flop is  Aspades Ts 3d, checked round.

Turn is Aspades Ts 3d Qd. I check, UTG2 bets 2,200 into 5,700.

There won't be too many spots where I'm going to bluff with next to no equity, but this felt good enough that I had to go for it. I check raised to 6,600, in order to move in for 18,500 into 18,900 on the river.

One strong factor is that it felt like UTG2 would not trap the turn if he did have a flopped set or turned set or straight, so that I can bluff into a capped range on the river. And then we have the fact that he probably does bet the flop with all strong hands, and the small turn sizing.

I check raise to 6,600, he calls after a minute. I move in on Aspades Ts 3d Qd 2c river, and he folds.

Sigh, got one wrong.

I raise CO to 2k from 31,500 with AJo, button calls. Button is playing alot of hands, and passively. Aussie guy in small blind is obviously very good and very aggressive. He makes it 9,200 after looking at our stacks (button has me just covered).

I really want to do it, but obviously we have a big problem with the just over 2:1 that he'll be getting on his call. I fold. Probably put too much emphasis on wishing that I had 40k.


What actually happens is that the button launches a surprise by snap moivng in. Aussie snap folds. Pretty sure I would have got it through the button had I gone for it. Ouch ouch ouch ouch.

Got some for free from the deck.

Had Ks Kc, decided not to fold them this time.

CO raises to 1,700, button three bets to 5,100, I have 26,300, and obviously would be strange to do anything but move in.

CO actually thinks for a while before calling, but button quickly folds.

Seat one wins a massive 150k pot from the nice guy in seat four, and his wild celebrations suddenly don't seem so bad when he starts shouting "you couldn't beat a straight , horrible call, HORRIBLE call."

I feel I have to say something gently about not commenting to a guy who has just lost a big pot, but I'm not sure it will make much difference to seat one's next pot. This table is definitely not boring.

Up to 41k. The dream is to get above the starting stack.

Interesting that if there were a testerone level anywhere close to seat one's, the events so far could have got a bit more ugly. But seat four could not have taken the shouting in his face after losing the massive pot any more calmly, and the rest of the table is similarly chilled.

Seat one drama will surely continue though, in the poker  and the conversation sense, he has 250k

I did get above the starting stack!

The player who will now forever be called seat one limps for 800, button raises to 2,500.

I have Ac 7c. I very possibly should three bet. However, i think he's definitely good enough to know enough to put it all in often enough. I call.

Flop Ac 4d 4s. Checked to button, who bets small, 2,200. Definitely a possibility to raise if he's likely enough to float or raise, but I don't feel it's going to be clear enough to proceed.

Turn is Ac 4d 4s 7d. That card is nice, but probably not significant. Check-check

River is Ac 4d 4s 7d 3h. Tough choice. I definitely could represent a float, but a float should be expected to be followed by a small river bet. I check. He almost definitely isn't going to bluff again,but we get to check raise a value bet. He bets 3,800. This now seems like value, as it's tough for that sizing to be a bluff, but he folds so quickly when I make it 18,500, that I think it must have been a bluff.

UTG raises to 2k from about the same 50k stack as I have with Qs Qc. I make it 4,600. To be honest, he's been steady enough that there are ways I may be folding it pre.

He calls, we see a flop of Ac Jc 3d. He snap bets 7k.

There is a definitely a factor that AK may well 4bet pre (albeit very possibly not), AQ is half blocked and AJ will probably trap. However, there just aren't enough hands that raise UTG that miss, especially given I also block KQ. I fold.

48k at dinner break

Raise to 2,200 UTG with Js Jd, BB calls.

Flop 8d 2d 2c. He check-calls my 3,600.

Turn 8d 2d 2c 8h. He bets 6,100 into 13,200. I call

River is 8d 2d 2c 8h 6s. He bets 16k into 25,400. I fold

48k at third break.

Hmm. To be honest, given how he's played, I actually felt more of an argument for folding the turn than I did for calling the river. But given the steady  player arguement, it at least meant on the turn that if he was bluffing, I would likely be getting a check on the river. And I guess 2 outs to getting 50k if my turn call is wrong. So, given the 4% chance of that, that equity always accounts for 2k of his 6,100 bet

So, I had got up to 72k, and then

Raise from a tight player UTG to 3k (which I actually thought was bigger than his usual sizing). I had As Kd and decided to flat.

Big blind, who has been the most aggressive and gained the table chip lead, makes it 14k.r

Now, only one action is possible, I guess. Move in. And win the flip

Big bluff, lost a big one.

CO (good player, played fairly but not massively aggressively) opens to 2,700. I have Ac Qd and three bet from SB to 7,700. He calls.

Flop Qh 5h 4c. I bet 7,200, he Calls.

Turn Qh 5h 4c Th. I check, he bets 16k, I call.

River Qh 5h 4c Th 8h.

I bet 30k. I don't think I've done anything too special, and so suspicion that I am turning anything into a bluff just won't be too high. It's obviously fairly tough for him to have the  Ahrt.

He makes it 85k. He 99% has it, no thought about anything other than folding.

I think the only regret is that I did wonder about a change of plan when he snap-checked his cards going to the river. It could obviously have been a fake check, but it felt that it definitely did change the likleyhoods- and that it gave him the ace of hearts more.

I think I'm probably ok with it though. 2 to 1 on my bluff, and such a good chance of getting it through if I I don't run into the card that I'm trying to rep.

Nasty one.

Staller's big blind. Xian Liu opens LoJack to 3,500. I have 9h8h. She won't have seen before before, which is big, as I have a decent innocence factor. I feel it just has to be right to do it. I three bet to 9,500.

She calls. Flop 9d 4s 3c. I bet 9,000, she calls.

Board comes 9d 4s 3c Ks 3h, and is checked through. Definitely thought about merigng the River agianst a range that is often 77/88/TT/JJ, and the merge has some small extra advantage that she may fold a 9, but I decided she wouldn't treat TT/JJ exactly the same as 77/88.

She has Th Tc

Bagging 81,500 now

So yes, bagging up 81,500 now for day three.

Definitely pleased after the start, but the decision for the fairly big bluff with AQ was definitely close. Maybe the way he checked his cards swings the probability just about enough, that he has he ace of hearts and is just wanting to check. Actually a relatively simple day apart from that. Alot of fun, two very friendly tables (even 'seat one' mellowed a bit throughout the day)

Absolute mess of a hand. Will describe fully later.

Seat six is "very very new"  to the game.

I make it 4,500 with  Ahrt Kd. Seat six says "let's play for ten." Seat Seven is definitely good and flat calls. He is playing 180k, seat six has him covered.

This is so tough. Maybe should move in. I call.


Flop Aspades Qd 6c. I check, seat six bets 12k, seat Seven calls.

Just a mess already. Little idea what to do. Seat seven will be playing a very sensible range. He now basically 100% must have one of AQ, AK, or QQ.

I call.

Turn Aspades Qd 6c 3s. I check, seat six looks lost and checks. Seat seven bets 20k. I call. Seat six shakes his head over and over, and calls.

River is Aspades Qd 6c 3s. Both check, seat seven bets 40k. I have 45k. Pot going to the river is 130k.

I end up folding. Pre flop and river may just be horribly wrong. Decided that preserving my last chips has alot more value than it usually does,  table looks brilliant.

I thought for probably ten minutes and probably should have had the clock called. A million thoughts about it, and ultimately no idea what to do.

Utter utter puke. Will go into detail later.

Table is more interesting, the more it goes on. Lots of limps, some stacking in tens, lots of classic conversations.

So, praying to not break and to run good. And it's happened so far...

Hijack raises to 7k at 1-2k (lower than the average raise size at the table. I decide in big blind to defend  Aspades Ts and it comes

 Ad Td 5s.

He moves 40k into 17,400 with pocket threes, and we hold

114k first break

If I did get the AK hand wrong , I am now very lucky. Although the weighing in I did that surviving with 40k chips at this table could be worth alot, is at least looking like the one weighting that I did get right.

Wow, the prayer for run good and some more unusual play continues to be answered.

204k.

This one was run good far more than the unusual play.

I have 100k with Aspades Qd on button, cut-off raises to 5k. Absolutely right to play flops, so I just call.

He turns out to have Ac 5c.

Flop is  Ahrt Qc 5d. He bets 6,500, I call.

Turn is Ahrt Qc 5d Jc. He bets 20k. This is very close, whether to call, min raise, or move in. I just about decide to call; he may inflate out of his control on the river.

River is beautifully safe. Ahrt Qc 5d Jc 4h. He bets 50k. I have 67k. I move in.

He absolutely snap calls, which isn't good news. But AQ was likely still to be good. And then I received the news of how well I had run with the flop cooler and river brick.

I'm out

This one is standard. An insanely puke spot but I just can't change any actions.

Seat nine is a new Norwegian. He has played massively Scandie. The previous pot, he check raised all in with a gut shot for a 180k pot on the turn, and won.

Seat one is passive and inexperienced, but hasn't seemed too inexperienced yet.  (He turns out to be more so)

During what happened, I hated the implication of every step along the way, but don't think I can change anything.

I raise Ac Kd UTG2. Seat six (the subject of previous posts, the most inexperienced of all) flats. Scandie makes it 20k. Seat one fairly quickly cold calls the big. Feels like it must be TT-QQ or AK, but already feeling like it is the pair.

I make it 60k. Scandie folds. From what I had seen so far, I (incorrectly) expected that if it got through the Scandie, seat one would give the long tank, speech and fold.

Seat one now super-snap calls the 60k. Wow. I guess he is more interesting than I had realised. He is playing the almost exact same starting stack as me.

Flop is 8d 4d 2d (I have Kd)

He is all in within a heartbeat.

There's almost no doubt that he's pulling the move that went out of fashion in about 2007; that he has jacks or tens and was waiting for a safe flop. Oh, to have the JJ-AA that is the only other part of my range.

There's a small chance of AK, and if it is, it's more likely the diamond. But with a two to one weighting against the ace of diamonds, it feels like his rare AK holdings come to neutral EV.

To be honest, I basically have no doubt that it's TT, JJ or QQ, In which case, whether he has a diamond only makes the difference of one out.

So, I spend my four minute tank just deciding whether I want to call off 140k for a near race for 436k. I decide I have to. It would definitely be right to fold if my call was a smaller plus EV, but 50%/50% at better than 2 to 1  is just too far above EV to fold.

He does indeed have black tens. A hand that a third of my range (overpair with diamond) has crushed at one out, a third (overpair without diamond) crushed at two outs, and half of the other third (AK with diamond) at 50/50.

So horrible for circumstances to lead to a 436k race.  Ultimately, the reason is actually the Scandie sitting down and skewing the action. I guess the dream of eight passive spots before that couldn't last for ever.

We miss.

Feel crushed. It's always crushing to bust the main, but it's so gutting to have to take a 436k race at that table. I have regrets about earlier pots, but this one just played out in a disgusting way, I don't think I can make any action differently.

Thanks so much for the rail and support guys. It's been alot of fun. Busting the main for such a big spot will take some time to get over, but I'll look back on a really fun Summer, and am so thankful to the backers to have been able to play that schedule, and to everyone for their support.

World Series of Poker 2019

I’ve had a couple of people inquiring about whether there will be a staking package this year, so just wanted to give a quick update.

We’re very excited to have had the arrival of a little boy, Jack Rutter. He’s wonderful.

I’ll definitely attend the WSOP this year, but for the obvious reason, it won’t be the full schedule. I probably wont make certain a schedule til mid to late May. At a minimum, I would go for just the Main Event. At a rough maximum, I would go from something like the 12th June, for a similar but slightly smaller package than last year. For either of those, or anything in between, I will sell on here, and start thread as soon as I know the exact details.
