Title: Stuart Rutter WSOP and WSOPE 2021, selling at 1.0 (as yet, details unknown)
Post by: easypickings on October 11, 2021, 01:12:46 PM
Hi all,

Just thought I would update to say that there will be a staking package for this WSOP, in some combination of the Vegas and Rozvadov schedule, but of course I still don't know what it is!

Since the US announced that we would be allowed in from "early November," I have been eagerly awaiting the date, but there has been silence since, which is presumably making bad news a little more likely.

The Main Event and onwards is still the hope, but I would still go to Vegas as late as the 12th, if it came to that, to take in the last 10 days of the schedule, before going across to WSOP Europe.

Will have full details as soon as they are out.

Hey stu is it possible to pre-book/reserve some action or do you want to wait til youve decided on a schedule?

Big apologies, as this is an inadvertent slowroll, but there actually won't be any of the package avaliable for sale. I felt I had to first ask the one person who used to back me for live tournaments (Marvin Rettenmaier) as a formality, and he completely surprised me by wanting all of it. Never saw that coming.

Sorry for the change of mind. Will leave this message on here for a few days, so that it can be seen, and then delete the post.

I actually hadn't planned to, only because it might seem a bit tilting more someone to say "Hey I'm selling,...." "Actually, I'm not selling...." "Oh, here is how it's going anyway."

But massively happy to, and would love to if people want to

In which case, as a thanks for having me, I'll give away a $170 (0.2%) piece of the $85k package, for the sweat.

Guess the official minute of the first goal in Manchester United vs Liverpool on Sunday.

(If people are equally far apart, piece is shared between that number of people. If people guess the same minute and win, prize is shared between that number of people)

("no goal" is not allowed. If it's 0-0, we'll carry over!)

Always have to comment for no reason when you have made 10 posts in 6 months. why would you even care to make one of your 10 posts in 6 months about something so trivial that doesn't remotely affect you and you could have easily have had the same edge if you think its a huge edge with less than 10 people bothering to post answers?

Oh goodness.

For twenty minutes, we had a pair of gold glasses in seat 9,and speculation arose that it might be Helmuth.


Didn't believe it, but it turned out to be true. He entered with the most ridiculous array of Bitcoin girls. Now doing interviews for absolutely everyone

Meanwhile, 69, 800

Raise Ac 9c UTG1 at 250-500(500), BB calls
 
9d 6d 2d. She checks, I bet 1,200 into 2,650, she calls.

9d 6d 2d Jc. She checks I bet 2,050 into 5,050.

She now checks her cards, and calls. Feels like the check of cards at that point probably polarises it a bit. (We didnt have the flop check of cards)

9d 6d 2d Jc 8s.

She bets 5k. Yuk. Presumably polarised to a flush or the ace diamonds. Her check of cards, rather than the turn, concerns me for sure. Think I have to call; she just has the missed flush draw too much.

She has it, Ad 8d. And, bizarrely, slowrolls it, by showing the Ad,
waiting a couple of seconds and showing the second diamond.
Ouch

69,200

Oh, also there was a twitter comp earlier from Pads and I picked you to be biggest stack sometime in the future. Dont let me down ;)

Day two begins in an hour.

Thanks so much guys.

So, yes, rumours of the day 1F "Euro invasion" turned out to be greatly exaggerated. GG French guy was actually the only other player all day not from the United States. It was a nice table, which makes the end of day count slightly disappointing, but obviously it's completely fine. Structure just beautiful, going back to 84 bigs.

Table played really quite passive, on the cally side. I don't think anyone really got out of line all day, and that very much included Helmuth, who told us that he was just there to make day two, and was then a man of his word.

I think what happened with this unique day 1F, was 1) Not many Euros made it across, and 2) Given the perception of what the day would be, then very few very good American players were going to choose to play this flight.

69,700

Down to 70.3k

There's been alot of a limping nice table

UTG and UTG1 call at 400-800(800), I make it 3.3k with KQ

Both call. Flop AT7. Both check to me. Thought about it, but one problem is that I may have to call the river with KQ high, if one player calls, and it comes, say, AT733.

Check. Turn is AT75. UTG bets 1.5k into 12k, so i have to call.

River AT75T. He bets 1.5k again (that kind of table). Fold

Raise to 2.1k UTG. Cutoff calls, BB calls

 Jd 9c 6s. I bet 4k into 8k. Both call.

Jd 9c 6s 8h. Not too pretty. I bet 9k into 20k. Just cutoff calls

River Jd 9c 6d 8h 3h. I check. Really hoping for a snap check behind.

He bets 22k into 38k. I mean, he just has to have 2 pair plus. It would obviously be a great bluff with JT, T9 or T8, but I'm almost  sure that isn't what's going on.

Fold. Sigh

56k last break of day.

I've spent at least 90% of the first 18 hours of this tournament no more than 10% below, or 10% above, the starting stack. All good.

I guess this hanging round will mean one of two things in
The last level. Either it will lead to a rush at the end of the day, or will be inconsequential :)

Well after 19 uneventful hours, the last one did indeed worth waiting for! Up to 124.8k for day 3, going back at 1200-2400(2400)

I had Aces, Kings and Jacks in 3 of the last hands, and two days that had me consistently on starting stack, brings us back now with double it.

Word is that we will reach the cash either at the end of tomorrow (day 3), or right at the start of day 4.

Thanks so much guys. Table looks interesting indeed. Firaldo knocked me out a few years ago. Pat Lyons, however, seems more interesting. He played a hand all in blind whilst being interviewed yesterday (and won).

He leads 3.6k into 18k. Think I have to call. Obviously some kind of case to raise, but probably not this time


Turn 9s 5s 2c 5d.

Firaldo took a AK< AQ beat, and is short.

Pat Lyons has had all his chips over the line twice, but in sensible fashion; 4bet all in with KK pre, to which the woman folded, and moved all in from BB with Kd Qd vs Firaldo's SB limp.

178k

Raise  Ahrt 9h Hijack, Pat Lyons defends

 Kh Tc 2h. He checks, I bet 4.2k, he calls (one time please?...)

Yes. Kh Tc 2h 8h. He leads the min, 2.4k. I make it 20k, he calls

River Kh Tc 2h 8h 3d.

He checks. Now, it already appears that his play today (and probably in general) is far more sensible than his "incident" yesterday would imply.

But obviously, something went on with the min bet, and there can't be much reason to not go big.

I bet 56k into 60k. He actually pretty quick folds.

One funny element is that the incident does, if he is thinking about things, give him as close to a guarantee as possible that no one is going to bluff him.

It nearly got really dirty. Didn't want it to, but would have had to

Woman raises UTG2 on Lyons' BB to 5.5k. UTG2 calls, I have  Aspades Qs.

Close, but there's arguments for playing multiway.

One more reluctant call from the button, and comes to Firaldo. He has a pretty awesome squeeze spot. Makes it 32.5k

Hmm, yuk. He has 125k, I have him covered, and I think I will have no option but to do it if it folds to me.

Then, it gets dirtier. Lyon gives the speech, and calls the 32.5k cold from the big. He'll have a bad hand

Now I'm just going to have to do it if it folds to me, and create some ridiculous 3 way all in me vs Firaldo vs Lyons.

The woman actually snap declares a confident all in (she'll have it) . I'll admit to being slightly relieved, I  would have had to go with it, but obviously not really wanting that kind of spot.

Raise   Aspades Jd Td 9c to 3,600 at 600,1,200. BB is a dead hand , which can always be annoying when you have a half-honest hand. SB raises pot, to 13.2k.

Just about have to call. Lack of nut suit is bad, but it's a call.

It comes Kd Qd 2s. He pots, we under call all in.

He says " I just have top set," and has Ks Kd 6s 5c.

We get there on the turn of Kd Qd 2s Jc

But then make the third Jack that we didn't want to make on the river..

 Aspades Kh 3d. Check, he bets 1,500. Call

 Aspades Kh 3d 7c. I check, he now bets 7k into 6.5k

Feels very suspicious. Presuming that he would have 3bet AK, there's not much that he's repping. Call

Not at all what I'm going to do if he moves in on the river.

 Aspades Kh 3d 7c 8d. Check. He thinks for a quite a while, but checks, and mucks.

37,000

$1,500 Round of Each

Sadly, at the rebuy cage. Raise Tc Th UTG1 to 1.2k from 42k,  4 call.

Pot 7.4k

9s 7c 2h. Big blind leads for 2k. I make it 9k from 42k. He calls

9s 7c 2h Td. He has me covered. We have 33k into, 25,200

He bets 3k. His heart starts beating fast. I kind of hate it, but I don't think there's too much we can do. All in, call

He does have it. 8h 6h. No good

9s 7c 2h Td 3d

$1,500 Round of Each

Second bullet was sadly fairly quick. 600-1200, Hijack raises to 3k. I have 6s 6c, and 26,200 on the button. Don't really like these spots in these kind of tournaments, but I have to go with it. I sometimes try for the fold by making it less, so make it 15k

He snap moves in, which sounds like bad news. He has Kc Jh. Sigh. No good....

Kd 9c 7c 3d Jh

Gutted. These kind of tournaments are actually lovely to have a run in.

Table looks more encouraging than I thought. Only recognise Dan Heimiller

60.5k. Won a small one, and then we go 4 way where I have

(3h 6c) 7s. Other three have  Aspades, Ac and 9d

I catch (3h 6c) 7s 5d.

Aspades catches the Ad. Ac catches 5h. 9d catches 6s.

Pair of aces bets, Ac calls, i call, 9d folds.

Miss 5th Street. (3h 6c) 7s 5d Jd. Their hands become Aspades Ad Js, and Ac 5h 7h.

Pair of aces bets, Ac guy raises.

Hmm, nasty spot. Obviously I'm getting squeezed, and this will end as four bets to me, but I nearly have the price. Its just about a fold

Out, sadly

Got back up to 52k, but then got brick walled by two straights.

First hand, I 2bet (AA)2 from the bring in. I make

(AA) 2447 (T), bet every street into (xx) 764T (x). He flats the river, which is good news (if he doesn't have a low for the scoop, then I'm winning)

He has a straight (89764Tx), so it's fairly inexplicable that he didn't raise. But I guess it saved me a bet.

Big pot to lose at that point, we needed to run good in the last level.

Then, I have (QQ) 3 with 19k in the bring in, Hijack raises a (xx)6, and we get in 3bets (9k). We brick, (QQ)39T he catches (xx) 685, and we have to get it in. He has (A7) 685, for a low and a freeroll, and he does immediately get there with (A7) 8659, to knock us out

Shame. $2,500 big bet mix tomorrow, which should be a great one

Thanks so much guys.

Yes, very excited for the Big bet Mix today. I would say this is the best tournament, for people having very different levels of knowledge about the games!

The games are NL, PLO, PLO8 (hilo), 2 to 7 no limit, and then most intriguingly, no limit 5 card draw, and best of all, pot limit triple draw. The triple draw is crazy, and can play by far the biggest. I guess the best way of describing the tournament is to say that by far the most sensible game is no limit holdem!

Six handed, just started. Table very encouraging. Only 36 entrants so far , but presumably that will go up quickly

The other interesting game will be the no limit 5 card draw. Obviously, just hasn't been played at all since about 1972. But definitely interesting strategy wise, as there is the option to bluff with the number of cards you draw. The bluff would be to draw 2 (keeping 3), which would only logically imply that you've got trips.

Actually did the unlikely, and bluffed pre in no limit single draw.

German guy limps UTG at 100-100(100), and is told he has to raise. He raises to 200,and four call.

I have Qs 8s 2s 6c 4d, so am just going to have to snow (draw a fake number to imply strength), and would have to choose between snowing a "1" (implying two pair), or 2 (implying the stronger but less likely trips).

It feels like the 3bet should get through though, so I make it 2,000, and they all fold

Interesting field. There are 55 players ; I just looked around, and only recognise one player by sight, which is Matesow. That must be ridiculously unusual. I guess they're all turning up late

37k from 35k start

Wow. Doubled up. Not in the fashion I expected.

No limit holdem, Raise  Ad Kc to 500 on the button

Big blind 3bets to 2.2k. Call. Doesn't feel like I need to 4bet when we're 170 bigs deep.

At this point, I make a read which turns out to be hopelessly wrong. I decide 1) He looks like a good player (I think that remained true), 2) He is clearly a mixed game player, and 3) I. Didn't recognise him.

So I put those three things together to decide that one thing he wouldn't want to do is to look to run a Bluff in the only "non mixed game," which is no limit holdem. Turned out to be an awful read.

Flop is  Aspades Kh 5c. He bets 2.7k, I call.

Turn is Aspades Kh 5c 8h He bets 7.2k, i call.

This will leave almost exactly a pot sized bet.

River is Aspades Kh 5c 8h Ts.

He makes said pot sized bet, and it's enough to put me all in, for 23,200.

I don't call immediately. But I have to call. I think he has it (AK, AA or KK), and if so I chop with 4 combos, and lose to 2 combos. Funnily enough, if those 6 combos are his exact range, that actually gives me the exact correct (neutral EV) price to call. As in, if I were calling for a chop, I need to have that chop 66% of the time.  I actually don't love it, but I just have to call.

Read was hopelessly wrong. He has 7h 6h. Faded the 9 outer, then the 15 outer.

Up to 74k

He raises button, i defend and draw 1. He draws 2

Miss. Bet pot. He calls. I draw one, he pats. He's surely weak.

I miss again. Check. He bets 3.5k into 4.2k. He has 22k, so I'm able to raise to 13k to threaten his stack

He folds. 85k first break

Yuk, lost a 50k pot to Jake Schwartz. Felt really obvious he was going to do what he did

Pot limit triple draw, we are 1 vs 1 on the turn. I make 96542. He has 22k, pot is 8k. I bet 5.4k, and manage to get him to move in with 8654x. There are reasons to do it, but I think it's too thin given how thin he may well be drawing.

He has 7 outs, and hits a 3

Really weird no limit single draw pot.

Dealt 333 (qj) in SB. Massive hand. Cutoff raises, but looks self conscious and something is going on. Shaky hand.

Thing is, I have a big hand but am drawing so thin to improve that I can actually 3bet-fold.

I 3bet to 9k and he calls. I draw 2, he pats. I mean, that is really weird. He basically has to have a straight plus, and hasn't 4bet.

We don't improve. I check - fold. Can't be completely sure, it could be some sick snow. But I've sat with him all day, and it really doesn't feel like it.

Last hand could have got nasty. Raised aqj63 in Big O with 6 high diamonds on the button. SB called, Schwartz called BB.

Flop Qd Td 2d. Schwartz leads 7k into 9.5k. Obviously always a close one, in 5 card, but used a bit of a live read, that he was definitely getting tired, and bet pretty quickly without checking his cards. I folded, He had Ad 5d, and ended up getting 3 streets of value against the SB who said he had four diamonds

Won one in single draw.

Raise 3456(x) on the button. Big blind called, and drew 3 (I. E. He has one pair).

We miss, 3456A. He checks.

This is the game that everyone is trying to work out as they go along. I make it about 28% to improve to two pair or better qhnw you draw 3 to one pair. So, it feels like a Bluff from me has a good chance.

I bet 6k into 12k, and he folds

128k

No limit deuce to seven.

Won one vs Eli, 160k

Raise 932 (22) because of the blockers on the button. Eli calls and draws 1.

I draw 2, hand confirmed in the cookie jar.

I get lucky and make 98632. Eli bets 6k into 13k.

It's very close, I very likely should raise given the unlikelyness of getting there with a 2 card draw.

He actually helps a fair bit by giving a fun speech, and promising to show one card. This polarises him alot, and takes away the mid strength hands that I would want to value raise against.

I call, and he shows 77

Out. Gutted

I have 24k at 8kBB in 2-7 no limit, folded round to me in the small blind.

Move in with QT632. This is actually a hand where in theory all 3 options could be possible (pat, draw 1, draw 2)

He sighs and takes ages to call, and actually ends up having 8753(x).

This, (i'm 99% sure) is nothing but a fairly ridiculous nit roll, but it actually is inadvertently of massive benefit to him, as it convinces me he is drawing 2, and so I decide to pat the QT632, rather than draw 1 to the T632

He catches a J8753 to win. I guess if I had got the draw correct, I would have caught a jack and been 50/50 to win. But given the sigh and the tank, and the fact he hadn't played too nitty up to that point, it feels like patting is the right decision.

Great fun tournament, but a real shame to go

$10,000 razz

End of day, 42k

Well, that was fun, but a battle of a day. 2pm restart.

I guess we needed to win one of the two silly pots that went 4/5 bet pre for it to have been a good day.

Obviously a silly thing to say, as poker is the random result of millions of butterfly effects, but definitely feels a shame for the day's massive pot to have been created by a random cold call of a 5bet from a queen.

Anyway, let's go tomorrow

Good luck later Stu.  I have never really thought about razz too much, but that Q hand is intersting.  I'd never realise that I should be raising with 762, as it looks a bit of a marginal hand, but can see why you are right.  Definitely keep posting hands and ignore Marky please.   I think I need to do more work before spewing at 8 game/razz.

The HH’s are fascinating Stu. Please carry on doing them whenever they don’t get in the way of your progress in the comps - which is what I think Marky was getting at...

Don’t mean to derail, BUT.....
I’ve also been hooked on Negreanu’s vlogs since the beginning of this year’s WSOP, since he’s also offered quite a lot of insight into the games outside of NLH and PLO/PLO8 - although it seems he doesn’t always follow his own guidance. (Did he get his vlogging stick out whilst you shared his table?) His vlogs are interesting also on the premise that he seems to be ‘real’. Be interested in your take on him - is the enthusiasm for GG Poker real, for example?

Finally, Seidel. Great bucket list stuff with the bluff. You’re right though; for a relatively old guy, he’s still cool and revered in the poker community. I think of him as the Seinfeld of poker.....

GL today

Out, sadly. Not a fun way to go. Definitely disappointing in these 10ks, but just got to keep on going.

So, from the 29k, a brick wall of antes, down to 14k. Then we get (23)6, and actually the bets fly in on 3rd, and we are happy enough to be all in 4 ways.

We catch (23)66AT, and so are going to have a big sweat for a 70k pot. 2,4 or 5 required; a 7 will be 90% a winner, an 8 will be 80% a winner.

It's small... But its a 3. Two pair, no good

Definitely a lot more opportunity in this tournament than you would think. We just couldn't win two significant pots in a row

$3000 PLO six max

Seems good. Been at two tables so far, both nice.

Up to 48k from 40k starting stack.

Three significant pots :

1) 3 limps to me. I pot to 1,300 with  Kh Kd 7s 6s. All call

Flop overfull on Kc Qc Qd.

Checked to me, happy to just make an exploitative sizing, so I bet 4.2k into 5.7k. It should in theory be fairly obvious what's going on with that sizing, but only in theory, and they're not going to fold a Queen.

All fold

2) Raise Ac Jc 3d 2h UTG1, as the big blind is really nitty.  Button and big blind call.

Jh 4d 3c (Top and bottom)

BB checks, I bet 1.3k into 2.1k. Both call, fairly quickly.

Turn is Jh 4d 3c Ts. BB checks. Button called quickly enough on the flop, to skew it towards straight draws. Set of fours seems unlikely for either , set of tens should be very difficult to have for either. Some decent possibility that they would fold the hand one better than mine (J4), given that it shouldn't contain an open ender, as that would have been raised on the flop.

I bet pot (6.3k), and we get two folds.

Raise Jc Js 9c 7s from CO, BB calls

 Ahrt Kd 3d. BB checks

GTO I think is bet with 1 diamond, definitely with 2, and check with 0. Check

Ahrt Kd 3d Qs

Have to fire twice. Obviously for the blockers, but also the stronger range on that board.

Bet 1.3k into 2k, he calls.

Ahrt Kd 3d Qs 5c. Some very small significance that I can have that straight and he can't.

He checks, I bet 3.7k into 4.6k. Get it through

Sigh, nasty one

Russian raises to 1.1k on button on my BB from 12k.

I have  Ahrt Kd Th 9s. Think about raising, to get it in if needed here. He won't be folding. I just call - he will represent the flops that hit me, I may be able to represent the boards that I miss.

Kh Jc 6h (Top pair, top kicker, gutshot, nut flush draw). Standard check raise all in.

I check, he bets 2k, I raise the pot to 8.4k.

Definitely got slow rolled (clearly I have just moved all in) for about 10 seconds, which was bizarre.

He has 6s 6c 2d 2c, for bottom set.

12 outs twice


Turn is Kh Jc 6h Ks. Improvement to trips is a decrease in equity.

Miss the river, Kh Jc 6h Ks 3d

50k

Two Bluffs got through

(I keep on being dealt straight blockers)

John Shoreman limps at BB500, SB limps, we have 6s 6d 6h 5c in the big, and check.

Td 4h 3c. This is where our third 6 becomes useful, because of its blocking qualities. Shoreman bets 1.5k, Russian calls.

Raise pot to 8.3k. Get it through

Then, raise button with 7h 7c 3h 3c. Both blinds call.

Aspades 8h 5c. Checked around.

Aspades 8h 5c 4s. Checked to me, I bet two thirds pot, they fold

56k

Called  River, correctly, 67k

Russian raises UTG, i call  Ad Qd Jh Tc cutoff, BB calls.

Checked to river on 4s 4h 3s 9h 4d. Russian bets 4k.

Feels bluffy. Obviously (give or take the small worry that he may have bluffed with AK) I have one of the best bluff catchers, because of the blockers.

I call, and he has Jc 9s 8h 5d

Ah, I just can't hit anything. Raise 7s 6s 6c 4c button, both blinds defend.

Tc 5s 3s. Shoremqn leads BB for 5k into 6.2k. He'll have it, obviously.

Mammoth draw. Call

Tc 5s 3s 9c. Draw gets better. 26 outs to improve

He bets 15k. Depsite probably being a favourite, there's no need to raise. I can fold the river cards I miss, he may not be able to fold.

Call

Massive brick, Tc 5s 3s 9c Qh.

He moves all in, fold

Out first bullet, aces to aces.

This has been rough

Raise with  Ahrt  Ac Kh 5d to 1.8k. Active player who has done some strange things makes it 4,800 (always strange to not raise pot).

He has done this before and got it in with JT98. There's a very good chance he'll get it in, and actually not much of a chance he'll have aces.

Pot and repot, we get it in. He has aces.

He has  Aspades Ad Js 5c, and he gets there

Hmm. 65k

Raised AAT4 cutoff, button calls

Flop 955 rainbow. I bet 4k into 9k, he raises to 10,400

Turn is 955J, second heart. I have no heart. He has 40k into the 29k pot, and says "pot."

It definitely feels suspicious. Problem is, if I'm wrong I have two outs, and if I'm right, the turn card has probably given him a 9,13,15,17 outer etc.

I just about fold. Not sure

Out, sadly. Not nice

I have 60k at BB 1,200. I have rainbow Aces,
 Aspades Ahrt Tc 9h in the big. UTG1 makes it 3k, I pot to 9,800

Flop is Kc 7c 3h. SPR is 2.5, so it's close, but it's fine to get in Aces.

I bet 15k, he moves in. He has  Ad Jc Jh 6c (very much not a call pre).

He gets there on Kc 7c 3h Js 6s

11 outs, but feels nasty

Well, I guess I'm now leaving the Rio for the last time :(  (it's confirmed for Paris and Ballys next year)

1350 EUR Mini Main Event, WSOP Europe

Right, we are here. Via a flight to Munich, and transfer over the border. My hotel is actually in Germany (but ten minutes from the Czech casino), and getting to the small German town was the biggest post Vegas culture shock ever. On arriving and leaving, I didn't see a single person, and even when I got to reception, spent five minutes waiting in front of an empty reception desk.

Raced here for 4:30pm,and structure has been pretty good. Pretty much the same as the Vegas main, but two hour reduced to 40 minutes.

141,200 from 100,000 start so far.

Just had an interesting hand raising  Kc Kd UTG to
2.8k at BB1, 200. UTG2 3bet to 6.500. He had my 120k (100BB) covered

A small sizing, UTG2 vs UTG, and something was definitely going on, heart was beating fast. Obviously with Kings, you don't want them to be super polarised early vs early.

I did think about getting the 100 big ins, but just flatted.

Ts 5s 4c, I checked, he bet 5.8k, I called.

Ts 5s 4c 9d, I checked, he thought, and checked

Ts 5s 4c 9d 7h

I value bet 25k into 26.6k. He folded fairly quickly.

It still may have been AK, which would be a blunder from me pre (although we don't necessarily get it in), but not quite sure what happened there.

Down to 120k.

Ac 9c 4d. (second nut flush draw) I bet 5k, he calls.

Ac 9c 4d Ts (15 outs to nuts). I bet 11k, he raises to 30k.

He definitely has it. Need to hit. Call

Ac 9c 4d Tc 3h. Check, all in, fold

Sigh. There was definitely something going on, he seemed very comfortable with his hand as the flop and turn hit, but it's tough not to bet the 15 outer (given its a check-call if I do check)

Nice (half) bluff against same guy.

5d 4d 5c. I bet 7k, just the button calls.

5d 4d 5c 4h. Check, check

He checked quickly enough that it really felt like ace high.

5d 4d 5c 4h 3d. Everything got there. Feels like he doesn't have any of the everything.

If he has ace high, he folds for a small bet, so I bet 13k into 39k.

He folds

Out. Sigh

Had 170k. 42.5 bigs. New table, first hand. Woody raised UTG1 to 10.5k at 2k-4k (sizing definitely some small alarm bells). I have Qd Qs on the cutoff.

If there's no callers, it definitely feels like a flat.

Hijack calls.

Hmm, it's really close. I'm not going to squeeze-fold, unless something weird happens.

I make it 35k. Woody moves in, with almost exactly same stack.
I definitely don't love it. Plan was always to squeeze - call

When will it end.

A raise UTG at 6kBB, Italian guy 3bets to 32k

I have Qd Qs

He only has 112k (less than 19 bigs), so the non all-in feels very concerning.

He's Italian, so its random enough that I think it doesn't have to be Kings or aces

I move all in, and he calls with Jh Jc

Really pleased to have got it right. Please hold one time

Jd in the window

Jd 4c 2h 3d 9d

Everyone goes through the cards are against me periods, just need to make sure they don't last any length of time.   And though it is sunny here and life is good, you are still the one WSOPing, so it can't be too bad.  I really should get over there some time.

Been really quiet, but felt that it was a table where 1) you needed a hand, and 2)a hand would be paid off depsite me seeming a nit.

Ad Ac on Kh 6d 2d Th Tc (lovely river)

Basically bet 70% each street, bet 15k into 22.5k on the river, which was called

Length of tank said that the sizing wasn't far from right, but 18k would very probably have been called.

Now I have a real nit image (hardly played a hand, but played Aces), but will use it against the right players

Up to 120k, let's go

Holdem. 3bet  Aspades Js SB vs cutoff to 12k. Call

9s 7s 3c. I have 58k into 25k

Bet 8k to set up good turn size (and maybe some outside shot of him bluff raising)

Get there turn. 9s 7s 3c Qs

Check, check

9s 7s 3c Qs 8h

He should turn something like 66 or 67 into a Bluff, but I don't think he will. Therfore, the question is whteher there are enough hands he value bets. I think we're too shallow for a check to be the best EV move, so i bet 28k. Fairly quick call, probably could have got more, but think its the right size

Pulled a cheeky one. We're actually 6 handed for a moment, I have 9h 4c in the big. My image is fairly clean.

The two seats to me left have been battling. The first opens UTG to 4.5k, UTG1 three bets to 13k. "Guy playing every hand" has slowed down alot, but is now playing a few too many hands, and passively. He cold calls the 13k on the button

No blockers, but the spot is otherwise perfect. I make it 42k

Up to 240k,lets go

One gift from the deck, one 3bet bluff

"Too many hands" guy raises to 6.5k from cutoff on my big blind. We have  Ahrt Aspades. Button is all in for 53.5k.
I actually think its right, in just this case, to throw in the semi act, ask for a count etc, to try to get the cutoff to call behind. I call, he folds.

Button has Ac Jc, and we don't even suffer a sweat

Qd 9d 6s 4c 8h

Next hand, button raises to 6.5k from 80k. I have 9s 4h. My image is still good (I think at this kind of table it's never bad for image to have just had aces)

Make it 22k, and he folds. Didn't think I would be moving with the 94 off twice today, but timing happened to be right!

Raise Qd 5h from LJ on his blind

He slammed the table, looked frustrated and thought for 3 minutes.

Ultimately, he tossed a coin

Heads, he moved in

Fold. He shows Ks Kd

I genuinely think he was folding Kings if we "win the flip."

Standard overall is very encouraging. Think alot of top players didn't come. Seems to be a whole lot of middle aged German guys. If my German was a bit better, I  could fit right in

Not too much else has happened. Table has changed. Guy sat down with a million (and probable chip lead), and seems determined to put it into pots, especially in PLO. He already gave gave one 200k gift.

Other new played pulled a massive, random PLO bluff on A2422, repping a deuce, so it's going to veer towards a case of playing the cards. Route to the staller's big blind is blocked by the two splashy players in position on me.

Really frustrating moment. Need to make sure i get over it

Raise from HJ. He has 140k. We have Kd Qd in the SB. Going to 3bet and get it in. Staller stalls, and shows a King.

This at least changes a bit. I change my  3bet plan to call.

Q77 rainbow. Check, check

Q774 rainbow. I bet 23k, he raises to 59k.

It really really feels like he's bluffing. He has 60k behind. No need to move in to prevent the 3 outer

However, the potential 3 outer lands

Q774A. Check check

He has AJ sigh

1) shame to get 3 outered when he's fairly obviously bluffing

2) If the stalling guy doesn't show a King with four people left to act, I 3bet, and AJ presumably folds

210k

He says he's not folding pre, which I'm starting to believe. In which case, it actually saved me 60k rather than cost me. Frustrating thing to happen either way, surely anyone knows you can't show a card (and potentail key card) with four left to act.

OUT

Lost a ridiculous one. I normally beat myself up, but I like every decision to be honest.

French guy raises 22k at 5-10k. We have Ks 7s in the big.

(French guy turns out to have Kc Th)

Small blind calls. I decide to call.

Flop 9s 5s 4c

(second nut flush draw)

SPR of 0.8, small blind checks. Obviously, completely standard
move in for me

However, I think sometimes, where you still want folds, you can do a little better here than the standard ship, specifically against inexperienced players.

I feel that moving a chunk, but not all, of your stack in, can create a different psychology where they become more likely to fold. These kind of players, I feel, often are more likely to simply call the all in if faced with it, rather than have to put me all in, if I bet a chunk of my stack. There's a different psychology to it. It's also, obviously, an attempt to feign strength from me. It would be transparent against really sharp players, but that wasn't what we were dealing with.

So, I bet 28k, from my 50k

French guy calls. (ridiculously, what turns out to be KT off)

Sadly, my deviation from the standard plan turns out to change absolutely everything. I would have got it  through if I just move in. However, (I'm nearly) absolutely fine with it. I think the plan is right overall, and has shown a surprising amount of success in the past. There have been a number of times where someone has commented along the lines of "well I would have called the all in," to make me feel that it has weight. It just turned out the French guy is a different level of "inexperienced," and the 28k prompted him to make a call that he wouldn't have done to the all in..

9s 5s 4c 2d.

At this point, with 20k left, there's no hope to bluff. I may as well hope that if he does have ace high, I get two checks behind, and remain with 20k if I miss. It goes check check.

9s 5s 4c 2d 5h. Can't bluff, obviously. I check

This is the ridiculous bit. He now bets 15k (with what turns out to be a KT high bluff). We have 20k.

I think for a while, but I mean, getting 9 to 1, this is actually a really easy call. There's not much that checks the turn behind that has value now. There's obviously a horrible fear at this point that he's misunderstanding enough to turn ace-high into a Bluff. But he has enough bluffs (lower spades, 67, 87, and 86 that this has to be a call)

We call Ks 7s, and get the horrible news. He has (inexplicably, obviously) bluffed with KT high. It was always possible that he would bluff a "pointless bluff" hand, but I'm overall very happy with the call. Obviously, the massive decision (and the one that in reality did change it) was the decision to not simply move in on the flop. Saying that, he called the 28k quick enough that he may actually have called the all in on the flop.

That leaves me with only 2 thoughts :

1) Should I bluff the river, getting 11 to 2 on my bluff, given he looks like he has a lot of ace highs after he checks the turn behind? The fact he's completely random ironically means he might fold where a good player would call, but I don't think it's quite likely enough.

2) Rather than call the 15k and leave myself with 5k, should I actually move in for 20k, and hope he folds for the 5k? I think he always ends up calling with ace high. KT is the one hand that he may actually fold, but even then, it's probably unlikely enough that my "bluff" of 5k to win 130k doesn't have the long odds it requires.

So, I'm definitely happy with the river call. Good to know that he was bluffing, and I ran into the one part of his bluffing range where he misunderstands what's going on. The regret is potentially not realising just how cally he was, and that me betting 28k rather than 48k may have caused him to call KT high

That left me with 5k. Forced all in from small blind next hand with 6h 4s. No good

Great fun tournament. "Stalling guy" showing the King moment, and it transpiring to change the whole big pot vs Ian Bradley , was disappointing obviously, but all good.

Bookkeeping

1) First of all, massive props to Ian Bradley, for telling me he was aware of me giving my thoughts/plans on the updates. Plenty wouldn't have done.

2) Unfortunately, this may change things in the future. I'm sure it affected nothing this time, we only played that one pot, but in theory could do in the future with the people less scrupulous than Ian. Will keep updates to updates, shown down hands, all ins, and reviews after.

3) Cash was for 2971 EUR. At our exchange rate of 1.16, this is $3454. Total cashes so far therefore $3454+$4481= $7,935

4) 5k PLO event tomorrow

5000 EUR Pot limit omaha

The rejig of the schedule meant it became a 12pm start, so I got here in bags of time. And then, at 12 o clock, they decided to push it back to 2pm, as the total number of runners at that point was 4! That will go up of course , but I'm guessing it will be a short field. Guaranteed at 150k incidentally, but I think no hope of that guarantee being a mistake.

So yes, referring back to yesterday, definitely will be slightly careful about what kind of updates I give in running, given the theoretical chance of a table mate watching on. Also, promise to actually play some PLO today, which the Round of Each updates seemed to severely lack!

K324 rainbow. He checks, I bet half pot call


K324Q

He bets 32.5k into 50k

Goodness. I mean, obviously, this is a line that can't ever happen.

Really tough to find bluffs. Pure bluff would have to be like JT54. There are no other pure Bluffs. It really doesn't feel like he turns something into a Bluff. Overall a Bluff feels very unlikely.

So, what is he taking this line with? I mean, I guess a straight. He might think it's a good way to play A5, unaware that he can't be bluffing. Maybe it's an overplay of KQ. Queens albeit unlikely to find, does at least fit very well

Overall, its confusing, but just really tough to be a Bluff.

Well, we made day two! But not in the fashion you would hope Had to fold every hand. 73k. Coming back at 4k-8k tomorow.

A record breaking 10am start tomorrow!

Post by: easypickings on November 28, 2021, 05:21:51 AM
It's the unprecedented 10am start, and  I've still managed to wake up far too early.

Well, we may be playing the 2.5k Short Deck (1pm start) today, but obviously hope not to be!

However, on, let's say, the off chance that we are, here is a quick summary of Short Deck:

- Sometimes called 6+ holdem, the deuces through fives are taken out of the deck.
- The one change in hand ranking is that a flush beats a full house.
- Any single out becomes more likely to hit. This gives better equity drawing to a straight or a house.
- The one draw that this negatively affects is to a flush, as a flush draw now has only 5 outs, rather than 9. (Hence, a flush beating a full house)
- Almost all equities run closer. 66 is in better shape vs KK, AK is in better shape vs AA, JT is in better shape vs AK and vs AA
- Every player antes. Limp-raising all-in is very much a thing.
- Blockers become more key, as they occupy a higher percentage of the deck

Anyway, let's hope none of that is relevant. Day 2 of the PLO starts at 10am

The toughest moment yet

145k at 1500 ante

UTG opens to 2x (6k). He's a complete open book. He's limping all his strength, and raising small with all his mid strength, in an effort for him to not have to face a raise.

One call from a splashy player, folds to me. I have Ks Kd. I should move in, but no need for balance. We know he's not strong, he may do something foolish, or the splashy player may call out of position. I 3bet to 26k

He does. He moves in. Call. He sighs. He has 9d 9c. 300k pot.

Js Jd Tc. Safe-ish

Js Jd Tc 8d. Please please no

Js Jd Tc 8d 7c

The only consolation is that I got things right after the earlier blows, but the lowest one of all came

I don't think I've ever walked away from a poker room feeling so gutted.

Blind on blind at BB800, limp Td 8s. Italian big blind checks.

Th 9s 4h. I check, he bets 800, call.

Th 9s 4h 7c. I bet 2k into 4k, he calls

Th 9s 4h 7c  Ahrt. I check, he bets a big 7,100 in 8,000

These were my thoughts, in no particular order :


- His sizing fits very well with turning a made hand into a bluff. He is only repping a flush. This is, however, fine, as he never has Aces up anyway. Given his pre flop check, the Ace is the most likely heart to give him a flush.

- He may have an 8 for a missed straight draw, although the only 8's without a pair or straight are K8, Q8, 85, 83, 82. He may have QJ (and less likely KQ or KJ), but would at least sometimes have raised those pre.

- What hands would he turn into a Bluff? Maybe up to any 9, J7 or 87, and 84? However, at this point, poker necessitates stereotypes, and in the absence of other information, I would suspect an Italian of turning a made hand into a bluff less than I would, say, a German.

- Turn call was fairly quick.

- My line looks fairly strong. He may, incorrectly but understandably, in fact decide that I was only repping two pair or a straight on the turn.

Overall, I decide its just about a fold.

37k first break

Thanks so much Tom. I wouldn't take mine as the learning point of mentality and character :)

Although, I guess I am managing the combination of being focused in game, and then feeling like you could knock me out with the feather every day as I leave the casino. Not to complain, it's incredibly lucky to be able to play this tournament schedule. But it is  all slightly bizarre, as I walk back into the Rozvadov snow, and then taxi back to this strange German town where I have still only seen one person outside. The same German man, who goes past on a scooter with his dog  alongside him every day. This could be Groundhog Day 2.

Regarding the variance discussion, when it comes to analyzing results for online poker I would say you need to have at least a 5k+ sample of MTTs for the last two year period for it to be relatively accurate and worthwhile reviewing, but even a 10k+ sample over that period is far from conclusive. Smaller samples can still have some relevance but anything below 1k online MTTs is close to meaningless. So whilst expected ROI’s will differ live vs online which will affect the variance we should expect to experience, and I definitely don’t know a huge amount about variance in live poker, it's pretty absurd to think about what the variance can be like live and I'd expect it still would be considered "standard".

As others have said updates have been great, thanks for sharing, and glglgl with the grind.

Thanks so much Mondatoo. You're right, and agree on the numbers regarding sample size. It's funny; because its live poker, it feels so much more empathic, but if you put this run together over, say, two consecutive Sundays, you wouldn't blink too much, apart from to think "standard but slightly miserable run." Toss a coin, wanting heads, a thousand times, and this is just one of the normal looking TTTTTTHTTTTTH runs.

Young guy, potentially Eastern European, raises button to 1k at 300BB. SB folds, i call Qs 8d

Qd 5s 2s. He bets a (big) 1,500 into 2,400. Call

Qd 5s 2s Jh. Check. Fairly quick check.

Qd 5s 2s Jh Ks. Check, he bets 4.5k into 5,400

Its obviously a really bad card for my range. Queen of spades is useful, but only to a limited extent, as Queen High spades is probably one of the spade combos he bets turn with anyway.

Sizing seems to rep a straight plus (in this environment), and the restricted range is obviously good news when i have a pure bluff catcher (would be bad news if i had, say QJ).

Flop sizing does concern me a bit, but quick turn check seems to let down his repping of a flush.

I call. He mucks

Puke

Button raises. Young German guy. Talking strategy. On the previous hand, he has done something strange and creative - blind on blind, floated my flop raise out of position with T-high on A72T4, and then turned second pair into a bluff on a flushing river (this either brilliant or bizarre play, along with talking strategy, turns out to be completely crucial)

He raises button to 800. We have  Ad Ahrt in the small, and make it 2,600. He calls

Kh Jh 8h. I bet 2,800, he calls

Kh Jh 8h Tc. Ugly card. I check, he bets 7,100 of his 19,800.
Standard call.

Kh Jh 8h Tc Ac. Hmm. Obviously no value bet for me. Check.

He moves all in for 12,700 into 25,600

Ok, so

1) Clearly I beat none of his value. This is a really easy, and standard, fold against everyone else on the table

2) This whole thing hinges on whether he is turning 2 pair into a Bluff. He should know that anything KJ or worse (almost all the 3 pairs) just aren't winning here. He should consider turning them all into a bluff (as well as any pair with a 9). Even for strategy talking German guy, however, its not a given that he will turn these hands into a Bluff. If he's not turning 2 pair into a Bluff, this would be a really bad call.

3) There just  aren't too many flushes he can have, given I have the Ahrt. However, his preflop call was fairly quick.

4) Of course he value bets all his Queens. However, I block AQ and it feels like his check behinds on the turn are surely KQ, and probably QJ

The previous T9 float, and more so the turning of second pair into a bluff onto the river, i think swings it. Really, given the pot odds, there doesn't need to be much chance of him turning something into a bluff to make this a call.

I Call. He has Th 7h

26,500

Its funny. As he was talking strategy after his previous float and creative river bet, I thought, you probably shouldn't be doing this, it really can change alot, on what is otherwise a fairly face up table. It did change alot;  it convinced that that he was the one seat that might do some creative things. But, sadly, he had a flush

Gone, sadly

Jd Js with 25,800 on button at 200-400(400).

It's the same guy. I think at this point he's Swiss, for whatever difference that makes. He opens cutoff to 1k

He raises cutoff to 1,000. I'm not thrilled in this tournament at this table to get in 65 bigs. I don't think he gets in tens. However, the 4bet bluff is definitely possible from him, and we pick up so much if this does go 3bet-4bet-fold.

I 3bet to 2.9k, he 4bets to 7.2k. Im all in, he calls.

He has Ac Kd. Not the desired outcome, but i think the get in is right vs him. (sounds nitty to contemplate that, but this tournament is playing differently)

It's the window card

Aspades 8c 4c Th 3d

Sigh. On one hand, definitely doubting the Aces river call. On the other, it's top set into flush, and a lost race

No.... I managed to write a long hand update and then the connection drop. May have to focus at this incredible table now, but basically

- re entered, doubled up 3rd hand
- was bizarre. Italian opens, German cut off 3bets. We cold call Ac Kd. Italian 4bets, German snap calls. Wow. I tank. Make a rare live read as Italian guy seems to feign strength by grabbing for a lot of chips. We effectively move in, by moving 65% of stack in. Live read is, even more rarely, right. Italian folds
-German snap calls. Wow. Flop K74. Beautiful.
- I may as well trap check, probably twice.
- He moves in AQ

No.... I managed to write a long hand update and then the connection drop. May have to focus at this incredible table now, but basically

- re entered, doubled up 3rd hand
- was bizarre. Italian opens, German cut off 3bets. We cold call Ac Kd. Italian 4bets, German snap calls. Wow. I tank. Make a rare live read as Italian guy seems to feign strength by grabbing for a lot of chips. We effectively move in, by moving 65% of stack in. Live read is, even more rarely, right. Italian folds
-German snap calls. Wow. Flop K74. Beautiful.
- I may as well trap check, probably twice.
- He moves in AQ
- We hold

80k

Even you will struggle to get beat in that spot!  Made me chuckle the 'we hold'.  Kick on posh boy.

This is almost definitely the best table in the room. Of 5 3bets, 4 have been cold called, mostly within 0.37 seconds

The lineup

1) Italian guy, has cold called 3 3bets already
2) Italian guy, just called off A8 for 26k. Won
3) German guy who called off the AQ vs us
4) Guy in Fenerbache shirt, who i think is actually sensible
5) Me
6) Guy kitted out in  full PSG merchandise. Which is quite a strong image, given that the entire club of PSG is, in itself, a bluff.

There were a number of things that you hope will happen at this rare kind of table. They just never really seem to. However, this time, it actually did.


Italian seat 2 raises to 1.2k. 2 calls. AK off in Big. Squeeze to 5.2k

Really feels like he's moving in with tons. He does, for 28k.

He has Kd 4d. Lucky, given his holding is not far from random, that we find him with a dominated one.

We hold

You know its a high quality table when someone has moved all their chips in 9 of the last 13 hands, and it hasn't prompted any table talk.

75% of the tables in the room it would lead to some kind of comment ; 20% it would lead to utter disbelief.

Im at the same table 151 as all the characters earlier, but none of them are

Nice

Finished 335k. Average 235k, 91 left, 81 in the money

Had dropped to 182k, then won a big one

Young Italian guy raised UTG1 to 9k at BB4k, good GTO guy flatted button from 28 bigs.

I have Ahrt Kh in the big, and 182k.

Obviously I have to play to get someone to 4bet all in.

I squeeze to 38k

Young Italian guy thinks for ages. Feels like he has something borderline, but kind of knows he should fold.

He calls, button folds

Kd 7d 2c. Beautiful. I play 144k into 95k

No need for balance. Lose a customer too much if i bet. I check, he checks

Kd 7d 2c 2h. Beautiful. The question is now, what pairs does he have? I think a reasonable average guess is that 88+ goes in pre.

Still feels like i lose him too much if i bet. I check, he bets 27k into 95k, I call.

Kd 7s 2c 2h Ks. I had been planning to check the river, but this changes alot. Now, I feel, although i shouldn't that i can get called by A-high. Clearly, all pairs probably call too. I bet 80k rather than move in. We get a tank call

335k coming back tomorrow, 10 off money

Right, another early start, here we go for day 2. 335k, 91 left, 81 in the money.

Table draw, according to Hendon mob, doesn't look too bad. Never want to see the word "Germany" on your left, and Norbert Baumgartner may be the most German name I have ever heard. He has me out chipped, but all good.

Yesterday was alot of fun, and (clearly) we got lucky. Firstly, with the table draw, but the two spots where i "caught" someone, we were lucky to survive them both. AK beating Kd 4d and the AK holding against Js Ts was the crucial pot of the day.

6 minutes, let's go

Thanks so much guys, it means alot.

Sorry the updates were shorter today. Obviously, they were rapid fire so that I didn't miss a single bit of the action

No real regrets. Definitely not from the dip that we had, which ended in a standard exit hand.

Actually, today's disappointment is that we missed the 2k 8game registration by 12 minutes! Seems really frustrating for them to randomly close registration after 4.5 hours, which is totally out of sync with the equivalent events in Vegas, and the lower buy in holdem events. I genuinely think it might just be human error, and they meant for 9 hours rather than 9 levels. I tried to beg my way in, but to no avail!

So, I wrote a list of all the things to do on a Winter Wednesday afternoon in Rozvadov and the surrounding area. Here is the list in full :

455 EUR satellite for a 10k seat.

Into the satellite we go

Table looks good, as hoped.

The fields overall have been strange. Average age much higher than usual (aided by my presence, obviously)

From a British point of view, it would seem that almost no one has made it across. Which is not completely surprising given Covid, but the extent of it still a little surprising. And i think the smaller amount of regs holds true for most countries.

Seat 9 at the start said to everyone "good luck, but most of all, have fun," which seems like wise advice.

100k start, start at 100-300(300), 7 90 minute levels, for quite a long day

(think at the moment it feels completely safe to share hands)

Hands are playing strangely. This actually feels alot like the Vegas Main Event. Already some discussion on surviving til day 2 (just 10h 15 minutes to go!), and so on

Raise 7c6c cutoff at 300BB. Small blind calls. Really feels like he doesn't want to be in this hand. This could mean alot of things (and ultimately i think may well mean he had Kings)

9d 8h 3h. Slow check. I bet 700 into 1,700, call

9d 8h 3h Kc. Slow check. I bet 1,700 into 3,100

Hes acting bizarrely, and after a long tank, actually min raises to 3,400

Potentially I'm meant to do something mad here, I'm not sure. I think at this point, this is sometimes a set, but also could be a bizarre way to play a hand like Jacks.

I ultimately decide to call. If i hit, especially the 5, i guess o can attempt the 10x pot over bet all in, so there is definitely strong value in playing passively.

We miss the river, 9d 8h 3h Kc 4d

He seems more comfortable, and bets 6,600, which actually leads me to believe it may well have been Kings

Actually an interesting change in the table. It feels like, now 3 players simultaneously realised that it was a passive table, and worth trying to run over. Which has ironically result in them trying too hard (we've just seen a cold four with 77), and making it very much not a passive table.

101k, approaching first break

An interesting side note : the guy to my left who started off saying "most of all have fun," and other recreational banter, actually turns out to be quite the shark, and is having his picture taken. I think the fake "oh we're all just here to have fun, and try to make day two" can very much be a thing.

112k

I had been fairly quiet, and, just through circumstance, actually raised four hands in a row (others were 2d 2c, Ac Qd, and Ks Ts,and made an overall small loss in inconsequential pots)

The overall feel of the table is that the depth of stacks means that chips can be used to speculate with. This has led to some aggression, but actually more to call downs.

Raise Qc Jc UTG1 to 1k at BB400. UTG3 calls

6c 5c 2h.  I bet a small 800, he calls quickly.

(the quick call I think takes away from the chance of flush draws, and i think monsters)

6c 5c 2h 7c. We get there. I decide to bet a big 3.5k into 4,400

Thinking at this point is that he is split fairly well between big hands (primarily 76 and 89),and hero call downs. Hero call downs are reasonably inelastic to bet size (as in, just as likely to call big bets than small). And, of course, the big hands will have to call down. So, two big bets now seem to fit.

Slow call

6c 5c 2h 7c Th. Lovely blank.

I decide to bet 10k into 11,900, and we get a tank call

118k

Spicy one.

There's a raise to 1,500 UTG. Player two to his left, in Gucci gear, who couldn't look more Italian if he tried,  3bets to 3, 300. Guy on his left cold calls.

We have Ahrt Kh on the button. This is a not untypical pot at our table, but there is alot going on here:

1) The 3x UTG raise is actually untypically big for his sizing. However, we are in a new blind level

2) The Gucci guy 3bet is definitely small.

3) The cold call, from the way he has played so far, will be reasonably strong, but will be capped.

Overall, it can't wrong to make it 10,000.

Just the Italian calls. Big pot. He does that quick "rasp" check of his cards, which maybe indicates suited or pocket pair.

Td 4d 2c. He checks.

The thing is, he can definitely have AK, and we can get him off it. It also should (may or may not be, but should) be difficult to call even a flop bet with, say, pocket nines

I bet 11k into 26,100, and we get the fold.

Two hands later, raise Qd 9c from the Hijack. Steady button calls, Italian calls big blind.

9c 5d 5h

I bet 1,600 into 4k; the button player raises to 4,200.

It's interestingly small. Some thoughts to maybe try to get him off A9 begin now. However, I call.

9c 5d 5h 5c. Check. He checks. Good news. He's going to have a 9 alot.

9c 5d 5h 5c 6h

I think I may have to go for the demi-bluff, to get him off a 9. Sizing would be something 17k into 11k. My thoughts :

1) I look strong. He will probably (and correctly) think that I would play aces the same way, and would play the (albeit unlikely) quads the same way.

2) The small flop raise and turn check behind fit very nicely with him having a 9.

3) If I'm hopelessly wrong (which I have been known to be) and he decides I can have AK or AQ, then inadvertently i have created a merge, and may undeservedly get lucky and get value from 77 or 88. All in all, with him probably capped, it can't be  too far wrong to bet my 9.

4) However, there is some small worry about pocket tens, and of course a smaller one about 66 for the rivered better house

I decide to go for it, and bet the 1.5x pot bet of 17k.

We get a fold, and the tank suggests that maybe a 9 did go into the muck

Sigh

Raise Th 9h cutoff. Big blind calls, big blind is the only really passive player, only one who has done zero out of line

Jc 9d 7d

He checks, I bet 1,100 into 3.2k. Call

Jc 9d 7d 8d

He checks, i bet 3.8k into 5.4k. Call

Jc 9d 7d 8d 6c

This is close. He's been passive, but not overtly tight. It does bother me a small bit that he hasn't rechecked his cards at any point (more likely suited). He should, however, have alot of 2 pair combos, and can well call with them

I bet 8.2k into 13k

Its a mistake

He says "raise," and then says "20 thousand."

Even before the declaration of "raise," and the small sizing, I would be utterly amazed if this is a Bluff. Fold

Maybe river was wrong. Should potentially go with small sizing, even though that should be transparent, aiming for the crying two pair call, and losing less against a flush.

Interesting thing about these long, well structured events (i.e this and Vegas main event) is that a lot of people I think bring an overly extreme attitude to day 1, which veers far too much either towards "I must make absolutely sure I survive," or "I must make sure I win as many chips as I can."

After an eventful start, the table has calmed down a fair bit, and so have my interesting hands. Haven't made anything, 92,00,but all good. Still feel that one big pot may define the day, and that it may well be against the Italian

55,300, end of day.

Well, thus ends one of the most uneventful 10 and a half hours of poker that I have ever played. Didn't see a pair better than sixes, which is quite spectacular.

Think I'm kind of pleased with the stack in the circumstances, but obviously the circumstances count for nothing when you open your bag on Sunday :) Disappointing day

There were just a couple of pots against the Italian that I may have changed, as he then bluff-blew up spectacularly soon after them, indicating that very possibly something was going on in them.

Anyway, I'll have alot of time to think about it. Day off in Rozvadov tomorrow :( :)

Right, going back to day two, which starts at 10am. The good structure means that we don't necessarily need something quickly, but we definitely need something.

I'll go back whenever I bust, and Covid pre-departure tests start 4am Tuesday, so I very much hope to face the complications of that!

Raised CO with Kc Th, took it.

Raised UTG to 3,800 with Kh Qc. Italian calls button. SB player, who looks good, squeezes to 21k.

I have 60k, so I can only have fold equity against a Bluff. It's not impossible he's messing around, but obviously having raised UTG and it being the first time he has put chips into the pot, I can't realistically do anything about it.

52k

Ad Ks 8s.

I bet 4k into 11.6k. He calls

Ad Ks 8s 4d. I check, he bets 11k into 19.6k. Call

Ad Ks 8s 4d 5s. I check.

Long tank from him. If he goes for it, it would be a spot that feels an easy fold vs some, but I would have to do some big considering against him.

He checks, and AT is good

Spicy table

Schemion and the Italian get into a long staredown/banter fest. Schemion triple barrels QJ828, with a big 55k on the river, and the Italian absolutely snaps him off. And is correct.

Hmm, big decision, not the kind you expect

66k and Ac Jd in the big blind. Blinds 800-1600(1600)

UTG +1, who seems fairly inexperienced, raises.

But he raises to 15,500! (3 5k chips and a 500 chip). He immediately looks shocked, and says something. I don't catch it, but obviously it must be an acknowledgement that he has thrown in the wrong chips.

Big decision. First question is, what is the chance that this is all genuine? I decide that I'm 80% that it is. The miss click of course fits with trying to make it 3,500, and confusing the 1k chips with the 5k chips. Of course, the other big factor is that, if this were an angle, it probably would be with only one hand. Not even Kings. And I block half of the combos of that hand.

Very possibly I should go for this. But with it being UTG1 raise, and some small chance of an angle, I just about back out

An aside to this is that this hand (even in the likely event that this is all genuine and the guy has never angled in his life) is further damage of the angle shooters. The possibility of angle shoot lies in the air thanks to the unscrupulous behaviour of some, and confuses this hand, even though the action probably is genuine.

Had slid a little, but had Ahrt Ad on the Hijack last hand. Raised to 4k at 1k-2k

Button (guy who misclick raised) and old gent in the big blind call.

Qc 7d 3c. Nice and clean

Actually decide to bet a big 10k into 15k. Big blind calls

Qc 7d 3c 2h. Nice and clean

Two streets feels relatively unlikely, but I still have to go for it. In the absence of any other reason, I just go geometric, which is 17.5k

Right, sorry for the delay. The one bit of run good is that it's just possible to squeeze in a flight back to Birmingham tonight.

So, yes, it's probably just a standard big cooler, but worth going through.

I had actually got up to 175k. On the previous hand, I had collected what felt like the right two streets (turn and river) of value and sizing vs the Italian with Ac Th on Ad Jh 4d 5c 6h.

So, the peak of 175k was feeling great. Its my 3k big blind, Schemion raised to 6k under the gun. The button, a good Russian, calls. I have Ahrt 7h, and call. My one regret is potentially to not have squeezed (I knew I was very overdue to 3bet the Russian and had a very clean image vs him). However, you don't squeeze in order to avoid a flop cooler, and he may well have called anyway, so it's probably a moot poont.

Flop is Ac 7d 4c. We have 169k into 22k. Didn't love it at any point, but I mean, I guess it's as simple as we get it all in, unless something bizarre 3way happens

I check, Schemion actually bets a large 17.5k. Russian calls. I guess, if there were any other way of playing the hand, then the slightly unusual large bet just ended it, as there is now 57k in the middle, and it's 57k that I'll likely now take. No other way to play my hand for value but to raise now.

I make it 70k. Sizing feels kind of clumsy, and looks like I probably have top two or better, but obviously I am repping a range which can contain the pair plus flush draw, or straight draw plus flush draw.

Schemion folds, Russian thinks for 20 seconds, and is all in. I don't love it, but I have to call, this is a 375k pot. There are 2 remaining combos of the dream (A4 suited), 1 combo of the split, 4 combos of the sets, but obviously he could have 9c 7c, 7c 6c, 8c 7c, 5c 6c, or maybe 8c 6c.

I'm not convinced he would play those draw hands like this, as it does look like I'm calling, but they have so much equity that it can't be far wrong for him, if he does have those hands, to hope for a small amount of fold equity to go along with his substantial drawing equity. Equally, I'm slightly surprised that he didn't raise his set of fours vs Schemion given the wetness of the board.

There's no other way any of my actions, and I call. You know the bad news just in the way a good player turns over his cards.

No miracle on Ac 7d 4c Kh Qh.

End of package

Well, it feels like about a year ago that I went down the M40 on an early rainy November morning, excited for the first day that America was re-opening.

Thanks so much for, all the time since then, all the support and messages. I'll be honest ; the overall result is very disappointing, and some moments (partly aided by the walk back into the soullessness of Rozvadov) have been tough. However, at every point, I realise how lucky I am to be able to play such an exciting schedule, and, a couple of moments aside, the whole thing has been a ton of fun.

It's all the more enjoyable being able to share it on here, and to hear from everyone on here. Walking out of the casino felt like a low point, but there's no option but to go back to the hard work - back to PIO, back to Odin, back to Vision, back to coaching. And, depsite feeling a bit exhausted right now, it won't be long til Vegas rolls around again. See some of you there, and if not, on here!
