For Woodsey, Miss Hoang seated to my immediate right.

She got into a raising war first hand with seat 4.

Board came J-2-2-5-4.

Both showed A-A-3-10.

WAL.

Seat 7 looks fine to me.

Scenes at our table.   It is the end of the re-entry period and big blind, who has a 25k stack and has been drinking, announces that he is shoving them all in blind.  I get AKJ8ds.   Figure I have to go.for it.   Button 3 bets me, big blind tries to go all in blind.  He hasn't looked, I was watching him like a hawk.   He is limited to 19k.  I have to fold??   Button flips over AA3x.

Button shoves, big blind announces he is going to do him with a set of .  First two cards he flips over are .  

Flop comes down all high, turn misses, river 9.  

AA fella left with 3 or 4k is the only one with a straight face.   Of course he can't even re-enter.

I have about 50k, as does the lunatic

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Busto.

Find a great spot with..... two hearts

There's a limper and I make it 3,500. Deep stack behind flats and opener calls, so 11,000 in the middle already, and I have 10,500 behind.

Flop.....

 

They both check.

Well we have top and bottom and so this is deffo the spot.

All-in.

First fella calls, other lad folds.

On their backs, and I'm in for a pleasant surprise, he is in real bad shape with A-Q-3-4, though we could do with the runner runner low missing.

The turn was a dagger to my heart, the only good high card for him really - the Q to catapult him to the lead. Literally the worst card in the deck, or nearly so?

Now I have to catch a K to beat his Q or a J for Broadway, but I miss both.

What a bummer.

Unlucky Toni

Loving the updates .
It’s that tournament I normally base my trip around and I’m almost certain I’ve played it 9 of the last 10 years ( 10th being the one where I did my back in the day before I fly )

See you both in it next year , but for now good luck doobs !!!

Just ran my exit hand through an odds calculator, on the flop I am 85% to win the high and 68% to scoop, so I have 75% equity. He is 17% for the high and 17% for the low so has 25% equity. What a cruel card that Q was. Pot was around 30,000.

Not that it helps, but I sort of feel better for knowing that.

Was the right spot and I played it fine. My problem, as always, was motoring with a low stack, meaning I have to win any all ins.

Tried all afternoon and evening to find the breakthrough hand to get me to 30/40k, but it was always one step forward and one step back.

Disappointed, obv, but I played to the limit of my abilities all day and was pretty unlucky not to win that hand.

Night all.

Just can't find that break through coup



Will have to get lively now, and can't afford to make more than one mistake.




. Just need to find that break-through hand

Still need that breakthrough hand though.



Can't just sit here,




It should be fun for you  - Vegas and PLO, sounds like heaven.

Just play your cards and have fun.Don't keep putting pressure on yourself by looking for breakthrough hands.It's Omaha , the beats are gonna happen,embrace it.
