Ok so played the $10k PLO yesterday.

Short Version: Busted 2 levels before the end of the day

Longer Version:

We started with 30k in chips, 10k of which was automatically in play and the other 20 in 2x rebuy chips. I stuck with my usual strategy of just playing with the initial 10k. I think the value of doubling up the extra 20k is much less than having extra lifelines if you get coolered/out drawn etc with your 1st bullet

People on my table I recognised were Doc Sands, Sorel Mizzi and Ben Lamb (who was on my direct left). There were a couple of very weak players on the table, one quite weak player and a couple of online sorcerers who for the most part stayed completely motionless with an extremely confused/constipated expression for the entire day. My 1st significant pot played out when I called a raise with AAxx and Sorel squeezed allowing me to get enough in to repot and get headsup against his AKQx and hold all in on Qxx flop.

I was on around 20k when the next big hand happened. One of the weaker players limped in late position and I limped behind with AAKQss. Ben Lamb was on the button so I was hopeful of him isolating. If I had done it myself I didn't think there would be much chance of anyone else reopening the betting as I'd been playing quite solidly thus far. Ben did isolate and when both blinds calls along with the original limper I was able to repot to 6,800. Ben was the only caller and we got all in on the KTx rainbow flop. He had JT75 and I held to get to 45k + my rebuys

From here everything was very comfortable and I fancied my chances of a deep run. The next significant pot was at 250/500 when a young player opened from mid position and I called with KK73hh from the sb. Brian Rast who had now replaced Ben Lamb called in the BB. The flop came K98dd. I checked, Rast bet around 2,400, the other player called and I called. With so many draws out and with everyone being deepstacked I didn't think raising here was a good option. The turned paired the 8. I checked, Rast bet again around 6,200. The other player folded and I called. The river was a blank 3. I checked and Brian bet 30k with 7k behind. I had 47k. With him being such a good PLO player I didn't really like this bet. I know he will think I'm housed up (or at least an 8 ) when I call the turn and I didn't think he would be betting anything less than 99 this aggressively. If we had been deeper stacked I would have just called because I know he's not going to call much more with worse but with only 7k behind I put the extra in and he obliged with 88xx. He actually didn't snap the extra 7k and so for a few seconds I thought I was good, just to add to the pain.

One of those painful hands where the turn card that you're praying for is the one that will actually cost you the most. Oh well.

From their I grinded my short stack without many chances to get it in. I eventually found one when action was folded to Doc Sands on the button to my BB. His opening in this position so far had been 100% so when he raised again and the small blind called my AT76 with nut clubs looked more than enough to get my last 10bb in. He thought for a whlie and repotted all in (as I was hoping he would). The small blind was a weak tight player who had about 25bb. I was surprised when he decided he also wanted to call all in.

Doc sands had QT75 against which I was in great shape, but the small blind had AQK9. I lost to both hands in any case.

Always a bit gutting to go out of this one but on to the next one as they say. Happy with how I played which is what matters I guess. Am updating all events on twitter for those who are interested in more timely updates

Thanks  

Karl
