WCOOP - Razz, Stud, etc

[redsimon]

Just to be transparent about the stake:

Last night I was contacted by someone I play live against most weeks, who asked about taking some of the remaining four games. This afternoon he said he would like 5%, I said fine and he transferred the $. Later I saw that Sunny had asked on here for some of the final four games and I offered him the rest.

I also sold this stake on the APAT forum, which was off-line tonight. When it came back up, I saw that two guys I know, and who have staked me before, had each asked for 2.5% of the final three games this morning, but I hadn't seen their posts until tonight. They asked before Sunny and he asked before the local guy confirmed.

I kind of feel obliged to all of them, so I intend to accept them all and close the stake. This means that 55% would be sold rather than 50% for the final three games, which changes the stake slightly from what was offered. I suspect that no-one really cares about that, but better to explain it, I guess.

Nice to be popular

Just win us loads of $ please!

It hasn't been easy.

[MintTrav]

Just to show that they're not all stars and there are less insightful players in this as well. I don't know how he gets to 7th. He must know I'm ahead. Okay, I'm not ahead, but he has junk and it looks like I'm strong.

Break. Registration has closed at 576 players.

Currently 249/366.

[MintTrav]

Out. Lost plenty when it was folded to me in PLO Hi-Lo and I raised from the Button with AK27. SB reraised (with AA34). Got a low draw, with a possible scoop, but missed. The rest went soon after.

Not much more to say about it. Strangely, every player from my starting table is now out.

[Free_Rollin]

I've transferred the funds to your Stars account. Thanks and good luck!

[MintTrav]

Razz

Currently 133/290. Two hours in and I've been up and down. Haven't ever been below average, but I was up to 20th, then back in the pack, then hit 14th, then back down. Not sure there was much I could do about the ones I lost - Razz can be quite swingy.

[MintTrav]

FFS, this is ridiculous. Started with the best hand and got chips in way ahead on 3rd and 4th five times and bricked out with pictures while they picked up low cards every time. I don't mind being outdrawn my fair share, but this has been every time.

[MintTrav]

3rd break - closed at 343 runners. Now 137/295.

Second Chance - just 66 runners. Currently 55/66, though that is only 1300 chips below the starting stack of 7500, so we're not in as bad shape as the position suggests. Lost chips mainly due to this hand. Some people just don't know what is a good hand and what they should be dumping, but sometimes they get there:

[MintTrav]

aDrENalin710 did win two events in this year's SCOOP, the 2-7 Triple Draw M and the HORSE H, so maybe he should get the benefit of the doubt, though I'm still not impressed with how he played that hand.

[MintTrav]

Main - 162/201

2C - 51/53

Got to the heights of 23rd in the 2C and then played a big pot for someone else's life, that would have put me 15th if I won it, but I dropped to 45th instead and then lost a bit more.

I'm tired of being outdrawn. Gonna play live for the rest of the week.

[MintTrav]

- Won pots in both - 69/184 and 38/45. Not that stunning, but better than we were.

- Now 62/167 and 18/35!

- 44/148 and 15/22. It's getting close in the 2C - 12 get paid.

- Won a pot against Chad Brown. 38/134 and 16/17. It's not over in the 2C tho - I have 12k and 12th is on 21k.

[MintTrav]

Gone from the 2C, four places off the cash. Goes without saying that his hand was miles behind and he backed into a winner.

5th break - 66/108 in the Main.

I was 44/92 a few minutes ago, but lost a lot with 34A6. Paired the 4 and 6 and ended up with K-high. Down to 67/87.

48 paid.


Had to race for my life but hand held up for once. 57/72.


6th break. 57/65 - it's looking like another painful ending.

[MintTrav]

Ow. Stupid game.
