SCOOP 2014 - Razz, Stud, etc

[MintTrav]

Stud Hi-Lo

1st break. M: 6.5k. L 2.2k.

21/326 in M, but nowhere in the L.

Got pretty unlucky more than once in the L with monster combo flush and low draws that didn't come in but tbh I also played a couple of hands badly. Lost loads in the M with rolled-up 777 that didn't improve. Had to slow down and just call when facing AA in case he had one behind. He didn't, but he made a wheel at the end. But then I got paid with an A-high FH, so got them back.

[MintTrav]

How do I get nothing from this hand? Going 6-way to 4th street, despite reraising (so they all cold-called except the original raiser) is part of the reason. The other is being against someone who didn't know to fold, even though he had a bit of this and a bit of that, but nothing worthwhile. Started with AA, got 4 low spades showing, incl the A, and he calls it down and backs into a third 5, while I miss all my outs.

2nd break -  M: 4.0k. L: 2.1k.

Horrific. I didn't know it was possible to be outdrawn as many times as that. Got back up to 4k in the L, but got rivered three times by a Canadian called kevindAAng. This idiot raises on 3rd every hand and bets nearly every street after that, so it should be easy to beat him. Had him bang to rights and he found something every time, while I bricked out. Same on the other table. Not even worth posting hands just to show bad beats, (unless they were interesting, like the one above) but it's depressing when there is no end to them.

[MintTrav]

And a nice way to finish the L, suitably in keeping with the rest of the tournament. I shouldn't reraise at the end; a flat call is much better, but I had virtually nothing behind. Not complaining about other guy - he's entitled to call it down holding 2345 from the start.

3rd break. Not out of the M, which is about as much as can be said.

[MintTrav]

Some good news.

Bottomed out at just 697 chips, but then tore it up and got all the way up to 3264.

Then this. Could have been losing either the Hi or Lo, or both, but decided I had to go all out. I did lose the Hi but won the Lo. Back in the game at least. A long way behind the leaders, but back to starting stack with 3/4 of the field still in is a lot better than it was a few minutes ago.

4th break.

[ ] Not out of the M.


Committed with (not the best hand, not the worst) against a guy with just an A showing (he did have one behind) and another guy with a low draw. The low guy caught a straight.

[MintTrav]

2-7 Triple Draw

Late-reg'd due to not getting away from work.

2nd break M: 5,225  L: 3750

Lost 1200 in the L on a hand just before the break. Had to call with 2457 on third draw. Three-way, everyone took one card. I caught an 8 (urgh) - check, I check, 3rd guy bet. A fold and I called another 500 for a pot of 3k. Lost.

[MintTrav]

Lost with 7-high. Cruel game.

3rd break. M: 4.0k. L 7.3k

Bets are getting huge and the game is getting very swingy. In the next session, I'll have to set my life on some good starting hands and hope for the best. It's spin-up-or-out time, especially in the L, where the bets are bigger. Expect 20k or zero soon.

[MintTrav]

No callers. Don't they know I'll make a straight as usual?

Up to 13.5k in the L and 8k in the M. Gotta get the chips in again in both though.

[MintTrav]

10k in both a short time ago. Nil in both now. Came time to make a stand - eventually fell the wrong way.

M: 127/333 - 42 paid
L: 349/1473 - 192 paid
