SCOOP 2014 - Razz, Stud, etc

[MintTrav]

2nd break. 6.9k in the M and, er, nothing in the L.

My first objective for the Med is to outlast the Late Reg, cos that would be too bad to die in both while people were still turning up.
Not really - the bets are getting big now and it would be very possible to lose most of a stack in one hand.

305 registered so far and I'm currently 77/274.

If we're going to bust either much better to be the low

Keep up the good work, hope you catch that pesky Russian

Thanks, I can't win a hand against him. I keep getting A23, A24, etc and missing the last one. And he keeps making a Badugi every time. I've called him with my 3-card a couple of times now and he had it every time. Gotta stop doing that. I wasn't believing him before, but maybe he's just been hitting the cards.

Went down to 3k a minute ago when my 8-high got called on two streets and he made a 6-high at the end. Swore at the computer, which isn't like me. I'm usually pretty laid back about outdraws, but it happened two hands in a row. Back to 4½k now, cos there was a hand where my Badugi held up.

[sovietsong]

I can't watch on iPad which is a good thing as I don't really understand the rules!

Gl gl keep us updated when you can!

[redsimon]

Good luck John, pity its not pot limit, much better game when you can punish the draws

3rd break. 10.1k. Registration has closed, so first objective achieved. Currently 62/190. 40 places paid.

I'm on a different table now, and there are a few names I recognise. I've come up against Colisea before. He seems to be making a career from satellites, having won a load of EPT packages. Also got Rebus1980, who got a 1st and 4th in the WCOOP.

I've had to fold three high Badugis since I moved. At least, on this table, they catch their better Badugi earlier, so I don't end up betting all the way to the end, so that's all good.

[MintTrav]

Grrrr. Lost loads with a 7-high against a 6-high. Stupid.

[MintTrav]

Checking out Colisea more, he has won quite a few $215 Razz and Stud Hi-Lo games on Stars. I gotta take a shot at those.

[MintTrav]

Damn. I snowed for the first time and still got called by a 3-card. Wrong target obv. Fecker. To paraphrase Tony G "It was obvious I had a Badugi. Even I thought I had a Badugi."

[MintTrav]

Played another big hand just after that, again got a Badugi, but lost to a lower one. I've never seen so many Badugis. There seem to have been multiple Bs almost every hand. I can fold the J-highs easily; it's the 6 & 7-highs losing that's harder to take.

That left me with next to nothing. Dealt a K-high B next hand and went with it. Multi-way, it was obvious from his betting that one of them made a Badugi, so I broke mine and traded the K, but couldn't get another one. He actually showed down a K-high, but he had 632 with it, which was just slightly better than the one I broke, or I really would have made the laptop pay.

Out 164/311. Disappointing.

[MintTrav]

Just had a look in to see the results. Three left in both tournaments. I see that Colisea, who was in trouble when I last saw him, recovered and finished 4th in the M. He also bubbled the L, 257th with 256 paid, but he won''t be worried about that now. NoraFlum, another WCOOP winner from that table, finished 12th.

Cashing in the Badugi took the pressure off for the rest of the WCOOP stake. I was feeling a bit bad about the result this time, so it's nice to see some names like GeorgeDanzer, Elky and PearlJammer down around where I finished. Even they can't win them all, I guess. I see Rebus1980 didn't get much further than me and also notice 810ofclubs down the field and........Demonic16, AKA rfgqqabc. I didn't know you were in it.

[rfgqqabc]

I like to play and spent an hour or so doing some work. Think i overestimated a 3 card hand and missed and broke a q badugi that would have beat the other guys Q 3 way once but it still felt like the right play. Played the draw today too, these events are a lot of fun.

Would you fold here too? I couldn't see anyway the bettor had worse than me when he is always getting called by at least one of us. Stud comps do not treat me kindly.

i cant see what your beating there you have to fold i suppose even at the $200 level you get guys with small pairs calling every street
