Got 2725 at break from 5k starting.  Got close to 8k near start. Had top set and nut flush draw twice in big 3 way pots vs made straights and missed both times.  Also managed to check out of turn on a turn scare card which seemed a bad mistake.

Table not too bad and it is 75/150 going back so we are still ok.

Doobs is going to win the lot (NAP)

Not too disheartened, I'd be well over 10 if either hit.  Let's do this

I'm the world's luckiest man so it's more a question of "when" than "if".

[Doobs]

Doubled up.  AT88ds vs KKQ7 more or less all in pre.  Not far off a flip.

[tikay]

Never in doubt.

[Doobs]

Lost flip vs guy who can't fold aces.  On to the next one.

Had QJT9 on Q82 rainbow btw.  It probably looks better than it is as if I hit 2 pair I hit a straight.  Fella had a bare AA

Quick update.  Re-entries are for 4 levels today and not 3 as originally claimed.  This makes it a little more likely I am going to re-enter.  I should have 50 BBs when it ends, so I still think no re-entry is the most likely scenario.

Woke up at 5:30 today, but must have had 8 hours or close.  Got up just in time to see the sun rise, which was pretty nice.  Today's comp starts at 5pm, but think we should be fine to the end as I have had enough sleep.

Hopefully today's field will be like that at yesterday's game at Planet Hollywood.  Just have to be disciplined and bet when we are big favourites and they will call it seems.  Definitely no point in getting fancy early doors.

David,

Make sure you buy in early - at the PLO @ Venetian last week, there were over 50 Alternates waiting, & it all got a bit heated, as Venetian would or could not open additional tables.

Think I plan to get across there at around 4pm, then maybe go buy a coffee or cruise round Walgreens.

Thanks Tikay.  I will aim to get there about 4 and I owe you a latte.  I assume 4 is early enough.  Guess that scuppers the re-entry option, but that may not be a bad thing.

4, or even 4.30, would be fine (I'm OTT obsessional about buying in early), as to re-entries, possibly.

The PLO was a $600 with a $30,000 Guarantee (so they were looking for 50 runners), & it made $99,000, so you get the drift. Not sure PLO8 will be so popular, but you never know, & Venetian is so busy, they'll only allocate x tables to it.

Anyway, I'm aiming for 4pm or just after. Don't forget to bring your Players Card thingie ("GRAZIE").

I saw a lot of weird hands yesterday.  I just remembered another 1.  This is omaha.  I think I am UTG+1.  Fella on my left plays in a live big game.  He is 40s and likes to berate others.  He had about 2400 chips and limped 100(we are 50/100).  Fella on his left raises to 400 (I'd say he was better than average but not massively aggressive.  BB is also good enough but not particularly aggressive and he calls 400.

The fella on my left flashes me AAAK and folds. 

I'd be potting here and loving how my limp plan worked.  I think limp potting is better than raising here as the hand is going to be difficult to play post flop from early position.  I think I can get 1750 of my 2400 chips in pre by limp shoving and will be shoving any flop.  Don't really see any harm in limping and getting no raisers.  The hand is going to be well disguised and we can just check fold a lot of flops correctly multiway and get gin if we hit set over set. Anybody do anything different to me or matey boy?

Tikay.  Will probably just get a coffee and something light before I start.  Guess we don't get a dinner break if we start that late?

Might come down if I bust Nugget Stud  8. If there's  4 levels to buy in or re enter does that make it 7pm last entry?
