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?

There is a Dinner Break @ 9.15pm (for those still in....)

Fifteen (15) minute break at the completion of levels 3, 9, and 12. There will be a forty five (45) minute dinner break at the completion of level 6, which is approximately 915pm. Play will commence on Day One of tournament and continue until 13 levels have been played. Play will resume on Day Two of tournament at 4pm and continue until a winner has been declared.

See the structure sheets here......(you need to scroll down for 20 minutes to find it)

Yeah I'm limp/potting with 2.4k all day everyday

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?

Levels are 40 minutes, Simon, but there is a 15 minute Break after Level THREE, so you have until (5pm + 40 +40 +40 +15 +40) = 7.55pm by my reckoning. Blinds start t 50-100, 75-150, 100-200, 150-300. Late Reg players get a full stack but have to await the Big Blind.

Like the limp raise, it's the only way you can get enough leverage to thin the field with your stack.

That 45 minute dinner break seems to both too late and not long enough to eat dinner.  Just makes the grind longer.

I like that the full Grande Luxe menu is available as poker-room service.  Ask the server how long food orders are taking, and order accordingly during the last level before dinner?

Thanks Simon.  Level 6 seems to be something I should aim for, at least as a first target.  Outlasting Tikay seems another target.

Not really challenging yourself much there Doobs.

Got 18k having been down at 6k.  Made several painful correct folds to get down to 6k.  Table not nearly soft enough.  Fun times

The team are relying on you David, animal has already re-entered, and I am in bad shape with 5,000. I might gamble before late reg closes.

[Doobs]

Got 15.5k at break.  Fella on my right is going absolutely nuts now he has a big stack.  Could go horribly wrong if I have half a hand next level. 

[Doobs]

To be fair to the nutter man, his crazy play hasn't just started after he got a big stack.  After doubling me up earlier he managed to get about 8k in pre with T987 double suited and hit a flush to quadruple up.  He is causing carnage, probably bust 5 or 6 already.

[Doobs]

Nutter doubled 2 people up then got his last 17500 all in pre with Q752.  I don't even think he looked at them.  Down to 12.

[Doobs]

Bluff shoved on a 3 club board with the ace of clubs.  Called by the 4th nuts.  Out.  I wouldn't call me, but unfortunately he was fairly new to the table and had been given a ton of chips by the nutter.

Missed re-entry by 2 minutes.

Would probably have worked better if I had enough chips for a river shove, but I didn't.  Maybe he'd have called anyway?  Not to worry, on to the big one on Sunday.
