Stuart Rutter WSOP action for the remainder of the Summer

[easypickings]

Right, end of day report:

Hovered around just above starting stack til level 5
Then went on a surge up to 31k.
Had a dip in level  7 to 19k, but got back into it in one nice pot, an interesting move.

Rec player who has played nitty opens CO, I peel 632 on button, SB calls. Sb draws two, CO is PAT, I draw 2. I improve one to 8632. CO makes his automatic bet, I decide to raise to represent that I am pat. If it works, it will force out the SB if he has  not improved, and may encourage the pat player to break, as his pat range on CO is likely to be wide. It does work as planned; SB folds and CO sighs and draws TWO!

WE then get there with 86432, and win a nice pot.

Then followed a surge up to 55k.

Sadly in the last 10 hands of the day, I unavoidably played and lost 4 hands, and so had a dip down to 26100.

So, 63 going back tomorrow, 49 in the money, I've got 26100 and average must be about 36k.

$1500 triple draw day two

Not a good start. Played three hands, lost three hands without decision. Down to 15200

58 left, 49 in the money

[easypickings]

Had to win the next one, and did.

Its an interesting decision pre. I have 13.5k at 1200-2400. I have 8743 in the BB, pearljammer raises the button, duhammel folds the SB. In a cash game this is an easy three bet against a button range. His button range against two shorties may even open up a bit more, although I suspect not a big factor.

So the ICM judgement (albeit on one bet) is whether that estimated 10% edge i have on the extra bet is bigger than the value of covnserving 1200 the 40% of the time i lose the hand. Still not sure of the answer but decided to just call.

Made a pat 98743, it held, 19k

[easypickings]

No good. Three more in a row, down to 5400. 55 left 49 in the money

[easypickings]

OUT in 54th.

Well, seperated only by sleep, that was a very unfortunate downfalll from 55k going into the last level yesterday.

It came to an end the first hand of level 12. 742 vs Pearljammer (who must have played 16 of the 20 pots and got me 3 of 4). He drew two,  we probably have a slight lead, but bad news as we miss both, and even worse news as he goes pat after first draw. I go to the river with 7542x but he shows 86543 and I pair my five.

Definitely disappointing after the promise of yesterday, but all felt unavoidable. On to $1500 Omaha hi lo mix tomorrow

$1,500 Omaha hi-lo mix, day one

Well, the short story is that I made it through to day two with a little more than starting stack, but it felt a lot more interesting than that, and a big grind to get there.

Chip stack went 7.5k (level one)- 12k (level three)- 16k (level 5)-21k (a peak at level seven),11k(level eight), 5k (a low at level 9)-8,100 (level ten)

The most interesting hand:

Level 3, Big O (5 card pot limit hi-lo), 25-50: I am dealt   , beautiful hand, make it  125 under the gun. Button 3 bets to 350. I can now do whatever I want (it's obviously a plus EV 4bet), but the table is a good one, so I decide to just call.

I flop the nuts with backdoor nut low draw on     . I lead 600 into 775. Button calls.

Turn is  

Bad card, I now only have 4th nut low draw, which is fairly mediocre in the 5 card version of the game. Still have the nuts, and so bet 1,300 into 1,975. He calls.

River is  

Now no low available. It's a sigh card, but then there are so few cards on the river that keep me the nuts, whether that is in one or two directions. I consider the pot shove for value and I consider the small lead,  but decide to check. He instantly says "pot".

It's a horrible decision for most of my stack. (Pot is 4,575). In a better game, I would be more suspicious about the bluff. My hand looks like the nut flush, is indeed the nut flush, and can only beat a bluff. But the button had been fairly down the line, and it definitely didn't feel like he would turn his small flush/low draw hands into a bluff, which is a big part of his range.

I decided to fold.

It was a shame to fall from the peak, but was very happy to make it through the day.

8,100 tomorrow, 2pm restart.

[bagel]

best of luck for day 2

[toddswain]
