Stuart Rutter WSOP and WSOPE 2021, selling at 1.0 (as yet, details unknown)

[easypickings]

It's the unprecedented 10am start, and  I've still managed to wake up far too early.

Well, we may be playing the 2.5k Short Deck (1pm start) today, but obviously hope not to be!

However, on, let's say, the off chance that we are, here is a quick summary of Short Deck:

- Sometimes called 6+ holdem, the deuces through fives are taken out of the deck.
- The one change in hand ranking is that a flush beats a full house.
- Any single out becomes more likely to hit. This gives better equity drawing to a straight or a house.
- The one draw that this negatively affects is to a flush, as a flush draw now has only 5 outs, rather than 9. (Hence, a flush beating a full house)
- Almost all equities run closer. 66 is in better shape vs KK, AK is in better shape vs AA, JT is in better shape vs AK and vs AA
- Every player antes. Limp-raising all-in is very much a thing.
- Blockers become more key, as they occupy a higher percentage of the deck

Anyway, let's hope none of that is relevant. Day 2 of the PLO starts at 10am

(no idea what that hand is doing, obviously)

47% equity 3 way

Turn is  

(Jack, King, or heart) one time? No



We cannot buy a piece of luck

[RED-DOG]

F**k!

[easypickings]

2500 EUR short deck

Another delayed start!

About to start now. Ante (that's an old school ante, not a big blind ante) starts at 100.

It's like an old school double chance freeze out. Two stacks of 25k, and you can take your second stack whenever you want.

12 players to start, but I suspect that it will make its 200k guarantee

[easypickings]

2500 short deck

Sigh, still cannot win an all in. First bullet (of first entry) down

on K98. Get it in vs K9 and K8

Any open ended straight draw is 43% to make a straight because of the higher  concentration of the deck, and with the two extra cards out, here I will have 47% equity 3 way.

Actually exactly the same as the PLO spot. Near 50% chance of a treble

No good. K9866. Sigh

[easypickings]

2500 short deck

This is beyond relenltess

AK into AA for the second bullet (of first entry)

German guy on button (last position) chip leader and very aggressive. Two limps. I limp AK cutoff (penultimate position) , he raises to 3k. Feels like trap is sprung. We get it in.

AK into AA

T86JT

A brick wall

[easypickings]

2500 EUR short deck

Second bullet, 24k (plus 25k second bullet chip) at second break. Coming back to 400 ante

[Tal]

Keep getting it in good and making the right decisions. Mistress Variance will crack the whip at someone else's behind at some point.

[easypickings]

2500 EUR short deck

This is horrendous.

Get it in for 25k with   vs (again, absolutely no idea how that happened). Obviously the KJ equity is better than holdem, but still.



It never stops

[bagel]

you have a huge edge over these fields , just getting beasted by lady luck as tal said, and you obv know.

chin up ronnie ,  spin it up

[easypickings]

2500 EUR short deck

Thanks guys

Up to 33k

Yeah, on a run like this, the only actual important thing is to keep your head and do the same things. Luck has no memory. The only truly bad thing that could happen was that the deck swung in my favour and I wasn't ready to take it.
