Nice job Stu

[4KSuited]

Another great morning read. It’s clear that you were really enjoying yourself at this table - perhaps in contrast with the brain-straining of the $2500 Big Bet?

[bagel]

great stuff again stu

How much was your 5-bet in the K5 hand?

How much was your 5-bet in the K5 hand?

Oh Sorry, forgot to say. Made it 27k

Exactly. They're both alot of fun. Just in very different ways

Day between Main 1a and Day 2

So, tomorrow is a slightly tough decision what to do, because

- I'm sure that the value would be to play the Mega satellites here. It probably is anyway, but especially as we're approaching last chance saloon to get into the Main Event

- However, i strongly suspect they may not happen. Just feels like a crazy day is guaranteed tomorrow, and they need the space

- So, I think best plan is to play the Venetian $1k ($800+$200) mystery Bounty from 11am,  potentially one re-entry, and then come across if it does appear that the 1k or 2k mega satellite will happen

[4KSuited]

I’m pretty sure that we’re all going to be happy with whatever decisions you make, Stu

Good luck

[typhoon13]

Go with whatever you want Sir, your there to play

Nice day 1 well done

Day between Main days

The numbers have been insane. That's overall a great thing, but it's led to some insane lines, and some situations that close to unavoidable chaos.

The mega satellites (potentially Either 1k or 2k) at the WSOP should be amazing today, but I still aren't completely sure they won't be canceled, and may be mad.

Therefore, tried Venetian, for the $1k Bounty tournament. Walked in, saw a line of people who looked they had been waiting for hours, and a glum looking Frances Obduan told me "it's going to be two hours yet."

To the WSOP we go

[easypickings]

Day between Main 1 and 2

Well, we hit the Big surprise of today.. Zero line at the WSOP.  I didn't understand that at all, but apparently the Deepstack was canceled, and that makes all the difference.

We're in for $1,100. 10k to start. 1/10th of the field "gets in" (or, for us, obviously, gets the 10k chip)

[easypickings]

Day between Main 1 and 2

Hmm.

Big blind 300, button raises to 700. He has our 10.2k covered. Seems solid. Defend



Check, he bets 800 into 1.6k. Call

.

Check, he bets 900 into 3.2k. Very strange sizing,
obviously.

Is this more likely just meaning he has Tens full, or is this setting up a river bet? Anyway, turn decision is easy. Call

.

Check. He bets 4k into 5k.  (Will leave me with 3.6k if i call and lose).

Hmm. There's very little to go on. Have to go with that, to look at, he seems solid. 98 getting there is of some relevance. Fold.

Have 6.4k now

[easypickings]

Day between Main 1 and 2

Couple of raise and take it, 7.3k

[easypickings]

Day between Main 1 and 2

Sigh, out.

Down to 6.2k at 400BB, have on the button. Hijack raises to 900. Standard i guess. Too early for satellite strategy to come in. Ship 6.2k. He has

The window card is enough. He gets there on



Re-entering

[easypickings]

Day between Main 1 and 2

In at 600BB, up to 11.2k
