Day five of Main

Ah guys. Thanks so much for everything. It means alot.

I was gutted for a few minutes. It's a big spot. But feeling fine now.

Final hand was

20k-40k(40k)

Eight handed, we are on Button with 320k and .

Sam (internet guy, who's name I should know, but is very good) raises UTG+2, to 80k.

I have basically no equity, but I just about shade his range, and there is 100k dead

All standard, in. He has  .

Plans

Still some great events to come. Potential 4 in total, maybe most likely 3 with overlap issues.

It's really important to take zero Main Event anti-climax feeling into the later events, so I'll make absolutely sure on that. But, I think I'll be Getting into the $3,000 PLO six max soon

Great run Stu mate.

[easypickings]

$3k six max PLO

Right, we're in.

It's an exciting one to (re) start. This is what I've played basically the last couple of years, Online six max PLO.

In at level six, with 40k at 300-600(600)

[easypickings]

3k PLO six max

(Just realised, that anyone who wakes up in the morning is going to see the bad news by seeing the words "PLO six max")

But at least we get  to update some hands!

Good start.  

Raise UTG to 1.5k at 300-600(600) (not the correct sizing,but feels fine to do things differently in this tournament)

Big blind big stack defends.

. (16 card nut wrap)

I actually decide to exploitatively bet small. 1.2k into 3.9k

Fairly immediate check raise to 6k. With no obvious pair plus diamond combos, this really feels like a set.

If it is, its a good spot. 11 non diamond nut outs, 5 outs to a straight through a diamond, decision to come on whether I want to bluff a non-straightening diamond

Call



We improve to 20 outs (albeit K and J not nut straight now)

He bets 15k into 16.9k

Easy decision to call, albeit big pot now



You never get there clean in this game. But, we're probably good.

He checks.

It's close. It doesn't feel like he has diamonds, but obviously it's an awful card for him

I could bet something like 15% pot, but he should he folding even to that.

Check, and he does show 99

Up to 63k

[easypickings]

3k PLO six max

Up to 70k (40k starting stack)

[easypickings]

3k PLO six max

Couple of small hits, 65k into 400-800(800)

[easypickings]

3k PLO six max

Ouch

The nasty (not as much as Holdem, but still nasty) aces to aces.

All standard really. We have   (slightly better than average aces)

At 400-800(800), raise cutoff to 2k from 65k (the effective stack), small blind pots to 7.2k. Definitely right to get it in

We do.

He has  

And gets there



Sigh. Getting in for 50 bigs, it feels right to execute the re-entry

[easypickings]

3k PLO six max

Back in, for 40k, at 400-800(800)

[easypickings]

3k PLO six max

Small ones in either direction. 41k

[easypickings]

3k PLO six max

Break at end of level six, 39k (40k starting stack)

[easypickings]

3k PLO six max

34k at 500-1k(1k). Dwindling a bit, card dead on a loose -fairly passive table where you need a hand

[easypickings]

3k PLO six max

42k at 500-1k(1k)

[easypickings]

3k PLO six max

Hmm

Still loose -passive table

Raise from hijack to 3k at 500-1k(1k). Button calls, good French player in BB calls

 

Checked around



Checked around



French big blind bets 7k

I can't really raise. I would be repping a twice -slow played house.

We have a bluff catcher, obviously.  Not really any significant blockers, our 4 only worth a small amount.

He's repping fairly thin. Probably just a 5, a  straight, or AJ. If his value includes AK, we do block that.

Think for a long time. To what extent does he think he can just make a dry bluff at this, on the basis that we have checked twice? I feel that there's a natural inclination that most bluffs want to be blocker based, and there's very little for him to be doing that with.

Fold. Just about.

25k
