$2,500 Big Bet Mix

Rough one

Good player UTG 6 handed raises to 2k in Big O. Small blind, who is obviously raw, calls. I have

.

High only hands obviously always problematic, but it's a premium. Call.



I bet 2,600 into 6,800.  Both call. Small blind call is likely to be a random one.



Not in particularly good shape vs ranges. Check, initial raiser pots. Small blind still calls, which is getting weird, but it's a fold

(Initital raiser did indeed have AK4xx)

$2,500 Big Bet Mix

Weird 5 card draw hand.

UTG 6 handed raises to 3k, I have (xxx)AA, and so have an easy call and draw one.

He, however, pats. Incredibly rare. Could be part of an intricate bluff, but also rare.

I miss, and check. He bets 3.5k. I mean, if he's bluffing, it will be with one pair. But it feels too unlikely to open UTG with that intention.  Fold, and he's kind enough to show 22333

42,000

Bit of a lull, 39,500

$2,500 Big Bet Mix

Sadly, OUT.

Done in PLO.

Raise from CO to 3k at 1.2kBB in PLO from 42k.

Button pots to 10.8k

Tough one. It is in theory a 4bet all in, but button has been tight. Decide to call

makes it simple. Check to trap

He pots, all in.

He has the almost the least good possible news.

Gets there on the turn



And.no good on the river




Will re-enter tomorrow.

OUT...

[easypickings]

$2,500 Big Bet Mix

Downfall came in 2-7 no limit

36k at 1000-2500(3500)

(K)8532 in the cutoff.

Lojack raises to 5.5k. Its close, but he's so likely a 1draw rather than pat, that if there's any fold equity at all, its right to ship

I do ship, and he does a nearly-fold  call.

He's 1. It's a race, with someone having a small equity advantage.

That's me, as he has 8752.

He's first...makes T8752

I don't do the whole two/three across thing, just flip it over

Pairs the 8

88532

$1,100 Landmark satellites

We're now going to embark on the Landmark satellites.
They're nominally for the Main, but we will use them to try to win $10k

Landmarks are new in the last couple of years, and a better version of satellites, where qualification is achieved if you get to 10k the starting stack.  All kinds of new strategy involved.

$1.1ks at 1pm, $2.2ks at 7pm.

In now. Start with 15k, need to get to 150k. Reasonably quick structure, but tables look encouraging
