2008 WCOOP PLO 1RB 1AO

I'm going to try to keep all updates as edits of this one post.

Tournament starts in 5 minutes

3:45pm -

a couple of good online players are at my table, which sucks. but also a few total clowns. Hope to move soon. I'm down to 3840 from my 4000 starting stack (after taking the rebuy). I'll post when something interesting happens.

Tournament stats: 1198 players so far. More to come on those.

3:55pm 2 quick hands. 1st one sucks for me. 3rd time i was dealt AA in the tournament, first time i got any action. the suckout was a little too predictable.

2nd hand picks me up a few of those chips. i love position!

****************Break #2*******************

Finished the 2nd hour at around 15k. Player to my right is this guy. 2 to my left is this guy.
and we have a few other people i'd rather not have around at my table. most of the idiots have been replaced by very good players.

Both are better known for games other than omaha, but still dangerous. both have more chips than me and are going to get more aggressive as we get deeper.

I'm 132st out of 622 at the break.

*******************************************

6:10pm

Got moved finally. New table is much better. Bigger stacks here are not as good. 14.7k

*****BUSTO************

tried to mine for hands again against the predictable preflop raiser. Once i flop the 3 pair i have a hard time believing i anyone has a set since i have protection against all of them. and i have outs against any set except QQ. but i'm not sure what else the reraiser can have, es since he appeared solid. initial raiser is likely AA and will stay in so it makes no sense for me to call in hindsight. my 2 pair is very fragile even if ahead and there is too great a chance of something going wrong.

WCOOP Event #15 Pot Limit Omaha

Barring a big cash this will be the last WCOOP event I play in this year. I think PLO is a fun game and I can't wait to start this tourney

3:00 pm - Cards are in the air. 850+ players

3:30 pm - 1/2 hour in and I'm up to 3000 (form 2500). We've got a maniac at our table, raising pot preflop about 75% of the time. So far its working for him, he's up to 3500, but i don't think it can last. I've got position on him. Unfortunately I've got a good player to my left. Blinds are up!

3:36 - Out at the hand of the maniac. I took my shot with [Ks Kc Ad 7s], limping in and then reraising his raise that I knew was coming. He called for 555 with [3s Kh 9h 6h]. At this point I am a better than 2 to 1 favorite. Flop comes 4c Ah 3h and we get all out money in. At this point I am a a suprisingly heavy 3:2 dog. Blank on the turn makes me a 3:2 fav again but the river is a heart and I am out. Boo!
