WCOOP Event #8 HORSE

I'm a bit late posting this one but it's really cruddy. I'm not even posting any hands. First, what is HORSE? It's a mix of 5 limit games. We play one each blind level. Which games? I'm glad you asked.
Hold-em
Omaha H/L
Razz
Seven Card Stud
Eight or Better Stud (Stud H/L)

See how that spells Horse? Great. Anyway, I didn't find a whole lot of good spots in this tourney. I hate limit hold-em, razz apparently hates me, and despite seeing some atrocious omaha h/l play i couldn't find spots to capatalize.

I can consalidate all my whines to these few sentences that apply for every game. My starting hands suck. When my starting hands don't suck, the cards that come later totally ruin whatever hope I had of getting some cards. When my starting hands and cards somehow go together well, someone else has a better hand. When I have really, really great cards I get no action on them.

There was one very notable exception in Hold-em where I got dealt a pair of Aces and the BB called my raise with 88. We both flopped a set and there was a lot of betting all the way to the end where I won a huge pot and almost doubled up.

Other than me losing many pots in ways described above the only other Notable thing was that 4-time WSOP bracelet winner Tom McEvoy played at my table. I actually had a chance to knock him out. I raised pf in Omaha H/L with AA77ds. I got 5 callers including a shortstacked McEvoy in the BB. Flop came KK5 with 2 diamonds (I had none, nor was the other K of my suit). McEvoy bet and I would have been willing to go all-in with just him. Unfortunately my stack was low enough that I would be committing my self for a lot of chips if i called there. I figured between the other 4 players having 4 cards a piece a K was there and if that didn't get me a diamond draw would, and with 5 callers in H/L i wasn't likely to hit another A. maybe it was a weak play on my part, because everyone folded to the last guy in with Tom, who put him all-in. Tom had JJxx and it ended up to be enough to win. SO basically I could have eliminated a 4-time bracelet winner at the WSOP at an all-around skill game if I wasn't such a pussy looking for folds.

My next report will be from the $1050 NL Hold-em tourney I played in tonight. I actually cashed here and made some decent money so I may have some interesting stuff to post then.
