WSOP - has anyone here made any decent score?

[snake_in_the_ass]

Uggggggggggggggh

Now I have the post WSOP bustout depression going on. This is why I can't play donkaments too much.

Just so much has to go right to make it to the final table of a 1000+ WSOP field. I mean, if it's 1000 sucky players at small online donkaments that's one thing, but this was 1330 WSOP players, some of whom are very good, and most of whom have at least somewhat of a clue.

So I feel good that I made it to 33rd, but not so good that I made it that far and fell short of the final table.

Also getting back a little more than 5x your buyin kinda blows for outlasting 97.5% of the field.

Paying 15% of the field makes playing those tournaments a waste of time. You did very well and got paid peanuts. Better off taking the $1500 to bacarrat and risking it all on 3 consecutive hands. Or putting the $1500 on one number on roulette.

[Dan Druff]

I thought the 15% thing would benefit me because I don't have a wild playstyle, and I tend to "get there" by playing small ball and trying to save the big pots for when I really have it good, rather than taking crazy chances. So that produced a lot of 10%-15% left finishes in prior years (especially in the Main), which kept barely leaving me out in the cold.

However, since they introduced the 15% thing, I've benefited from it only ONCE -- my second cash this year at the $1500 Big Blind Ante event. All other lifetime cashes have been 10% of the field or better, including the one today of course. My Omaha cash was top 6.5% of the field.

But yeah, I get your point. It does suck when you run deep and a lot of the money already got paid out. They used to start with basically doubling your buyin, and now it's about 1.5 times your buyin. So that kinda blows.

Druff, are you playing any cash games while there? Crushing a cash game seasion is usually a decent salve for post-tourney bustout blues.

[Dan Druff]

Haven't played much cash. Might try in the next few days when I have no tournaments.

In my experience, the high limit cash games suck at WSOP time.

[Dan Druff]

Anyway, I failed in WSOP limit holdem today. As did Brandon and Eric Bensamochan.

tradershky and Jayjami were still in, last I checked.

113 degrees in Vegas tomorrow. Fun.

Cash during WSOP should be it's own topic.

Rio cash fucking BLOWS. Players are good, highly disorganized, no shufflers, no chiprunners ..... and if you are playing non holdem forgetit.

Aria/Wynn are both great rooms for cash.

Seems like all the small rooms are truly dead.

i was going to comment on this... back when i was sucking pokerdicks, i would save all year for the wsop cash games, particularly the mid-stakes LHE.

sounds like the parties over.

GL in the limit event guys

[Dan Druff]

Went nowhere in the $1500 Limit Holdem.

Went out late Day 1, with about 55% of the field gone. Never managed to double my starting stack. Just wasn't happening for me yesterday.

Daly's comments about Rio cash sucking seems to be true. Tried one session of 75/150 O8 and almost all the players were really good. A few were okayish recs but no real fish, and lots of excellent players. As he said, no chip runners, plus the cashiers giving you chips are slooooooooooooooow.

I'm not playing any events until the $10k Limit Holdem on the 25th, though I will be paying the Mega to that same event the night before. Last year I got very close to making it through the Mega, but JJ < AK (on turn, no less), and that was that Oh well.

Eric Baldwin about to win the $1500 NL where I placed 33rd. He was at my table on Day 1 for like an hour or so. Didn't know if he knew who I was, but apparently he did, as he called me "Todd" at one point. Otherwise he didn't talk much to anyone. Good player, though.

Was surprised to see Jay Farber didn't make the final table, as he had a shitload of chips when I busted, and he wasn't playing crazy. Alvin Finklestein, who busted me, got 6th.

Your mother in law just told me the same thing.

[Dan Druff]

I'm flying in Sunday for the monster.

I'll be in the Pavilion Room at 8pm playing the Mega for the LHE event.

one of the best cash games I’ve ever sat in was at the rio, but not in the wsop area (although it was during the series)

it was in the regular rio poker room across from the sports deli spreading an uncapped 2/5 game that was unbelievable

Yes, and Woodrow is chip leader at the limit holdem with 19 left.

Best part is
Be aware: you can't play this event on your iPad or phone, the mobile client doesn't support Omaha. So it's got to be in the desktop client.
