    So flop comes 8c7c3s

    Well, good and bad. Good in that I have a shot to win this against big cards. Bad is that this is going to be tough to play with a 140k (27bb) stack.

    So I decide to just fire 15k (3bb). Neither of these guys are retarded enough to chase big cards on a board like that, against the BB firing where they could already be drawing dead.

    Well, bad news. Original raiser makes it 35k. Ugh. So I start wondering does he have clubs? 99? A8/K8 suited? A set? Other guy folds.

    I decide to call the additional 20k and re-evaluate on the turn. Folding is just too weak here, especially because he could have clubs and give up if he doesn't get them. I didn't want to shove it in, because I really thought I'm getting called by anything that beats me, and the only possible call I get from worse hands would be clubs, 99, and A8/K8.

    Turn Qc.

    Ugh. I'm done. But wait! He checks!

    River Kd.

    Not good at all. Now if he had K8, he got there. Plus KK gets more confident to bet, whereas before he may have been doing pot control. Or perhaps he was checking back the nuts on the turn as a trap. I only had 110k left at this point and didn't want to commit any more here.

    I checked, he fired 60, and I folded.

    Ugly hand the way it all went down. Since I busted, I do keep asking myself, "What if I shoved?", as that might have forced out hands like Ax suited, 88, 77, and 44, and I would have won the pot. I am pretty sure he's calling if he has JJ+ to the shove though, and he would also likely call AQcc and AKcc. So it's quite possible I would have just stuck a giant dick up my ass by shoving, and then be questioning that all the way home, rather than the reverse where I'm questioning NOT shoving.

    I still think you might as well just shove pre instead of shoving a low board, because at least shoving pre you're getting a 50/50 double-up if you're facing AK/AQ, whereas postflop they're calling if ahead.


    Man I figured this scenario was coming,
    at least IMO, to be blunt ...
    On flop you got to bet Huge, more'n half yr stack, show him your committed and he might fold.
    But Shove pre-flop and we see 5 cards. Cest la vie...
    he prob show u a flush no matter.
    Fahgedaboudit...
    In May may you do it again.....I Pray I am around then. Shalom, you did yr bestest.

    shoeshine, I think the problem was that you didn't deal to me this event.

    I didn't have one hot run the entire 3 days. That's what I keep telling myself.. I never won any big pots, never doubled up, was never much above average chips (in fact was below a lot of the time), and I still came 50 from the money.

    So I can't be too ashamed of that overall, even if monetarily it was the same as going out in 5 minutes.

    1010 is such a difficult hand to play especially outside of position. That being said if his opening range is as wide as k8+ then I'm shoving all day. At most only about 5-10 percent of his range dominates you (I haven't ran math mind you) . I'm assuming the cold caller we are only worried about jj and qq which likely call here.

    But you killed at the buffet. Let's be honest the World Series was secondary.

    Sadly at the Rio, what was once a very decent buffet in the 90s, is long gone with nothing left but a large vacant space.

    Perhaps you’ve been out of the country. The KMart shirts were a long running schtick in the old days around here

    The table I busted from was depicted in this Cardplayer video at the 10 second mark.

    You can see me get up apparently start to leave the table for some reason, though this was before I busted. I'm not sure why I was getting up there, and obviously I wasn't aware I was being filmed.

    Final table:

    https://www.pokergonews.com/articles...t-final-table/


    Only one guy over 38 there, rec player George Holmes, who is 49.

    Chase Bianchi, who is short stacked, is a religious Jerry Yang type, but also seems like a nice guy. Koray Aldemir is the chip leader with 140m. George Holmes has the only semi-comparable stack, at 83m.




    I hope either Holmes or Bianchi gets it.

    I didn't play with any of these people at any point in the event.

    Five foreigners at the FT, and only one (?) lives in the US. Bet you wish they'd kept the borders closed now

    An American busted me, and nobody took significant chips off me who wasn't from the US.

    So doesn't matter. Let the foreigners win, I don't care.

    Time to move on from the WSOP and focus on the WSOP Circuit Event at The Bike starting in a few weeks.

    Even a Limit Holdem Ring event for Druff with a smallish guarantee scheduled for December 2, 2021.
