Or any good cash game run-ups?
Or any good cash game run-ups?
I remember when I actually used to care about the WSOP and follow players I knew. Now I wouldn’t even know the wsop is even going on if it wasn’t for threads on it here. Poker is so 2004.
I'm on a downswing in my 50 cent sit n goes. WSOP is a fucking pipe dream
I played the Stud 8 event for 7.5 hours and didn't get a single scoop
Played the 1000 PLO and in the second level flopped top set on a wet board but middle set thought he was $$ and took us both out when the flush hit the river
Played the 1500 plo got it 85% all in pre with the avg stack with aa109 vs kk63dd. Clear on the flop but went runner runner flush.
Cash games have been $$
Made final 4 tables of the Venetian Seniors tourney. Not a huge score but I guess ok for a $600 buy in
I was there from 6/6 - 6/13.
I won 2 - $175 satellites for ($3,000 in lammers + $200 cash + $300 in last longer money) -- Tipped the dealer $100 each win.
Played $1.5k 8game mix 6max -- Busted in level 7. My stack peaked at around 16k in level 4.
Played $1.5k Milly Maker -- Busted in level 3 or 4. Peaked at around 13k. Couldn't win a flip in the end.
2 - $250 Rio dailies -- Busted about midfield in both
2 - $150 10pm Rio daily -- Bubbled 1 and busted early in the other.
3 cash sessions and I lost about $500.
The trip was a complete brick....but I did get married.
Cashed 2/3 of my first events, but this Mixed Omaha event I just played was so brutal.
Fired two bullets.
Bustout #1:
Just as Level 3 was ending, I had 8400 in chips (we started with 7500), and we were playing Big O. I was on the button with A247J with 2 spades. Limped by 4 people , I decided to raise (I think to 300) both because I was in position and my hand was good. I planned to check behind if I missed the flop. Well, I didn't miss. Flop came Tc2s6s, giving me the nut flush draw, bottom pair, and the second best low draw. Checked to me, I bet 1k. 2 folds, then middle position (a young guy who was new to the table) reluctantly called, but seemed unhappy about it. Next guy went all in short for about 3k.
Middle position had basically the same stack as me -- very slightly covering me. I decided I'd prefer just to run it out with the shortstack, especially because middle position may lay down A3 with no other draw, and would definitely lay down A4-no-high-draw. I re-popped it all in. Middle position thought for a little while, then decided to call with 34678 no spades!
So the guy had a straight draw and the the third low draw, and decided it was a good idea to call two all-ins with a flush draw out there.
Well, guess what? Turn 4c, river Ac, and suddenly I was left with only two pair and a live 7 low. The shortstack had some shit and would have been scooped by me. However, 34678 guy made a backdoor flush with clubs, and his 37 low was good.
So he scooped this massive pot -- something like 23k -- and I was out.
Bustout #2 (80 from the money on Day 2): https://pokerfraudalert.com/forum/sh...l=1#post776698
sounds like someone played some poker!

god bless big O...amazing how people can manage to fuck that game up worse than they fuck up regular O8, but they do...
I did by not backing anyone from this pos site.
Im up huge.
Just got 33/1330 at the $1500 NL Event #37.
$7800.
lol donkaments
Had slightly above average at dinner on Day 2 (179k), with 60 remaining, but never eclipsed that mark.
I ran into a buzz saw -- a guy who was hitting every freaking hand he played. As soon as our table broke, he started chunking it off. Oh well.
My last 4 all-in situations all featured 3 bad beats -- 2 on my side, 2 against me.
I had KK against AQo where I had the guy covered by only 19k. Flop QTx, turn blank, river A. Ugh.
Then I got it in KJdd against AQo. Flop and turn were low, but the river was K. I doubled.
Then I got it against the same guy I just beat, where I now had him well outchipped. I had KQo, he had 9, flop AK6. Win. That was the one all-in which wasn't a bad beat, but simply me winning a race.
I ran it up to 179k (from 19) in just an hour.
Then when I was short again, I got 39k in pre 33, and the BB found himself with 55. After a lot of thinking, he called, and the 3 flopped. Score another bad beat for me.
My bust hand was ATo vs AKo. Yes, preflop I was in bad shape. But the door was a ten, and the other two cards were AJ. I said, "No K or Q please", forgetting about the J. Of course, J hits the turn, and I'm fucked.
So I'm out 33rd.
Ready to attack $1500 Limit Holdem -- the event where I have the greatest edge -- tomorrow at 11am. I cashed in 2014, didn't cash in 2015, was chip leader with 42 left in 2016 before getting destroyed by the deck and going out 40th, and was the stone bubble boy in 2017. Of course, I finished 3rd and spun a seat cover in that event in 2005. I have been mid-late Day 1 chip leader in that event in most of the past 8 years I played it.
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.
Brandon said he's coming to the $1500 Limit Holdem tomorrow, so at least PFA has two shots at glory on that one.
