Last day Las Vegas

quitting my first wsoptrip today and travel for 12 days to silentpurple in toronto... finaly im fine with the result i got... cashed in 2/4 wsop tourneys and finished cashgame sessions with a little loss of 500$ in 8 sessions, so not realy what i was hoping for in cg, but the fucking Big0 costs me lot of nervs and $, so for next year i think i just play straight Plo8 cashgame, whatever...

so far the trip is something like breakeven, beeing up with poker total something around 6K but the living and stuff here is rly not cheap so i spend over 2k in hotels, 1.5k in flight(s) and the rest in Taxis(alot!!!), shows, party a.s.o...

so my last session in the rio i had so sick hands, and i have now 30 minutes to write some stuff bc i have to leave the hotel to the airport then :D i type some words...7

5/5plo8: utg opens 20, 6callers i have AJ29 on the button, call 7 players 140$pot...

flop: JJ8... utg bet 80- all folds i call..

turn 6, he checks i bet 135- snapcall...

river 3...(perfect!!!) he checks i bettet pot and were all in for 400... he again snapcalled, snapmucked... +600 that hand :)

1/2 Big0: straddle button 10, i open 35 utg AKK25ds 3 callers

flop 334 all checks

turn 4 i check, button 85, all folds i have K hi fd also, call...

river Q i got the K hi flush, check he bets pot... i tanked 3 minutes- folded

he showed me for 5$ 458KK no flush, :( nice river barrel i told him, he said" you wouldn´t bet a full house there again"... said for sure i would bro... all the others smiled, but the guy didn´t... GOOD TELL MR, he left 5 hands after that :D

final day 5k plo8

started with 25 players left and 4/8 blinds, so 140k i had and 17bb to go... not founded a spot in the 3first orbits and was down to 14bb after like 25minutes where i got dealt utg+2 AJ27ds but decided not to pot that so i just limped and this kessler guy raised to 3.5bb...so hes def playing me in position what i rly did´nt like in that spot whatever 10.5bb left i made the call and the board came colder than cold with 339 which is more worse than 10109, lol - i check folded that and where in a rly fucked up mode right there, all players just raising there hands no way limping in spot and steal some stuff, so i sat there more 2 orbits 1 time potraised all folded and 1 time got a walk and had around 80k so 10bb where all players folded i looked into AJ63 with 3 clubs and i potraised 24k(im commited) and just hoped the stupid donkey in the bb folds his hand, just saw a strange hand by him few minutes before where he had no stack to play that with - i think it was somethin like 18-20bb...

in that spot he repoted me all in, i felt not so well with my hand, but after seeing his hand i was rly surprised, he rly plays a tourney for over 20hours to give his chips in with AK1010??????(60% of his stack, rly????=)wtf is that? seriously i asked him before the flop came, and he looked to me like im from an other planet, like he wanted to ask me" do you fold that hand"? haha, such a ridic repot whatever- flop came rly nice not the best but KQ10 isn´t that bad, but set for him, but who cares i though by myself he has the K also so he take 1 out of his hand... for sure the dealer binked the Q on the turn to bust me in 20th for 12.6k...

im finaly for sure rly happy about my 2nd cash in the 4 wsop event i played, and i had also luck in a spot so otherwise i would have been busted in 30th place...just ugly to loose it that way, whatever...

3 more days in vegas, definitly taking some days off now, not sure if i go back to rio again, today going to watch the bluemangroup with friends, tomorrow definitly some sport, maybe tennis swimming fitness or whatever just coming down from a 15day lifegamegrind...

decent name for a restaurant in the rio^^

5k plo8 day 1 and 2

im still in the 5k plo8, starting tomorrow with final day and 25/350 left... i have atm 140k and blinds are 4/8k tomorrow, so anything is stil possible...

just few hands i blog here for showing how the guys are playing...

button raise 3bb bigblinds calls... flop xyz bb check, button fold... :D unbeliveble, we asked him why? and he said, i don´t like that flop... haha not to belive...

then a guy has 40bb raising the button to 2.5 bb and sb raises to 8bb... both have like 40bb... button snaps... flop is 953 with 2 diamonds and sb potted and button reraises pot, all in and stuff... sb showes AJ54 no suites???(nice reraise there btw) and button showes KQQ3 with the K hi diamond draw?????????? finaly choped it...

well not more to talk about, just seen so many strange hands, just amazing which people playing this game...

2levels before we reached itm phil laak moved to our table, and he was rly deep with something like 150bb or stuff...(i don´t realy get it, why he was reading an o8 book and playing at the same time, maybe he wanted to show us hes a fish in this game... i don´t know)

he played his stack in 1 hand against me where i raised the hi jack pot,(never did that in 18hrs before!!!raising pot obv) AAK3 with 80k stack or somethin and 5players left before itm...(so i was 100% itm when i fold the rest of my hands...what i finaly did, lol) whatever flop in this hand came 10109 with the nfdraw me also and he donked pot in it which was 28k...i tanked for somethin like 2 minutes and asked him wtf he is doing? he not looked up to me and i openfolded it, im 101% sure i was ahead there, maybe huge ahead maybe against somethin like an openender or somethin... he showed me a 9 and smiled, i said- lol i know, any4 you call and pot there if there not comes a lowdraw or somethin, id do the same with ur deepstack on the bubble... fml

we played like 15minutes on the bubble with 3 times all ins before we reached itm... i snap dubbled my stack by potting utg 48k stack with 3/6blinds AK22 and the button snap repots it... lol i called and saw AA87... flop was K103 with also the nfd for him, and the guy next to me said oh i folded 22xx, i just thought haha nice GG guys, before the turn binked a naked K and it finaly held up :) so my first suckout at this tournament... a rly important once...

doubbled after this1 my 75k stack against phil laak 3 hands before dayending... he raised in mid possition AQ24 and i potted the button with KK85ds thought its a good spot with 11bb for getting my $ in, i scooped :)

whatever, i hope i run like 2day tomorrow and can go on for some more hours in this tourney, now off to bed, 10hrs to restart

day2, plo8 1.5k

finaly busted in 33 for somethin around 7k... finaly its a cool cash, but when i see which guys are stil staying in and reached the final table i just feel sick about but ok thats poker, lol

started the day with 25.9k which where at 1,2/2,4k blinds not much, but for plo8 with no antes and stuff rly good to grind my stack and stuff... not got a single showdown in day 2 over 2 hrs and grinded up my stack for like 35k where i had my first showdown i was huge dominated...

i limped with 1/2k blinds utg and 34k stack Aj24 no suites and got 4way 8k pot and an amazing 345flop... sb and bb checked an i made it 4,5k and the sb potted with 45k stack and i was rly sure he has the same hand or im freerooling for full or some stuff... and i was rly surprised after he showed me Aj26... but i could open the luckbox there and quarted him after 4 on turn and A on the river, lol

with 45k stack we went into 1,5/3k and also in the money... after that the game switched a bit from tight nitty into loose 2 and 3 betting all the time, so no more way for my limp grinding game i did the 2 levels before :)

whatever, i definitly had the best live table i could imagine... 1 guy just played the moderator at the table and just every player where talking to the other and we just had so much fun and funny stories to talk about, rly great live poker imo...
btw i felt rly cool about the table draw and fun, because we couldnt use our sellphones after reaching itm, which is imo the biggest fucking trash! but obv you can use ya iphone chating, facebooking, twitter and stuff but no sellphones??? that makes much sense wsop chiefs!!!


just 1 story:

erik seidle came to the table and berry shulman said hi erik and an other1 said nice year so far erik and an other just took off his sellphones and said: hey man, i know you from tv, your a famous guy! Oh yeah, you are PHIL Hellmuth right?

that was just to much, all the players at our table fall in laughing, so it was great entertainment all the hours today...

finaly i got rly unlucky when there were 36players left, got my last 45k in at 2/4k blinds after a button raise i found AKJ2 ds in the bb and obv 3 bets pot and he pushed me all in and he showed AJ34 ds, flop was 368 with 2 spades, nfd also for me turn a K now also fd for him river gave him with the Q the flush we choped that pot :(... then utg raised his last 25k commited with a pot raise all in with 3/6k blinds i found on the button AQ102 single suit and he scooped that hand and i was down to somethin like 5bb left...

after this hand i found in sb A1034 and utg opend with 13k raise all folded to the button which was a guy i played over 5hrs with and he was rly tight... and he potted... i just felt so fked in this spot with just 4.5bb left...normaly i never fold that hand so short, but i did... utg folded and the button told me after my bust he had AA29...whatever after talking long with friends about that hand, i think i should have took that spot to get my stack of 25k in... whatever i took an other spot blinded down to 16k and shiped the button all in with AJ83 ds and the bb found at 3/6kblinds AK73, gg

finaly i feel obv cool about my first wsop cash and a nice 7k for register in the 5k plo8 ;) and some poketchange on the top, so could be worse... just sick that after my bustout i had to more friends in the tourney 1guy rly deep(he played his first time plo8 life, and not often online^^) and an other guy with avarge stack and no1 reached the final table :(, whatever gg!

1.5k plo8

im still in after 10hrs and 10 long levels of play im going with 25,9k in day2...

we started with 1.5k chips and 2 more chances to take a rebuy... i played 2hrs with that 1.5k and had it 3 times in where i freerooled everytime but couldnt scoop it a single time so after 2levels i took my full stack and blinded down to 1.5k and 100/200 blinds... i got no spot to get my chips in good, so i 3bet allin my last 6bb and got 2 callers and scooped, not rememberin that hand...

after that i started rly well in this level... first made a check/raise all in on K107 5 board with AK73 he the guy paid on the turn with A1083 and the nfd... river blanked out and i had 12k at 100/200 which was over average there...

not 5 minutes l8r i got a huge spot... utg opend 500 and the button called i also called with A10102 in the BB... flop came 1098 with 2 diamonds... utg checked and button had like 15k and potted it... i obv called the 1.9k and we saw hu the turn with was a 5 and the 3rd diamond... not rly a good card i thought... but how to come out of this hand in a grapshottourney? i guess theres no way folding this hand... i check raised the guy all in after he also potted the turn and i had to pay after his 6k potbet 4k more, which is imo standard...

he showed me A954 with the nutflush and also two fullhouse blockers...

whatever i made quads with the river and scooped the huge 25k pot :)

after that i had also some good hands but no huge pots...so i finished withit after level 10 like the stack i had after level 6 or 7...

my tabledraw for the last 3 level were btw the sickest i´ve ever seen...

3 big online and lifepros... like Postflopaction, yuvee and an other i guy i don´t know the name, 3 unreal Rocks and 2 tight nits, lol so not the best for grinding a stack...

whatever i hope for my first wsop tomorrow, just 40left to the money
