235 PLO8 MTT @ Golden Nugget

1 player (at my 2nd table) took an extraordinary amount of time to act; he was also not paying attention that much to the game or understand what was going on
he ran extremely hot and had a chip leader stack
however, he ended up doubling up same player 3x times before busting just before dinner break
he called off stack with overpair on 3 low board


another person said that he had plans at 8:00PM
he came back for 10 min. after the dinner break, played some hands, left, and never came back
he blinded off in 39th place (he had about ~25-26k at level 9 - blinds 500/1000)


-----------
starting stack: 12k
level 4
13.125k

i had bet 2 pair on 3 low board - got everyone to fold

moved to different table

had kq33
3c38c5 in bb
bet with set + flush draw


lost good chunk of stack in level 6
ran aa34 into kk54 (money got all in preflop)
board ran: 2a6k3
I was scooped with a 6 high straight/wheel for low

level 7
15.6k

-----------
tournament life

as my M became ~ 1, I came into an interesting hand (I have about 3.5k left after posting BB)

blinds 1.2k/2.4k

folds to sb
sb - limps
bb - i have a567
checks on flop (2 players)
2q8 board
he bets into me for tournament life
I tell the table - i don't think a low card is coming - and fold

(This was likely a mistake, running equities and scoop percentages post flop.)

It could be argued that I should have raised preflop, but it looks really suspicious that sb didn't raise into me.
I'm only really crushed (not getting correct pot odds) when up against pair + better low draw (43+). In those scenarios, I'm not getting the right price to call.

against tp (with possible lows that beat me, designated by ***), i'm scooped only 30% of time w/ about 43% equity.
if i had no low potential or there was only 1 low card on the flop, this is an easy fold

Against a random hand, a hand with a high and no low, or a better low draw and no pair, I have enough equity to call. But, I could still get scooped.
overs and no low (hero = 45% equity; scooped ~25%):

better low draw, no hand
(38% equity versus 43**)

-----------------------------
tournament life was saved
i was all in preflop with a8qk

board was similar to - j5397 (low came on river)
checks on 2 streets
a small bet into dry side pot with low potential got other guy (Leif) to fold
player had 2 pair for high/no low
he pushed out person who had a backdoor 6-5 low
i end up getting half the pot - still had tournament life

--------
i ended up shoving a couple times with abwx (ie: AJ54 or AQJ4 for example) hands and scooped same person 3 times within 2 rotations (Leif)!
stack was less than 1M prior to double ups
now up to ~3M (approximately ~8k at 1k/2k blinds)
This is not as critical as say in a NLHE tournament due to split pot nature + no antes.

---------
reraised early position raiser with akq2 rainbow
versus aa68 (a canadian person who i played cash games with later)
board ran: xx2x2 (I think the board was J5292, but i don't remember exactly)

i double up again
around level 11/12 - (M = ~5) up to about 15-16k

------
level 14
short stack pots - all in
i repotted all in - akj2 (abbw shape) - (I don't recall the exact bust out hand unfortunately.)
3rd person called - has both players covered

was out when no low hit and i did not win high
example board: K59Q8 (2 pair won)

out in 22nd - 13 were paid
22/137 total entrants
13 paid


overall, field was 1/2 internet pros (specializing in PLO8), other half were random people that had no idea how to play


-------------
-------------
other funny story (from person I spoke with in LO8 tourney that had played this tournament the day before) - omahamike


7x3x3d
(hero was guy in bb - flopped nut boat - 77xx ie: 7735 or 77t8)
flop: bet/raise/[hero in hand calls]
turn: bet/raise/[hero in hand calls]
river: bet/raise/[hero in hand calls]

7x3x3d4d5d
river - completes straight flush
one player shows straight flush (6d7dxx)
other player shows nut low (a2xx)

the player was out in less than 1 hour, even with ~15k prior to hand starting in level 4 (100/200 blinds)
