560 PLO8 MTT @ Golden Nugget

starting stack size: 12k at 25/50 blinds

Effective stack sizes were ~12k at 50/100 blinds
hero dealt: aa** (no wheel/suit)

folds to villain in middle position
villain raised in middle position
hero calls
bb falls

(2 players to the flop, hero OOP in sb)

flop: a27 2 tone
hero: checks
villain:

turn: a27 j (2 tone) 2
hero check call about 2/3 psb

river: a27 2 tone j2 (no flush completes)
lead river 3/4 pot
get check raised
slow down and call

Analysis:
Hero should probably have led flop to get counterfeited lows to fold.
Ultimately, hero am getting freerolled here a bunch. I think my line was actually kind of bad, especially leading river.
It feels a lot like WAWB.


------
one hand with "red" (Justin)

folds to hero in CO
hero raises with a*wcwc (a with 2 wheel clubs)

Flop: J9J 2 tone clubs

bb: check
Hero: c-bet 2/3 pot
bb: c/r near pot size bet
hero: tanks and thinks about 3 betting but only has clubs and folds

Analysis:
Hero probably should be just checking behind a bunch here. Board never really hits perceived hero's range since it contains so few jx against a strong, thinking player.
This is a good line when actually holding a J though.

-----
Leif Force's table broke and he sits down to my left.
We actually don't get into too many pots for 3-4 rotations.

One hand occurred multi-way...limped pot

AJT 2 tone

raise in EP and lots of callers
Leif is in SB and calls preflop.
1 guy had JJxx
other had NFD
Leif shows KQ for made straight, no redraws.

He ends up calling/gambling with KKQ9 preflop to try to triple up against some solid regs

The river is a T and 1 villain boats up. Leif is out.

[We had played at one of the PLO8 MTTs last year at the Golden Nugget]

--------------
hero dealt a226 (suit to ace)

hero's stack size: about 9000
7: about 6000

1 fold
UTG+1 (hero) - limp (6k chips at 400/800)
seat 7 - nitty player (who hero has played with 2-3 times and seems straightforward) isolates my limp - raises in LP)
hero calls

~7400 (2 players)

hero ships w/o really looking at flop

Analysis: A complete and utter leak on my part.
If his "raising range" is essentially 2-3% (AA**), this board hits him a lot. My "set of deuces/no low" is in horrible shape so often in this spot.

Hero's stack: 1100

---------
a couple hands later, hero ends up getting it in (3 way) and triples up against 2 players by flopped low flush that held up on no low board

hero's stack: 4200

blinds pass (400/800 blinds)

hero's stack: 3000

---------
hero dealt: aa34 ds

2 limpers
hero (exactly) pots all in in SB

up against 3 other players
aa34 ds

4 players total
didn't write down hand, but 1 player got a better high and low

----------
hero out around ~55/95
