580 PLO MTT at River Rock Casino

$580 PLO MTT
12k starting chips. Blinds start at 25/50.
Hero late registered about 30-40 minutes (starting at 50/100 level) since hero had to exchange USD -> CAD first, then walk over to register. In addition, players were given a $5 food voucher + River Rock water bottle. Finally, players also had to sign a full WSOP press release form.

---------------
Initial Table Reads:
1 older Canadian person
2 older Canadian person
3 hero
4 older person who busted, then "EPT FT" person (younger guy) who says that it's only his 2nd PLO MTT
5 older person who busted, then "BoDogAri"
6 Greg E.
7 older live person
8 "likely online pro" - ~25-30
9 middle aged person; eventually "Venetian guy who said he gambled a ton and was very talkative" said he was dead money

---------------
Hero's not involved with this hand, but 2 tougher villains (including friend of hero: GE):

GE raised in CO
BB called

(2 players)
Flop: J65 (two tone)
BB checks
GE bets ~2/3 pot
BB raises ~2/3 pot
GE calls

(2 players)
Turn: J659 (two tone)
BB: bets 1/2 stack
GE: raises all in
BB: folds

Analysis:
Flop: GE bet/call strongly represents a wrap on flop.
Turn: Nut wrap hits so repped it perfectly.
Villain's range seems like sets or air, maybe some 2 pairs sometimes too.

Analysis:

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard
Flop: Hero has gutter and checks back.
Turn: Hero goes for value.
River: Hero isn't really getting value from much except maybe ATxx on river...many of which would not be calling flop.
Villain's range is heavily consisting of 2 pairs/sets that likely became boats on river.
