230 Big O8 MTT at Golden Nugget

15000 starting chips at 25/50 blinds and 30 min. levels.

---------------
Late Registration Table Reads:
1 older guy, eventually saw him folding top 2 face up when villain calls then bets all in for 1 PSB
2 L. F. (another regular in the PLO8 & PLO worlds)
3 ?
4 ?
5 Hero
6 D. A. from Florida and previous other PLO8 MTTs
7 ?
8 ?

---------------
Hero barely registered at end of level 6.
Hero's stack was still at 15,000 but at 300/600 (to start level 7 after color up)

---------------
Hero dealt UTG: Ad Ah Qx Th 5x

Preflop:
Hero: raises to 1500
Vil?: calls
Vil? (BB): calls

(4 players - 4500 in pot)
Flop: Kd Jd 8x
Hero: checks
Vil?: bets 3000
Vil?: calls
Hero: folds

Analysis:
Preflop: This is an ok hand to raise in EP or limp.
Flop: Hero can continue with nut wrap + no flush draw MW. Hero decides to be conservative.

---------------
2nd Table Reads:
1 older guy (30s-40s) with glasses who L. F. said was toughest player at table
2 ?
3 middle aged person
4 middle aged male
5 N. (husband F. was in MTT as well) from NJ
6 L. F.
7 Hero
8 ?

---------------
Blinds: 300/600

Hero dealt in BB: Kx 8x 6x 3x 2x

Preflop:
(3 players limp)
Hero checks

(players - 2400 in pot)
Flop: Ax Kx Kh
Hero: bet 1500
Vil8: calls
(other players fold)

(2 players - in pot)
Turn: Ax Kx Kh 7x
Hero: checks
BB: bets ~3000
Hero: folds

Vil? shows AATxx

---------------
Blinds: 400/800?
Hero's stack: ~7k

Hero dealt in LP: AQJ53 (A3 suited)

Preflop:
(folds to Vil3)
Vil3: raises to 2000
Hero: calls
(other players fold)
Hero was calling IP

(2 players - 5200 in pot)
Flop: J53 two tone (hero does not have flush draw)
Vil3: bets 5000 (seat 3? maybe 4?)
Hero: tanks/folds.

Analysis:
Preflop: Hero could easily 3b preflop. Calling raise with suited A3 is ok with ~1 PSB on flop too.
Flop: TBH, this is an easy call with hero only having 1 PSB left and villain could be betting tons of air. Even in worse case scenarios, Hero easily has ~33% equity against nfd/nld. If hero sees sets (which are unlikely), hero's equity is crushed to ~20% though.

---------------
There was a scenario where stacks got intermingled between seats 1 & 5 (and possibly others) when all in.
L. F. worked with floor to replay the action so that stacks were proper as seat 5 got a couple more chips than everyone else.

---------------
Blinds: 600/1200
Hero has ~4k

Hero dealt in UTG: Ah Kx Jx 8x 3h

Preflop:
Hero raises all in
Vil1?: calls
Vil3: reraises all in
Vil1?: folds
Vil3: shows As Ax Jx 5x 2x

Board: Qx Tx Qx 9x 5x
Hero's stack: 12.3k

Analysis:
Preflop: With hero's stack size (~1 PSB), this is an all in push UTG.

---------------
Blinds: 800/1600
Hero's stack: ~8k
Hero dealt UTG: Ah Jx 8h 7x 3x

Preflop:
Hero: raises to 3500
Vil?: reraises all in (hero is all in for less)
other players fold

Hero: calls
Vil?: shows AAK52

Board: Qh 9x 6h Kx 6s

Analysis:
Preflop: This may have been a slightly loose open UTG, but hero had a tighter table image and on the short stack. Hero has to call against a < PSB raise.

---------------
Hero out in 55th or so. Keep running into good aces. Hero was up against AAw twice – Hero won one, but lost other for tournament life.
