---------------
Feedback (or discussions night before) = different procedures for actual WSOP event

Although hero didn't have descriptions, hero noted that many were players who played in the 30/60 mix at Rio, but also some randoms based on what other players said.

---------------
1st Table Reads:

1 middle aged male - said he called someone over from 20/40 mix to play SNG
2 ?
3 ?older Asian male with glasses
4 hero
5 H. H.
6 ?

---------------
After drawing for Dealer's Choice button, game selection started with Seat 1.
Hero doesn't remember who gets actual button.

---------------
Badacey:
(likely 75/150 limits)

Hero dealt in MP?: 32Axx (32Ar)

Pre-Draw:
Hero: raises
Vil?: reraises
(folds back to hero)
Hero: calls

Note: Action may have been 3 way in reraised pot)

1D 1B 2D 2B 3D 3B
Hero 2 x/c 2 x/c 2 x/f
Vil? 2 b 1 b 1 b

Hero's Hand after 1st Draw: 32Axx (32Ar)
Hero's Hand after 2nd Draw: 32Axx (32Ar)
Hero's Hand after 3rd Draw: 32Axx (32Ar)

Analysis:
Pre-Draw: Smooth 32Ar = raise. It doesn't feel like a cap b/c villain could have a badugi and have much better chances/equity to scoop.
1st Draw: Draw to 8-9+ badugi
Betting after 1st Draw: Check/Call is standard.
2nd Draw: Same as 1st
Betting after 2nd Draw: Hero can usually check-call IIRC. The math may actually dictate fold since hero's likely getting completely freerolled.
3rd Draw: At the time, hero didn't know exactly what to do. Based on further reading after the fact, it may have been best to try to get to a 86+ 2-7 even w/o badugi chances.
Betting after 3rd Draw: Sigh, hero doesn't have much of bluff catcher with villain only drawing 1.

---------------
2-7 TD:
(likely 100-200 limits)

Hero is on relative short stack.
Hero had a smooth 7 2 card draw and got there on 2nd draw with wheel (#1 = 75432)

Unfortunately, hero doesn't remember betting action. Hero doubles to about 400 against an 8xxxx

Hero loses some chips in probably another hand.

---------------
PLO8
(likely 50/75 blinds)

Hero: chooses PLO8 with short stack (maybe ~400 total) - level 4

PLO8:
Hero dealt in UTG+1: AJJ4r

Preflop:
Hero: raises to 200
Vil?: reraises to 600 (putting hero all in)
Hero: calls

Board: Ax Qx Kx 4x 7x (no fd)
Hero's  UTG+1 chops Ax 6x 3h 2h

---------------
Stud8:
(likely 200/400 limits)

Hero doesn't remember up cards and exact action.
3rd Street:
Vil?: (Xx Xx) Lx (2-5) __brings in__calls
Vil?: (Xx Xx) Xx __folds
Vil?: (Xx Xx) Xx __folds
Hero: (Jx 2x) Ax ________completes
Vil?: (Xx Xx) Bx __folds
Vil?: (Xx Xx) Bx __folds

(2 players)
4th Street:
Vil?: (Xx Xx) Lx Lx Lx
Hero: (Jx 2x) Ax 2x 2x

(2 players)
5th Street:
Vil?: (Xx Xx) Lx Lx Lx __checks___calls
Hero: (Jx 2x) Ax 2x 2x __bets (all in)

Hero continues to bet as Vil?'s board isn't very scary (no straight/flush draws) and in case villain paired up/has weak high hand.
Vil? eventually shows a low

Analysis:
3rd: Hero on a steal (sorry about lack of up cards).
4th: Although hero only has trips, hero has huge value even against 2 low board.
5th: Hero doesn't have many chips to do anything other than get it all in.

---------------
Hero eventually out in 4th around level 5 or 6. It may have been in Badeucy that hero busted.
Hero complimented dealer & tipped for doing a really good job. Usually, the cash amount (most of it) is dealer tip.

---------------
---------------
2nd SNG Reads:
1 Amnon Phillipi - met in AC playing HORSE
2 middle aged non-Caucasian guy who kept talking (chose NL 2-7 SD)
3 "SamENole" (Matt)
4 hero
5 Brett R. - mixed game player (mid 20s/early 30s) with glasses
6 British young male named Sam

Seat 1 didn't get to choose game before busting

---------------
Dealer's Choice Button started on seat 2:
Seat 2 -> NL 2-7 SD

Hero doesn't remember who gets actual button.

---------------
NL 2-7 SD:
(10/25 blinds, 5 ante)

Dealt to hero in MP?: T853 Q? (T8 draw)

Pre-draw:
Vil2: raises to 75
Hero: calls

(2 players - 215 in pot)
Draw:
Vil2: stands pat
Hero: drew 1

Hero's hand: T8xxx

(2 players - 215 in pot)
Post-draw:
Vil2: bets 200
Hero: tanks/calls

Vil2: shows 86xxx (may have been 87)
Hero: mucks

Analysis:
Pre-Draw: This seems ok to flat IP.
Post-Draw: Hero thought hard about ranges. What pat hands are villain betting? Does villain bet a lot of Txxxx? Hero beats only some of the Txxxx with T8.
This may have been a fold (not because of results, but possibly because of inaccurate hero determination of villain ranges in vacuum.

---------------
Badeucy:
(likely 50/100 limits)
Hero folded: 97643r (76r)

1D 1B 2D 2B 3D 3B
Vil? 3 x/c 2 x/f
Vil/BB 2 x/c 1 x/c 1 x/c/c?
Vil? 2 x/c 1 x/c 1 x/c/r
Vil? 1 b 1 b pat b/c

Hero's hand after 1st Draw: 96xxx
Hero's hand after 1st Draw: 976xxx

Villain shows #2 (76432) + 6432r badugi and scoops

Analysis:
Pre-Draw: Easy fold. Hero has no 2 and a really bad 2 card hand for badugi side.

---------------
Badacey:
(likely 75/150 limits)

Hero dealt in BB: 62Axx (62Ar)

Pre-Draw:
(folds to Vil3)
Vil3 (SB): calls
Hero (BB): raises
Vil3 (SB): calls

1D 1B 2D 2B 3D 3B
Vil3 3 x/c 2 x 1 x/c
Hero 2 b 1 c 1 b

Hero's Hand after 1st Draw: 62Axx (62Ar)
Hero's Hand after 2nd Draw: 632Ax (632Ar)
Hero's Hand after 3rd Draw: 632AA (632Ar)

Analysis:
Pre-Draw: This may have been a loose raise (52A may be better in Badacey), but hero's IP.
1st Draw: Hero doesn't pick up anything.
Betting after 1st Draw: Hero bets when card ahead (standard).
2nd Draw: Hero draws and gets badugi.
Betting after 2nd Draw: Hero bets when card ahead (standard).
3rd Draw: Hero bricks on freeroll.
Betting after 3rd Draw: Hero hopes villain doesn't have badugi and can fold. Hero's trying to scoop pot.

---------------
Hero's first selection was Badacey for more experience.
Hero likely chose NL 2-7 SD during 2nd selection (likely 4 handed).
Hero didn't seem to care about winning SNG and even admitted to table (since table seemed very tough and hero was asking if fish would even play this MTT tomorrow). Hero was genuinely concerned because there were few/any fish at all. In general, hero picked games that he needed to play for the next day.

---------------
Hero out (very likely) in 4th, possibly around level 7 (300/600 limits, 75/150/25 big bet game blinds)
Unfortunately, hero doesn't remember what game or how he busted. It may have been in Badeucy.

---------------
On a positive note, many of hero's friends passed by (in 1st SNG) and C. C. passed by with other friends in 2nd SNG. Hero also got some more valuable experience with choosing games and hero had trouble getting on mixed cash game lists anyway.
