200 PLO8 MTT at Golden Gates

20000 starting stack with 25/50 blinds and 20 min. levels

Table Reads by the time hero's first hand was played.

1 middle aged male with headphones and e-cig
2 woman
3 hero
4 40s male
5 60s male
6 empty seat, eventually older male
7 woman with wide VPIP
8 old guy, eventually realized he mentioned he played "Omaha"
9 young guy with beard
10 older guy with glasses

---------------
Hero was playing fairly loose and maybe wreckless.
One of three examples: Hero c/c a raise with Tx 7x 3s 2s in CO against a tight player raise.

Being mixed in with standard plays, it looked like hero was typical loose live player.
(such as Hero limp/called a raise with Ah Jx 3x 2h, but folded to Kh 9c Kx flop in a multiway pot)

Updated read:
Vil8: hero eventually determined he cbet too often.
---------------
Blinds: 75/150

Hero dealt in EP: Ax 6x 5c 2c

(Preflop)
6 players (including hero) limp

(6 players - 900 in pot)
Board: 8d Kh Tc 4c Qs
Vil2: bets 300
Hero: calls
Vil7: calls
Vil8: calls

(4 players - 2100 in pot)
Board: 8d Kh Tc 4c Qs
Vil2: bets 300
Hero: raises to 1500
Vil7: folds
Vil8: folds
Vil2: calls

(2 players - 5100 in pot)
Board: 8d Kh Tc 4c Qs
Vil2: bets 300
Hero: raises to 2000
Vil2: calls

Vil2: shows T4xx (no low draw) and scoops

Analysis:
Flop: Hero decides to call with backdoor low cards.
Turn: Hero decides to try to make a semi-bluff since villain's showing consistent weakness.
River: Hero thought it would be weird to fold, so hero decides to make small raise.
If hero was to make a play at this pot, hero needs to probably say the word "pot" instead of this small raise or raised to ~5k?
(hero should have raised bigger....this was a spew).

---------------
Blinds: 100/200

Hero's stack: ~5k
Hero dealt in BB: Ah Td 2h 2s

Vil7: limps
Vil8: limps
(3 folds)
Vil2 (SB): limps
Hero (BB): raises pot (1000 total)
(other players call)

(4 players - 4000 in pot)
Flop: Ax Tx 8x (rainbow, hero has no FD)
Hero: bets pot (4000)
other players fold

Analysis:
Preflop: Hero is trying to build up a stack or re-enter. This was definitely a loose repot.
Flop: Hero has top 2 pair and maybe should have bet a non-pot size to hopefully elicit a reraise.

---------------
Updated read: Vil8 seems to raise often (75%+ time) as PFR even in 4+ player pots.

---------------
Blinds: 200/400
Hero's stack: 14500

Hero dealt in BB: Ac Tx 9x 2c

Preflop:
Vil7: limps
Vil8: raises to 1400
(folds to Vil2)
Vil2: calls
Hero: calls
Vil7: calls

(4 players - 5600 in pot)
Flop: Qc Tc 2x
checks to Vil8.
Vil8: bets 4400
Hero: check raises all in to 14500
(other players fold)

Vil8: shows AQT3 (no flush draw, suited ace)

Board: Qc Tc 2x 6d Ah

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard call. A squeeze is a little light.
Flop: With hero's read, hero expects PFR to raise. Hero does well to get it in with huge amounts of equity.
Unfortunately, hero is out with time left for re-entry.

---------------
---------------
2nd Entry:
After waiting 5-10 minutes, Hero re-entered and was asked to draw from 3 open seat cards. Hero chooses same card and sits back at same seat.
(Note: Hero is not sure if this follows TDA rules.)

---------------
Hero resumes to 20k starting at 200/400 blinds.

Hero has shortest stack at the table.
Hero dealt in UTG+2: Ad 9d 9x 5d

Preflop:
8 players (including hero) limp.

(8 players - 3200 in pot)
Flop: Kh Ts 9s
(checks to Vil2)
Vil2: bets 600
Hero: raises to 3000
(other players fold)
Vil2: calls

(2 players - 9200 in pot)
Turn: Kh Ts 9s 8c
Vil2: checks
Hero: bets 5000
Vil2: calls

(2 players - 19200 in pot)
River: Kh Ts 9s 8c Js
Vil2: bets 10000
Hero: tanks/folds

Vil2: Says she had KTxx with nut flush draw.

Analysis:
Preflop: Table was very loose/passive preflop. This is a bit loose, but hero decides to gamble and try to build up a stack.
Flop: Hero can see villains calling super wide (flush draws, 2p, etc...). It's a somewhat thin value bet, but it's mitigated by shallower stacks and re-entry.
Turn: The nuts didn't really change, but only low wraps are the only hands that changed. Hero continues to fire and build a pot.
River: Villain's donk bet screams strength. The flush draw likely hit, so hero decides to avoid re-entering in this spot when likely drawing dead.

---------------
Hero was not happy to not see a tournament clock (they were all out of sight) and because of poor planning, hero wasn't able to bust and re-enter since hero had less than 1/2 starting stack.

Hero's stack at end of re-entry period: 10,300 @ 300/600 blinds

---------------
Blinds: 300/600
Hero dealt in EP: Ah Jc 7c 4c

Preflop:
Vil2 (~6k): limps
Hero (~10k): limps
Vil6: raises to 1500
Vil7: limps
Vil8: calls

(5 players - 9000 in pot)
Flop: Qc 9x 4c
all players check

(5 players - 9000 in pot)
Turn: Qc 9x 4c Ax
Vil2: bets 2700 (all in)
Hero: calls
other players fold

Vil2: shows AQJ4

River: Qc 9x 4c Ax Td
Vil2: doubles up

Analysis:
Hero can't really fold 2 pair here against villain's small (1/3 pot) donk bet (although villain's donk range is strong). Villain might be donking top pair only or worse...

Hero's stack: ~7k

---------------
Blinds: 400/800
Hero's stack: 6k (after blinds passed)

Hero dealt in CO: As Ts 3d 2d

Preflop:
(folds to hero)
Hero: raises to 2000
Vil8 (BB): reraises pot
Hero: calls

Vil8: shows AA44

Board: 2c 6x 4c 2h 7h
Hero gets quartered to 3100

Analysis: Nothing can really happen here with 8BBs. This is a relatively premium holding even against a repotter.

---------------
Hero dealt UTG+1: AK75r

Preflop:
Hero: raised pot (2800 of 3100)
All players fold.

Hero dealt in BB: T987r
Hero folds to 8h 6h 3x flop

---------------
Hero's stack: ~3100
Hero dealt in SB: Ax Ah 7h 6x

Preflop:
(folds to Vil8)
Vil8: raises to 2000
Hero: reraises all in
Vil8: calls

Vil8: shows Ac 9x 4x 2x

Board: Jx 5c 4c Kx 8x
Hero chops

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard

---------------
Blinds: 400/800
Hero dealt on Button: Ad 5x 4d 4x

Preflop:
2 players limp in
Hero limps

(5 players - 4000 in pot)
Flop: Kd 5d Jx
Vil6: bets 4000
(other players fold)
Hero: calls
(other players fold)

Vil6: shows K932x

Board: Kd 5d Jx Tx 2x (no flush draw)

Hero out.

Analysis:
Preflop: Hero limps with a not-great hand. Hero thinks he might be able to steal some pots on turns/rivers on some board run outs.
Flop: Hero is tilted and really shouldn't call even with "right price" given pot odds.

---------------
Hero out in 61st of 71 entries. Sadly, the field was very soft and hero's unhappy with overall mindset and play. There were some coolers, but it was frustrating.
Additionally, dealer was like "at least you tried" which made it even worse. Although given hero's fish call on the end, hero isn't really surprised.
