10000 starting stack with 25/50 blinds and 30 min. levels
First Table Reads:
[none]
---------------
Hero showed up about 30 minutes late due to not feeling well and delays in finding lodging location and casino.
Hero late registered, but stood in line about 30 deep just for first bullet. At registration, hero was told that Total Rewards card was required, which hero misplaced. So, after about 10 minutes of going back down to Total Rewards desk to reprint a card, hero was able to go to "cut line" and finally register.
---------------
Level 3 - Blinds: 100/200
First hand after sitting down. Hero has no player reads.
Hero dealt in HJ: TT
Preflop:
Vil3: raises to 600
Vil6: calls
Vil7: raises to 2500
Vil3: thinks for a while, then folds
Vil6: raises AI to 8775
Hero: thinks for a while, then calls.
Vil6: shows AK
Board: Villain spikes A? on flop (hero doesn't remember)
Hero eventually hears that player 6 is a circuit regular.
Analysis:
Preflop: Hero's raise IP was a bit too large. It could have easily been 1800-2000 (slightly less than pot since IP).
Villain's play was a really weird play. It's rarely AA-KK...but hero could be wrong.
Hero's stack: 1225
---------------
4th hand

(3 players - ~2050 in pot)
River: Js Jc 8c Qs 4d

Analysis:
Flop: With so many players, hero decides to slow play. Betting can work too in a
Turn: Hero decides to start building a pot and get value from Qx and/or trying to price out draws.
River: It could be a good metagame play to check the blank river. It might have been better, but hero decides to bet and hope to get value from Qx.
---------------
Additionally, hero lost some chips when flat calling raise in MW pot with a low pocket pair.
---------------
Hero's stack at first break:

---------------
Hero dealt in ?: 66
Hero: raises to 900
Vil10 (8.1k): raises to 2100

(2 players - 4700 in pot)
River: Ac Jx Qc 4s 2d
both players check
Hero: shows KK
Vil4: mucks
Analysis:
Preflop: There's value in 3-bet pre, but hero decides to "slow play".
Flop: Hero decides that villain is likely cbetting often. Thus, hero decides to call 1, but probably not 2-3 streets of bets.
Turn: Hero continues playing properly in WAWB situation and pot controls.
River: A river bet is more likely a bluff than value, so hero decides to check.
Additionally: Hero determines that this player is likely a cbet/fold player and hero can likely float player IP.

---------------

None

Level 9 - Blinds/Antes: 300/600/75
Hero dealt in UTG+3: 77
Preflop:
Vil4 (UTG+2): raises to 1500
Hero: calls
(other players fold)
(2 players - 4575 in pot)
Flop: Qs 8c 4d
Vil4: bets 1600
Hero: calls
(2 players - 7775 in pot)
Turn: Qs 8c 4d 9s
Vil4: checks
Hero: bets 2700
Vil4: raises to 7k
Hero: thinks for a while, then folds
Vil4: flashes 44
Analysis:
Preflop: standard
Flop: Hero decides to float since villain may be cbetting with air.
Turn: Hero's bet may not have been that great. The line might be better to double barrel turn/river based on hero's bet size as villain can't really call 8x-JJ given multiple pressure on turn.
While there's a bunch of overs on the river, hero can check/decide IP on river and keep pot small.
---------------
Hero dealt in SB: QTo
Preflop:
(folds to hero in SB)
Hero (15k): raises to 1500
Vil6 (40k): calls
(2 players - 3675 in pot)
Flop: Ax 9x 4x (rainbow)
Hero: bets 2100
Vil6: raises to 5000
Hero: thinks for a while, then folds.
Analysis:
Preflop: Hero's ahead of random hand. Raise size could have been 1100 though to keep pot small/give better price on "steal".
Flop: Since villain just saw hero lose a big pot 5 hands earlier, hero might be perceived as weak-tight.
Villain's small raise on flop is a little suspicious (although normal sized given that it's easier to toss a single denomination chip). Regardless, hero decides to fold and conserve stack.
---------------
Hero's stack: 9k
Hero dealt on button: Ac 7c
Preflop:
Hero: raises to 1500
Vil7 (30k): calls
(2 players - 3975 in pot)
Flop: Jx 5x Jx (rainbow)
Vil7: donks 3k
Hero: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: With M = 6 | 15BB, this should have been an open shove.
Hero decides to play conservative and see if villains are paying attention to stack sizes. This backfired on villain flop donk bet.
---------------
Level 10 - Blinds/Antes: 400/800/100
Hero's stack: 7200

Hero out around ~120 in this flight.
---------------
Analysis:
The field was extremely soft. Many players were open limping even at higher levels.
There were 1930 entries over 3 flights of multi/re-entry across all flights. For a $365 buyin, $91k for first! (~250x ROI)
