---------------
Level 2 - Blinds: 50/100
Hero dealt in BB: Ad Ac 5d 4c
Stacks are about 10k deep.
Preflop:
Vil2 (UTG): limps
Vil3: raises to 300
Vil7: calls
Hero: calls
Vil2: calls
(4 players - 1200 in pot)
Flop: Qx 4h Kh
Hero: checks
Vil2: checks
Vil3: bets 800
other players fold.
Analysis:
Preflop: Hero could try to raise here with very premium aces, but there's a couple problems:
1. Unless many people call, hero won't be able to get enough of stack in preflop to auto bet the flop properly.
2. Hero can play it more deceptively and outplay people post flop.
3. Hero's OOP.
Flop: Hero standard c/f is ok with naked overpair.
---------------
Level 3 - Blinds: 75/150
Hero dealt in BB: Ad Ax 6d 3y

Vil1: check/raises pot
(all players fold)
Analysis:
Preflop: There is some merit in potting preflop and trying to get shorter handed. Hero decides to keep pot smaller.
Flop: Hero decides to keep pot small b/c most turn cards give higher straight. It's probably not best play IP though.
Turn: This was weak-tight to fold with some 2p->boat out redraw and some bluff outs (diamonds).

Vil8 (BB): calls

Analysis:
Preflop: The table did not seem overly aggressive, so a call seems warranted.
Flop: Hero decides to start getting value and setup a turn AI play.
Turn: Hero gets a non-flush completing turn card and hopes villain might call with sets. Unfortunately, both players fold.
---------------
Hero's stack at level 5: 14050 @ 150/300
---------------
Hero dealt in HJ: Qs Qc Js 7x
Preflop:
2 players limp
Hero: limps
Vil2 (SB): calls
Vil3 (BB): checks
(5 players - 1500 in pot)
Flop: Jh Th 7c
(all players check)
(5 players - 1500 in pot)
Turn: Jh Th 7c 8c
Vil?: bets ?
Hero: calls
(2 players - ~2500-3000? in pot)
River: Jh Th 7c 8c 9x
(both players check)
Hero wins with straight.
Villain mucks.
Analysis:
Preflop: This is ok in LP assuming stacks are deep for set mining purposes.
Flop: Hero doesn't really have hand.
Turn: Hero floats with some bluff outs and has some value against bluffs.
River: Hero has a decent straight and would rather let villain bluff with worse hands.
---------------
Hero dealt in BB: Qx 8s 7s 5x
Preflop:
Vil1: calls
Vil5: calls
Vil8 (SB): calls
Hero (BB): checks
(4 players - 1200 in pot)
Flop: Qx 3x Js 4s 6s
Hero bet 600
Vil1: calls
Vil5: folds
Vil8: folds
(2 players - 2400 in pot)
Turn: Qx 3x Js 4s 6s
Hero: bets 1500
Vil1: calls
(2 players - 5400 in pot
River: Qx 3x Js 4s 6s
Hero: bets 3000
Vil1: folds
Analysis:
Flop: This is a bet to try to take pot down since hand does not likely have a lot of equity by showdown.
Turn: Hero continues semi bluff.
River: This sometimes feels like spot to check/call a bluff. But, this may be incorrect logic.
Since villain called multiple bets, it's more weighted towards 2p/sets than back door flush draws.
The bet does not seem to really get worse hands to call...
Hero's bet is probably a spew.
---------------
Level 7 - Blinds: 250/500
Hero dealt in UTG+1: Ad Jd 9s 6s
Preflop:
(folds to hero)
Hero: raises to 1100
Vil3 (loose player): calls
(2 players - 2950 in pot)
Flop: Ah 7h 2x
Hero bets 1600
Vil3: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: This is a little loose, but hero decides to exploit hero's tighter table image.
Flop: Since hero raised preflop, hero's range usually crushes Axx boards. Hero likely bet/folds though b/c villain is raising sets in this spot.
---------------
Level 7 - Blinds: 250/500
(next hand)
Hero limps in UTG: Ad Ax 4c 3c
(other players limp)
(4-5 players - 2000-2500 in pot)
Flop: Td 9d 8x
Hero folds to bet
---------------
(1 rotation later)
Hero dealt in UTG: Kx Kh Th 6c
Reads: Vil8 was somewhat loose.
Preflop:
Hero (UTG): raises to 1100
Vil8 (BB): calls
(2 players - 2450 in pot)
Flop: 9d 8d 3c
both players check
(2 players - 2450 in pot)
Turn: 9d 8d 3c As
Vil8: checks
Hero: bets 1500
Vil8: calls
(2 players - 5450 in pot)
River: 9d 8d 3c As 5h
both players check
Vil8: shows A755 (Axxx suited) and wins pot.
Analysis:
Preflop: This is a bit of a loose preflop raise with a mediocre KKxx hand.
Flop: Hero probably should have bet/folded flop. Hero tried to pot control because hero does not have strong hand.
In reality, this is a bad spot to play a turn b/c so many turn cards are bad. When hero is IP in HU pot, hero should bet to get villains to fold air.
Turn: Hero decides to start betting as a bluff. Sigh.
River: Hero is likely beaten and will probably not get villain to fold Axxx.
---------------
Level 8 - Blinds: 300/600
Hero dealt in HJ: Ad Qx Td Th
Preflop:
(folds to hero)
Hero: raises to 1300
Vil3 (BB): calls
(2 players - 2600 in pot)
Flop: Jh 2h Jx
Hero: bets 1900
Vil3: thinks for a while, then folds.
Analysis:
Preflop: This is a fairly strong hand (3 broadways w/ suited ace) in late position. Easy steal hand.
Flop: This is a bet that needs to happen. Villain will likely only continue with Jx and some AAxx hands.
---------------
Table change. 20 min left in level 8. 12450 300 600 PLO.

Hero dealt in HJ: As Js 8d 3d
For this hand, seats 7 and 9 were empty.
Preflop:
(folds to hero in HJ)
Hero (UTG+2): raises to 1300
Vil6 (UTG+3): calls
Vil8 (HJ): folds
Vil2 (But): calls
Vil4 (BB): calls
(4 players - 5200 in pot)
Flop: 9x 6x 3c
(4 players - 5200 in pot)
Turn: 9x 6x 3c Qc
(4 players - 5200 in pot)
River: 9x 6x 3c Qc Kx
Hero: bets 2200
other players fold
Analysis:
Preflop: This is a bit loose to raise preflop.
Flop: Hero has no hand and little fold equity.
Turn: Same as flop.
River: This completes OESD and hero decides to bluff at pot.
Hero discovers that players are pretty weak tight especially since hero raised.
---------------
Hero dealt in BB: Xx Xx Xx Xx
Preflop:
2 players limp.
(3 players total - 2100 in pot)
Flop: 7x 3x 2x (rainbow)
Hero: bets 1000
other players fold
Analysis:
Flop: Hero discovers players are playing somewhat weak tight. Since hero's range is super wide as BB, hero will likely get more credibility. Also, players may not fight for limped pots as much.
--------
Table Reads:
Additionally, players are still open limping for the most part.
--------
Hero got no action (all players folded to hero's preflop raise) with Kc Jd Tc 9d.
--------
Level 9 - Blinds: 400/800
Hero dealt on button: 9c 8c 6c 4h
Preflop:
(folds to hero on button)
Hero: raises to 1700
Vil6: reraises pot to 5700
Hero: calls
(2 players - 12000 in pot)
Flop: Jx Jc 2d
Vil6: bets pot (12000)
Hero: tanks/folds
Vil6: says he had AAJx
Analysis:
Preflop: Hero made right play to call, but it is close since hero's calling for 1/3 of stack and flipping when flopping any pair. Villain's range is heavily weighted towards AAxx.
Flop: Horrible flop = fold...
--------
Level 10 - Blinds: 500/1000
Twitter: made horrible float on kqt6 rainbow then 2 flush turn with pair and third nut flush draw after flop check. 7300 500 1000
Hero likely was in BB and dealt KQT6 rainbow.
Flop was likely checked around and so hero decided to float on a draw heavy 2-flush board. River likely completed no draws and hero folded to 2nd bet.
Unfortunately, hero doesn't remember exact hand history context.
--------
Hero's stack: 7000
Level 10 - Blinds: 500/1000
Hero dealt in UTG+3: Qc Jd Tc 7d
Preflop:
(folds to hero)
Hero: raises to 2300
Vil1 (BB, 25k): called
(2 players - 5100 in pot)
Flop: Tx 3c 2c
Vil1: checks
Hero: bets all in
Vil1: calls
Vil1: shows Ac Xc 4x 5x
Board: Tx 3c 2c 9c 4s
Analysis:
Preflop: Pretty standard open when folded to hero.
Flop: With 1 PSB left and pair + side overcards, this is a bet/call.
Villain's hand is not great to see for hero.
---------------
Summary:
Hero out around 49th at level 12.
There were a large number of limped pots even at late stages of MTT. It was unusual, even for a PLO/PLO8 MTT.
Hero also realized and fixed a leak: hero was not trying to steal a lot of limped pots and/or fighting for pots. Hero stole 3+ pots that helped preserve stack above 20BBs for a while.
