Vil5: (Xx Xx) Xx ____folds
Hero: (4h 5h) Ah ____calls
Vil7: (Xx Xx) Xx ____folds
Vil8: (Xx Xx) 2x __brings in

(2 players - 2 5/6 small bets in pot)
4th Street:
Vil2: (Xx Xx) Kc Ks __bets
Hero: (4h 5h) Ah 5d __calls

(2 players - 2 5/12 big bets in pot)
5th Street:
Vil2: (Xx Xx) Kc Ks Qx __bets
Hero: (4h 5h) Ah 5d 9d __folds

Analysis:
3rd Street: This could have been a reraise. There is value in trying to reraise and overrepesent hand for later street fold equity. Hero will likely be OOP the rest of the way.
4th Street: Standard. Hero picked up pair, 3 flush, and 3 low.
5th Street: Hero bricked (no low or 2 pair), so hero folds.

---------------
Limit Omaha Hi/Lo

Hero dealt in CO: As 7x 7x 2s

Preflop:
(folds to hero)
Hero (CO): raises

(3 players - 8 big bets in pot)
Turn: Qx 9c 5c Tx
(all players check)

(3 players - 8 big bets in pot)
River: Qx 9c 5c Tx Ky (no flush completes)
Vil8: bets
Vil1: folds
Hero: folds

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. The reraise is bad and indicates hero could be dominated by stronger A2 and some AAxx hands.
Flop: Hero willing to call 1 bet with backdoor low draw, but is then forced to call 2nd bet on reraise. Hero's hand is not great in this spot.
Turn: Flop raiser checks back turn. Could this villain have a bad 2p or set?
River: PFR donk bets with likely AAJ or something similar. Standard fold.

Hero: shows hand
Vil8: mucks

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard to get value.
Flop: Standard.
Turn: Hero is not sure check is best. Hero is most likely going to get value from hands peeling flop, instead of hoping villain bluffs or would stay in weaker hands that can call a river bet.
River: Standard.

Vil7: (Xx Xx) 8x 4x 8x Jx (Xx) __calls

Hero: shows aces up.
Vil4: shows jacks up.
Vil7: says 8s up.

Hero wins hand.

Analysis:
3rd Street: This should have been a reraise as the bring in. Hero could have a really live hand (3 low flush cards, etc...) and not necessarily buried aces.
4th Street: There could be value in raising here as played. Hero decides to keep things slow (and represent a 4 low hand).
5th Street: Hero is very confused about hand. Vil4 could have 2p/trip jacks, while vil7 could have tripped up too. Hero decides to play it slowly in case of raise from behind (Vil7).
6th Street: Hero decides to try to peel for top 2 pair since pot is bloated and for implied odds (maximum 10 outs for top 2 pair, 2 outs for trips). This could be a fold though.
7th Street: Hero determines likely has best hand since J is in Vil7's board. Hero raises for value and correctly gets value.

Overall, hero probably should have reraised 3rd and possibly raised 4th too.

(2 players - 5.25 big bets in pot)
River: Qc Td Th 9c 7s

Vil3: says Queens and tens.
Vil5: mucks

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard with a weak AAxx hand.
Flop: Hero could bet and get value from worse Qxxx, but hero decides to check.
Turn: Hero should be calling 100% of time. Vil5's bet is not like in PLO8 or PLO which screams of some strength (slowplayed T, some straights). It could be a steal, even with a player behind. Hero should at least peel 1 street. If hero gets raised from behind, then folding is best.

4th Street: Hero bets with best board against a brick.
5th Street: Vil7 catches a scare card (3 flush/2 low board), hero checks.
6th Street: Vil7 likely auto bets pair. Hero continues and will likely check/fold if hero doesn't make 2p/trips.
7th Street: Hero makes a nut high hand and raises for value. Villain was likely betting 2p.

Analysis:
3rd Street: Standard to raise with 3 to a low straight flush.
4th Street: Hero semi-picks up with pair and bets for value.
5th Street: Hero should have continued betting in this spot for value. While high boards are scary, hero still has outs to get better than a low 2 pair (and still back into a low).
6th Street: Hero now decides to lead with Ace scare card (and 4 to a low).
7th Street: Hero is hoepfully bet/folding in this spot. Villains would likely raise with better than 2p against a likely low hand.

Vil4: mucks.

Analysis:
Preflop: This could be a reraise pre, but hero is short stacked and will not have any fold equity.
Flop: Standard to c/c as tptk is not a super strong hand.
Turn: Standard. This could be a spot to check/raise the field if hero was deeper. Hero picks up nut low + gutshot.
River: Hero could pick off a random bluff on river with top 2 pair, but hero decides to be conservative. Additionally, the nut flush card gets there on the river. Vil2 who donked out of turn on river likely picked up equity.

Boards:
Hero: Ax 4x Ax 8x Jx 6x Kx
Vil6: Ax 5x 7s 6h 5h 7h 8x

Analysis:
3rd Street: Standard to isolate completion.
4th Street: Hero's board is still strong and bets out.
5th Street: Hero bricked and villain's board becomes scary. Although villain did not raise 4th street, hero could be getting freerolled. Hero is too short to fold.
6th Street: Hero picked up a bit (low draw which may or may not be good) and is likely going with hand.
7th Street: Same as 6th street. It is sad villain backed into 2 pair, but hero was drawing live to scoop (pair up) or get a better low.

---------------
Hero out in 30th of 43 runners.
Field seemed to have more random players than the other mixed game tournaments (mainly because players were not scared off by random games like 5 stud or badeucy), but there were not too many weak players though.
