Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Standard cbet on 3 low board. Hero can see villain check/calling with overcards too.
Turn: This was probably a double barrel spot. Hero made the wrong play by deciding to check. (It does not likely hit either player, but hero is still PFR.)
River: This is a leak to bet on the end. Hero has little fold equity as a backdoor heart draw is a small part of hero's range.

Analysis:

Flop: Hero tries to cheaply get to showdown.
Turn: This is more likely a check than a bet because there is little fold equity on a low turning board.
River: Hero does not see value in raising a decent bluff catching hand. Hero does not suspect that raising will get value from any worse hands.

Analysis:
Preflop: Hero can raise to isolate or call. Both options have merit. It may be better to isolate given the hand strength.
Flop: Standard.
Turn: Standard. Hero likely has at least best high hand/draw, and could be scooping especially if it is a HU pot.
River: Vil2 likely had top 2 pair/set and folded to donk bet. Standard for hero to just call with naked 2 pair/bad low.

5th Street: Standard. Hero is in a WA/WB situation. There is little chance that hero is drawing dead because Vil8 only limped on 3rd.
6th Street: Standard. Hero is in a WA/WB situation and may be drawing dead though.
7th Street: Standard. There may not be value in raising a naked A against a strong villain board.

Analysis:
3rd Street: Standard. Hero is in steal position.
4th Street: Hero does not know what to do. It's obvious that villain does not have trip kings since hero has other 2 Kings. Although villain has slightly better chance of already having 2 pair, it's more likely Vil6 has a bunch of broadway cards and may have pair + 2 broadways. It's still a weird play.
5th Street: Hero is now more concerned that this hits villain's range well. Could hero be drawing to 3 Ace outs? It's a WA/WB situation. Hero decides to fold.

Analysis:
3rd Street: Standard to defend with pair. It is actually a really great spot to reraise in the bring in. Hero likely has best hand against a wide LP steal range.
4th Street: Hero takes betting lead, but this is possibly a spew. Hero bricks, but likely has best high hand. If Vil2 raised, hero could be at a huge equity disadvantage.
5th Street: Standard. Vil2 bricks and hero picks up strength. Hero's range looks like Kings Up (2 pair), while villain may have nothing more than a bad low draw.

Vil1 says he "folded a 7".
Analysis:
3rd Street: Somewhat loose. Hero makes a loose peel against a likely steal situation.
4th Street: Hero decides to play it slow on 4th and likely check/fold to more aggression on 5th.
5th Street: Debatable bet. Hero is trying to overrepresent hand, but this may not be great spot to lead. Vil1 will jam strong 6+/7+ draws correctly against hero.
6th Street: If hero bet 5th, hero bets 6th. If hero checked 5th, hero checks 6th.
7th Street: Since hero has shown aggression on every street, hero has to follow through to represent making a made hand better than an 8. Hero is fortunate that Vil1 folds.

Hero's stack: 9200 -> 35700
Analysis:
3rd Street: Standard. Hero has some dead cards, so reraising is not ideal even in a cash game. Also, hero's stack is short, so hero needs to conserve bets.
4th Street: Hero could reasonably jam the pot here, but hero decides to not scare off villains and try to maximize profit.
5th Street: Hero correctly slow plays to avoid making it look like hero made a flush on 5th.
6th Street: Hero lets other villains bet and hero gets all in by river.
7th Street: Same as 6th street. The plan succeeds.

Vil1 wins pot.
Analysis:
3rd Street: Standard. Hero may have best low draw/combo draw as everyone has dead ace.
4th Street: Hero and Vil1's hand are dead. Hero is not necessarily wanting to put additional bets into pot. Vil4 is representing a high hand (buried pair).
5th Street: Hero expects best low draw (seat 1) to bet. Hero may not be ahead for either direction and may fold to a bet. When Vil1 checks behind, it looks like Vil1 has bricked low draw or pair.
6th Street: Vil1 donk bets equals strong high hand. Regardless of the action, hero is folding as hero is hoping to get 1/2 (and may not get half with worse low draw).

Vil4: (Xx Xx) Ax 8x Jx Tx (9x)
Hero: (6x 3x) Ah 4x 8x Jx (Kx)
Vil6: (Xx Xx) 4x As 5x 6x (7x)
Vil6: shows 76 low
Vil4: shows 86 low
Vil6: wins side pot.
Hero: shows 86 low
Vil6: wins main pot.
Vil4 and Hero are both eliminated.
Analysis:
3rd Street: Standard. Hero sees many duplicated up cards, so hero's equity increases.
4th Street: Hero likely has best draw and continues to get money into pot.
5th Street: Hero may be behind with made 86 against possible wheel, but hero has very strong re-draw. There could be value in just letting Vil6 put in action though rather than forcing hero to "go all in".
---------------
Hero out in 53rd (first time hero is eliminated with another player at same time).
Analysis:
Hero needs to continue to improve in LHE.
Hero's LO8 play seemed ok. This was due to additional work in short handed and button/blind defense play. This is an aspect of hero's LO8 game that can improve.
Hero generally felt decent against most players razz play.
Hero felt out of place in some of the weird stud spots. It seemed pretty rare to be in spots with multiple dead door cards. Hero needs to remember that stud ranges are (buried pairs, overs) and not just split pairs in that spot.
Hero felt strongest in stud8.
Field seemed to be a higher percentage mix of stronger players. This seemed normal given that it is a higher buy in and also a "Golden Nugget" championship event. There did not seem to be anyone that was a complete fish.
