20000 starting chips at 25/50 blinds and 30 min. levels.
---------------
First Table Reads (Table 6):
1 (reentry - level 6) - mid aged guy with polo and beard
2 hero
3 middle aged Asian with glasses
4 older Caucasian with glasses
5 young Asian, glasses on head
6 young Asian with glasses
7 younger guy, sunglasses on head
8 Baltimore O's cap, young guy with headphones
9 young middle aged guy with cap
---------------
Hero late registered during level 6.
There were 21-23 players remaining, but the tournament clock had 32 players. (11 players were eliminated.)
---------------
Level 6 - Blinds: 300/600
(Hero folded 1 hand in BB to flop bet on AA7r board prior to playing this hand.)
Hero dealt in Button: Ah Jd Th 7d
Preflop:
8 handed
(folds to Hero)
Hero (But): raises to 1000
Vil3 (SB): calls
Vil4 (BB): calls
(3 players - 3000 in pot)

Vil3: checks
Hero: checks
Vil3: says "I have a pair."
Hero: shows 2nd pair.
Vil3: comments hero's betting 2nd pair on the turn.
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Hero has suited ace in position.
Flop: Hero could cbet flop, but hero decides to keep pot smaller.
Turn: This is not the worst card for hero, but hero decides to bet turn/check river if blank river. Hero likely has more fold equity, although a Kxxx is likely calling 1 street.
River: Hero is likely behind as straight draws (and Kxxx) are ahead of hero's hand. Hero is fortunate to win pot.
---------------
Hero's stack: ~27k
Hero dealt in SB: As Ax 9s 5s

Hero: calls (for tournament life)
Vil8: shows Tx Tx 9d 8d
(2 players - 57200 in pot, 1 all in)
Board: Tc Ad 7d Qh 5d
Analysis:
Preflop: Hero made mistake taking too long to figure out his stack and raise size. Hero needs to get better at remembering exact amount prior to cards being dealt so that amount of time to act is consistent.
Flop: Hero could bet/call (which may have been better), but there is a slightly better chance that villain will cbet on A high board, even in a 4 way pot. Results are the same.
Hero was flipping coins as a very slight favorite.
One villain mentioned that "Hero might have AAxx", but hero should have never been in that situation by simply staying consistent with "amount of time to act between hands".

Hero ran into some problems trying to determine how best to convert enough (but not too much) USD to CAD.
The casino's exchange rate was $1 USD -> $1.20 CAD. The current rate was $1 USD -> $1.31, so the rake was not awful. Hero was able to use Charles Schwab ATM card to withdraw money successfully.
Additionally, hero found out later on that credit card "MTT tournament purchases" are not treated as a cash advance at this area. Hero wasted some equity (and getting receipts) for the tournaments.

---------------
Hero's stack at Level 9 break (Blinds: 600/1200): 20000
---------------
Level 9 - Blinds: 600/1200
Hero dealt in UTG+2: Ac Kx Tx 2c
Preflop:

(6 players - 7200 in pot)
Flop: Ax 9h 2h
(checks to Vil4)
Vil4 (But): bets 5000
(all other players fold)
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. The hand is weak to try to isolate and play large pot.
Flop: Standard. Hero has weak/vulnerable hand and could bet/fold too. Hero would much rather see a turn card and reevaluate. When villain bets, it likely indicates a hand better than top and bottom pair.

Analysis:

Turn: Hero decides to get fancy and try to bluff. Hero could have easily hit a seven, even without any blockers. Unfortunately, Hero's steal attempt fails. (Hero may have fired a river barrel depending on the opponent.)

Vil6: shows Tx 8x (bottom end of straight)
Board: Qx Jh Qh 9x 5x
Hero's stack: 19300 -> 45800
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Hero could check raise here. But, hero decides to wait until turn because hero's stack would allow an all in situation.
Turn: Hero executes plan. Hero is happy based on Vil6's talk that hero is freerolling. Hero did not realize that hero was ahead in situation.
Hero's stack: 19300 -> 45800
---------------
Reads: Vil6 was near 100% VPIP, while Vil8 was TAG.
Level 11 - Blinds: 1000/2000

Vil6: shows 85xx
Vil8: shows Ah Xh Xx Xx (nut flush draw)
Likely Board: 4x 6h 7h 8h Qd
Hero did not write down exact board, but a flush came on turn to eliminate seat 6.
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Hero could also conserve chips (avoid coin flips on flop) by limping behind. Hero was hoping to keep it to 3 players.
Flop: Standard. Hero has 2nd nut flush draw, which may not be that great in MW pot with Vil8. Hero folds.
---------------
Table becomes 7 handed, then fills up.
Vil2 people back in, Vil6 busts.

Second Entry, First Table Reads (Table 4) With ~45 Players Remaining:
1 young guy, sunglasses on head
2 (level 12 - mid aged Asian with glasses)
3 young-middle aged Caucasian - with Baltimore Orioles cap
4 older guy with glasses
5 younger guy with play USA classic shirt
6 young Asian from 1st table, seat 5
7 old guy with beanie and sunglasses
8 old guy with WSOP 2014 hat and Venetian Deep Stack shirt
9 hero
---------------
Hero dealt in BB: Ax Kd Jx Td
Preflop:
(folds to Vil4)
Vil4 (HJ): calls
(folds to Vil7)
Vil7 (But): calls
Vil8 (SB): calls
Hero (BB): checks
(4 players - 8000 in pot)
Flop: 7h Qc 3h
Vil8: checks
Hero: checks
Vil4: checks
Vil7: bets 4500
Vil8: calls
Hero: folds
Vil4: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: This may have been a spot to raise the field, even if OOP. The problem is that if hero raises and only 1 caller, hero is left in awkward spot to be unable to jam on any flop.
Flop: Standard. Hero has no equity to continue.
---------------
Level 12 - Blinds: 1500/3000
Reads: Vil6 seemed very competent and was playing 2/5 PLO yesterday night.
Hero dealt in SB: Qc Js Ts 7h
Preflop:
(folds to Vil6)
Vil6 (CO): raises to 8500
Vil7 (But): folds
Vil8 (SB): folds
Hero (BB): thinks for a bit, then folds
Analysis:
Preflop: This was a very tight fold. Hero is OOP against a possible tough player. But, hero is short enough with good hand to trust skill post-flop.
---------------
Hero's stack at Level 13 break (Blinds: 2000/4000): 30500
---------------
Hero dealt in UTG+1: Kc Kx Qc 8x
Vil6 was competent player from first table.
Preflop:
(folds to Hero)
Hero (UTG+1): folds
Vil5: (not dealt into hand)
Vil6 (50k, BB)
Analysis:
Preflop: Hero was thinking about raise/calling on most flops. Hero did not decide to do it because player seemed competent with hero's effective 8BB stack. Perhaps this was a leak.
---------------
Hero dealt in Button: Jx Tx 9x 7x (rainbow)
Preflop:
(folds to Hero)
Hero (But): raises to 10000
Vil1 (SB): folds
Vil2 (BB): thinks for a bit, asks for hero's stack, then calls
(2 players - 22000 in pot)
Flop: Qx Qc 6c
Vil2: bets pot
Hero: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: This is awkward spot for hero. Hero does not have a pair and is in a condrum. If hero is donk bet into (likely), hero needs to think about ranges before calling. Is Vil2 betting any flop? Some flops?
Flop: This is a fold, even if Vil2 has complete air on bluff. Hero has no equity even unless it is Txxx or worse.
Hero's stack: 20500
---------------
Hero's stack: 20500
Hero dealt in CO: As Ks Js 3x
Preflop:
Vil4 (UTG): calls
Hero (CO): calls
Vil1 (But): raises pot
Vil2 (SB): folds
Vil3 (BB): folds
Vil4 (UTG): asks for hero's stack size, then folds
Hero: calls
Vil1 (But): shows Ah Ax 8h 2x
(2 players - 47000 in pot, 1 player all in)
Board:
Hero says that he had blockers which was why that was a call at the time.
Analysis:
Preflop: Hero originally thought of isolating limper, but hero decides to call.
Hero does not necessarily think call/call is best play, even if hero is only player left to act.
While hero does block AAxx, KKxx, should hero call with no fold equity, and just calling because of dead money/pot odds for MTT life?
On the positive side, hero is only up against 1 player versus a MW situation.
---------------
Hero out in 34/142.
Overall Thoughts:
Hero was not playing super well, especially in bust out hand. There were other spots where plays and hero's play actions at the table were not consistent. This caused some leaks.
It was pretty great to see so many reentries. Reentries are allowed through dinner (level 13, starting stack of 20000 at 2000/4000 blinds).
