Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Suited ace IP is ok even if player is trying to isolate the field. Stacks are deep enough to call.
Flop: Standard. Hero has air.

Level 3 - Blinds: 75/150
9 handed (seat 8 is empty)
Read: Vil7 had high VPIP and was aggressive on flop (~40% VPIP over ~20 hands)
Hero dealt in SB: Kx Qx Qx 3x
Preflop:
Vil7 (UTG): calls

(2 players - 1800 in pot)
Turn: Ks 9s 3s 8x
Hero: checks
Vil7: bets pot (1800)
Hero: tanks, then folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Somewhat loose, but ok to play naked QQxx.
Flop: It's a somewhat tough spot. Vil1 was aggressive in 2 rotations. Hero was planning to call multiple streets with a bluff catcher since villain appeared to be aggressive. This is probably a leak.
Turn: Hero folded, giving up on read and did not trust. This was likely call down 2 streets, but not a triple barrel. Villain's range could be some semi-bluff hands (like sets), but most would not bet flop and turn. Those hands may semi-bluff flop or "bet to see where they're at", but that's about it.
---------------
Table is now 9 handed.
Hero did not write down action, but likely MW (3-4 players) pot and hero folded.
Hero dealt in ??: Ad 9x 9x 5d

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Suited ace IP is ok even if player is trying to isolate the field. Stacks are deep enough to call.
Flop: Standard. Even though PFR is last to act and bet is not large, hero has only backdoor equity.
---------------
Level 2 - Blinds: 50/100

River: Jx Kd 5d Ax Jx
Vil3: checks
Hero: bets 2100
Vil3: thinks for a long time, then calls
Hero: shows hand
Vil3: mucks
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Hero has relatively weak AAxx and deep stacks. Since hero is unable to put a majority of stack in preflop, there is little value in raising and folding most flops. Hero is set mining.
Flop: Standard. Hero has air and little fold equity on this board.
Turn: Standard. In 5 way pot, Vil3 could have made a nut hand, but hero planned to value bet board pairing cards, and bluff flush completing cards.
River: Standard. Hero would bet fairly large with entire turn continuing range (bricked flush draw/combo draws where made hand was worse than aces up, boats, etc...) when checked to on the river. Hero would raise a Vil3's bet too.
---------------
Hero's stack at Level 5 break (Blinds: 150/300): 10325

Board: Jx 7x 4s 3d Qh
Hero's stack: 475
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. A rundown is a standard open.
Flop: Standard. Hero has top pair, gutshot wrap, and backdoor flush draw on rainbow board. Hero has enough equity to bet/call as long as villain range is wider than top set.
---------------

Hero is out. There were about 55-60 entries at this time.
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. A rundown is a standard open.

Hero takes a short break, then re-enters the tournament.

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Limping behind in MP with KKxx is standard.
Flop: Standard. Hero has air against likely straight or set.

River: Qx Jx Tx Ax 8x
Vil2: checks
Hero: checks
Hero did not write down Vil2's hand, but it likely won at showdown.
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Rundown on the button is middle-top of range.
Flop: This is a marginal c-bet. Few worse hands are calling, and many straights will call down. Hero will fold out many weaker hands (one pair which could improve to worse 2 pair).
Turn: Standard. Villain's range contains many broadway straights or aces up. Hero tries to get showdown cheaply.
River: Standard. Hero could bet as a bluff more often, as hero does not beat many 2 pair hands. But, betting line would not make sense if hero was trying to represent a straight. Hero would need to barrel all 3 streets.
---------------

Hero: thinks for a bit, then calls
Vil1: folds
Vil3: shows Kx Td 7d 3x
Hero: mucks
Hero's stack: 5800
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Strong double suited aces = hero tries to isolate and play HU. Unfortunately, in a live MTT, an isolation raise can also strongly indicate AAxx since hero has not played large number of hands.
Flop: Standard. Hero has air.
Turn: Standard. Hero has air.
River: This could actually be a fold. It is very likely an unbalanced "live play" small river value bet to get AAxx/KKxx to call with good 2 pair.
---------------

Hero's stack: 5400 -> 13200
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. AAxx where raise can commit entire stack and be large price to other callers.

Turn: Jd 6x 3d 8x
Hero: checks
Vil2: checks
Hero: shows 2 pair
Vil2: mucks
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Hero does not have strong hand and prefers to see flop.
Flop: Standard. Hero has decent equity (bottom 2 pair, nut flush draw). Hero bets for value/equity edge and gets called.
Turn: Standard. Same as flop, but it begins to question what is Vil2's calling range? Is it naked top pair?
River: Hero does not see much value in trying to bet 3 streets. Hero is in check/call mode. Hero gets to showdown and wins the hand.

Vil9 and Vil3? shows AQxx

Analysis:
Preflop: This was a decent enough hand to raise even in BB, but hero decides that the stacks are shallow enough to play a smaller pot OOP.
Flop: Standard. In MW pot, hero expects to see a flush often. It looks like Vil8's bet was a live "feeler" bet, even though it's a static board.

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Hero is able to get most of stack in on flop. Hero can maybe fold a 3 straight board, but it's better to try to setup fold equity.

Hero dealt in But: Kc Kx Xc Xx (single suited kings)
Preflop:

Analysis:
Preflop: This is probably a leak. Hero can just play a MW pot with KKxx single suited. Hero can also try to isolate (1 caller = ~2/3 SPR), but hero's IP actually makes it tougher since OOP villains can bluff all boards.

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Hero decides to let an aggressive player try to bluff at pot while risking a board pair. Given hero's stack size, hero decides to give a free card.
Turn: Hero's slow play works. Hero cold calls and hopes villain fires again on river.
River: Standard.

Analysis:
Preflop: A PFR raise or check can work. Most players would raise KKxx to try to build pot, but stacks are relatively deep and hero has bad KKxx.
Flop: Standard. Hero has air.
Turn: Hero decides to semi-bluff and wins pot.

Board: 8x 7x 2x 6x Xx
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Standard. Hero has bottom stack with short effective stacks. Hero's raise would not normally happen with deeper stacks, but stacks sizes merit a raise as villains are also betting fairly light in this spot (as weak as over pairs or small wraps).
Hero's stack: 26200 -> 19000

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Hero can also try to play a HU pot by raising, but hero decides to try to have deeper stacks.
Flop: Standard. Hero has air.
Turn: Standard. Hero has air.
River: Hero decides to make value bet (with likely best hand) using bet size (that is bluffy). Maybe a value bet of smaller size would get more calls, but hero had no reads to alter a bet size choice.

Hero dealt in SB: Ax Ac Xx Xc (AAxx single suited)
Preflop:
(folds to Vil3)
Vil3 (But): raises pot to 5600
Hero (SB, 26k): reraises pot
Vil6 (BB): folds
Vil3: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Perhaps this is a better spot to check/jam or jam most flops instead of trying to jam with likely AAxx. Vil3 looked competent and was observing hero's play, so this could easily be a spew. If hero had a single/double suited 1 gapper, this might be a much better play than "turning hero's hand face up"
---------------

(2 players - 10600 in pot, 1 player all in)
Board: 8x 3x 4x 9x 2x
Analysis:

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Hero is able to get stack in on most flops if 1 player calls. Hero can also use fold equity to take pot down preflop. Hero could avoid jamming preflop though and be deceptive.
Hero's stack: 18200 -> 28200

Analysis:
Preflop: A raise or fold is fine. These are ok KKxx. Hero can build pot and show initiative, but either play can work.
Flop: Standard. Hero has overpair and 2nd nut flush draw.
Turn: Standard. Hero tries to avoid bloating pot too much and forcing an all in situation.
River: Hero bets with blockers to nut straight. A triple barrel flop/turn/river bet was likely better given hero's strong hand may have been best.

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Hero has strong hand at top of CO open range.
Flop: A bit non-standard. Hero has a very strong hand and it not worried much about draws. Hero knows that stacks can get in on 2 streets, so hero decides to wait until turn/river to maximize potential pay off. It works as Vil5 does hero's betting.
Turn: Same as flop.
Hero's stack: 36000 -> 69900

Preflop:
Vil1 (UTG): raises to 8000
Hero (UTG+1): reraises to 26000

Preflop:
(folds to Vil1)
Vil1 (CO, 23.9k): raises to 8000

Vil1: bets 15900 (all in)
Hero: thinks for a long time about math, then folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: It is actually a close spot. Hero needs about 31% equity. Hero is only getting about 28.27% equity if against a range of AAxx, but what if there is A3

So, it depends on how much air villain has, and how wide Vil1's opening range is. Would he jam Axxx?

---------------
Hero out in 12/73. 8 paid.
Overall Thoughts:
Hero made some small mistakes, especially with shorter stacks and turning hero's hand "face up" as AAxx in shorter situations. Hero needs to incorporate adding some call preflop/jam flop into repertoire.
The field seemed to be a mix of NLHE circuit grinders (who may have questionable PLO skills).
It was disappointing to see so few entries though compared to the 8 game mix that was running in Reno at noon on same day (which got ~130+ entries)
