365 PLO at Hard Rock Tulsa

10000 starting chips at 25/50 blinds and 30 min. levels.

First Table Reads (Table 34):

1 hero
2 younger guy with grey hair
3 empty
4 old guy with cap and beard
5 mid aged grey hair guy with glasses
6 middle aged guy with glasses wearing under armour shirt
7 old guy with glasses
8 guy w/ yellow sunglasses
9 younger guy with beard

---------------
Hero late registered during level 4.

---------------
Level 4 - Blinds: 100/200

(1st hand at table)
Hero dealt in CO: Ad 9x 9x 3d

(8 handed, Seat 3 is empty.)
Preflop:
Vil5 (UTG): raises pot
(2 other players raise pot)
(folds to Hero)
Hero: folds

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Hero's hand has very little equity even against AAxx (likely range for reraises in deep stack live PLO MTTs)

---------------
(3rd hand at table)
Hero dealt in UTG: Kd Kx Qd 6h

(8 handed, Seat 3 is empty.)
Preflop:
Hero (UTG): calls
(folds to Vil5)
Vil5 (HJ): calls
(folds to Vil8)
Vil8 (SB): calls
Vil9 (BB): checks

(4 players - 800 in pot)
Flop: 6x 6s 9s
Vil8: checks
Vil9: checks
Hero: bets 600
Vil5: raises to 1600
Vil8: folds
Vil9: folds
Hero: calls

(2 players - 4000 in pot)
Turn: 6x 6s 9s 8s
Hero: checks
Vil5: checks

(2 players - 4000 in pot)
River: 6x 6s 9s 8s 5c
Hero: bets 2400
Vil5: thinks for a bit, folds A6xx face up

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Standard. Hero could theoretically fold though, as villains are likely only raising A6xx. Hero's plan is to try to showdown, but also have some spots where hero may turn hand into bluff.
Turn: Vil5's check indicates some weakness. Hero's hand is not necessarily best though.
River: Hero turns hand into bluff. Hero's range does consist of 99xx, and lots of rundowns containing a 6 that likely filled up.
Without reads, it's a tough spot as hero has to make a judgment for whether Vil5 is competent or not. It was a limped pot, so Vil5 likely has A6xx more than other hands. If hero gets raised, it's an easy fold.
If Vil5 was a weaker player, this could be a spew as Vil5 might hero call with A6xx.

---------------
(4th hand at table)
Hero dealt in BB: As Jh Jd 5c

(8 handed, Seat 3 is empty.)
Preflop:
(all players call)
Hero: checks

(8 players - 1600 in pot)
Flop: Ad Ax 8d
Vil9 (SB): checks
Hero: bets 800
(other players fold)

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Standard. Hero may get value from worse Axxx, and hero wants to price out players who might spike their kicker.

---------------
Hero's stack at Level 5 break (Blinds: 150/300): 13500

---------------
Level 5 - Blinds: 150/300

Hero dealt in BB: Js 9s 8c 4s

(8 handed, Seat 3 is empty.)
Preflop:
(folds to Vil5)
Vil5 (UTG+2): calls
Vil6 (HJ): folds
Vil7 (CO): calls
(folds to Hero)
Hero (BB): checks

(3 players - 1050 in pot)
Flop: 4s 8c Ts
(all players check)

(3 players - 1050 in pot)
Turn: 4s 8c Ts 7x
Hero: bets 700?
Vil5: folds
Vil7: folds

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: This was probably a better spot to consider getting. Hero has decent equity against 1 hand. However, there is some merit to checking because a call might mean hero is unsure of both villains' calling ranges (which are likely a bunch of draws, with some occassional made hands like top 2/set).
Turn: Standard. Hero likely has best hand and redraw outs. Hero hopes to get value from other players.

---------------
Hero dealt in SB: Ac Kx Jx Jc

(8 handed, Seat 3 is empty.)
Preflop:
(folds to Vil8)
Vil8 (But): calls
Hero (SB): calls
Vil9 (BB): checks

(3 players - 900 in pot)
Flop: 6c Ah 8d
Hero: checks
Vil2: checks
Vil9: bets 500
Hero: calls
Vil2: folds

(2 players - 1900 in pot)
Turn: 6c Ah 8d 6c
Hero: checks
Vil9: checks

(2 players - 1900 in pot)
River: 6c Ah 8d 6c Ks
Hero: checks
Vil9: bets 1000
Hero: calls

Vil9: shows 9x 7x 5x 4x
Hero: wins pot

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Standard. With Vil8's bet, it could be a small steal on the button (instead of raising preflop). Hero decides to call.
Turn: Standard to check/decide, but somewhat close. Hero may consider check/call since hero has picked up flush draw against possible weak opponent button opening range. Hero would likely c/f non-flushing rivers (and possibly bet/fold flushing river cards).
If hero faced bet, it would be tough, but likely a check/call turn and fold river. It's a tough spot though, and reads can help.
River: Standard. Hero is picking off bluff since many draws missed on the river. Hero correctly assumes a weak button range with many bluffs.

(all players check)

(5 players - 1500 in pot)
Turn: 6h Jh 9h Qh
Hero: checks
Vil2: bets 1500 (pot)
(all players fold)

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Standard. Hero has very little equity, and a bluff is not profitable with 5 players.
Turn: Standard. Hero has no equity.

---------------
Updated Table Reads (Table 34):

1 hero
2 younger guy with grey hair
3 (level 5) - mid age guy with gold hair, black clover cap
4 old guy with cap and beard

Vil5: reraises all in
Vil9: calls

Vil5: shows Tx 7x 2x 2x
Vil9: shows Ac Ax Qx 5c

Board: 8x 2c 3c 7s Ks

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Tough, but standard spot. Hero may have a good wrap, but flush draw is likely just blocker cards against 2 players raising and reraising. If this was a HU pot, hero would likely consider calling all in.

Hero: mucks

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Standard.
Turn: Standard, but check/fold can also work. Hero decides to be aggressive.
River: A check is a mistake. Hero is unsure why this was not a double barrel. It was mostly a brick card, and hero has lots of fold equity to a double barrel (representing made straight, some sets, etc..., since it's a limped pot).

---------------

(8 handed, Seat 3 is empty.)
Preflop:
Vil5 (UTG): calls

Flop: 8d Qx Jd

(all players fold)

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Standard. Hero has little equity on a wet board with a possible straight on board.

---------------

(8 handed, Seat 4 and 6 busted, but Seat 4 is refilled)

Analysis:

Flop: Standard. Hero has little hand equity and fold equity.
Turn: Standard. Same as flop.

---------------
Level 8 - Blinds: 400/800

Hero dealt in CO: Ad 9x 9x 3d

(8 handed, Seat 3 is empty.)
Preflop:
Vil5 (UTG): raises pot
(folds to Hero)
Hero: folds
Vil9 (UTG): calls

Analysis:
Preflop: Marginal play either way. Hero would likely have position to steal limped pot, so it just depends. Hero’s read does not sway one way or the other.

---------------
Hero gets moved to new table.
Hero's stack at new table (Blinds: 400/800): 11350

Break occurs soon after.

Hero's stack at Level 9 break (Blinds: 500/1000): 10200

Vil1: checks
Vil2: checks
Hero: bets AI (9000)
(all players fold)

Analysis:
Preflop: Hero raises to try to get stack in middle on most flops.

---------------
Hero dealt in UTG: Tx 9s 8s 5x

(8 handed, Seat 3 is empty.)
Preflop:
Vil5 (UTG): raises pot
(folds to Hero)
Hero: folds

Analysis:
Preflop: Tight fold. Hero does not have many big blinds left, but this is a decent spot to play a hand, even if OOP.

---------------
Hero dealt in BB: Xx Xx Xx Xx

Preflop:
(folds to Vil2)
Vil2 (But): calls
Vil4 (SB): calls

(3 players - 3000 in pot)
Turn: 7x Ax Ax Ax
(all players check)

(3 players - 3000 in pot)
River: 7x Ax Ax Ax 2x
(all players check)

Analysis:
Preflop: Unknown as hero did not write down hand.
Flop: Hero could have tried to steal pot. This may have been a leak.
Turn: Standard. Hero checks entire range in this spot.
River: As played, hero could try to steal pot with a small bluff (with QQxx/KKxx) and fold to raise. Hero may have been slowplaying the only Axxx combo, but hero did not try to steal pot in this spot.

---------------
(45 players are left)
Third Table Reads (Table 63):

1 old guy with glasses and cap
2 mid aged guy with glasses (read: hero had seen Vil2 bluff a decent amount of time)
3 (empty)
4 Chicago Cubs jersey wearing middle aged guy
5 hero
6 African American guy with gold Dr. Beat headphones
7 young/middle aged Asian guy
8 older guy with cap
9 older guy

---------------
Level 9 - Blinds: 500/1000

Hero dealt in But: Ac Tx 4c 3x

(8 handed, Seat 3 is empty.)
Preflop:
(folds to Vil4)
Vil4 (CO): calls
Hero (But): calls
Vil6 (SB): raises pot (to 4500)
Vil7 (BB): calls
Vil4: folds
Hero: folds

(2 players – 11000 in pot)
Flop: Qc Jc 9x
Vil6: bets all in
Vil7: calls

Vil6: shows JJ88
Vil7: shows Ac Ax Xx Xx

Analysis:
Preflop: It's a tough spot. There is some merit in folding preflop. But if it limps around preflop, then there is a chance Hero may be able to steal pot on some turn/river cards since limped pots are generally less fought over. Hero thought that blinds would simply try to see flop instead of trying to jam chips in middle preflop. Hero's call/fold preflop is standard. Hero does not have great equity against likely AAxx/KKxx/broadway type hands.

---------------
Level 10 - Blinds: 600/1200

Hero dealt in HJ: Ah Kd Th 9x

(7 handed, Seats 3 and 9 are empty.)
Preflop:
(folds to Hero)
Hero (HJ): raises to 3000
(folds to Vil9)
Vil9 (BB): calls

(2 players - 6600 in pot)
Flop: Ad 5d 4h
Vil9: checks
Hero: bets 4000
Vil9: folds

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Standard. Hero likely bet/calls. Hero has decent equity, backdoor draws, and nut flush blocker.

---------------
Read: Vil2 had bluffed fairly often in hero's observations
Hero dealt in UTG: Kc Kh Tc 7h

(7 handed, Seats 3 and 9 are empty.)
Preflop:
(folds to Hero)
Hero (UTG): raises to 3000
(folds to Vil2)
Vil1 (But): calls
Vil2 (SB): folds
Vil4 (BB): calls

(3 players - 9600 in pot)
Flop: As Qs 9s
(all players check)

(3 players - 9600 in pot)
Turn: As Qs 9s 3c
(all players check)

(3 players - 9600 in pot)
River: As Qs 9s 3c Jd
Vil4: checks
Hero: checks
Vil2: bets 4000
Vil4: calls quickly
Hero: tanks, folds

Vil2: says 1 pair
Vil4: shows Ax Qx Xx Xx and wins pot.

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: This might have been better to bet as a bluff. The board is polarized and static (monotone), so hero likely will be able to win pot often.
Turn: Standard. Given that hero checked flop, hero is likely check/calling to river.
River: Hero's plan is to check/call one player's bet (hopefully Vil4). But, this plan is foiled when Vil4 snap calls. Was Vil4 check/calling with weak flush? Hero had no other real info, so hero decides to fold.

---------------
Level 11 - Blinds: 800/1600

Hero's stack: ~10000

Hero dealt in SB: Xx Xx Xx Xx (likely suited Ace in diamonds/spades/clubs)

(7 handed, Seats 3 and 9 are empty.)
Preflop:
(folds to Hero)
Hero (SB): calls
Vil9 (BB): checks

(2 players - 3200 in pot)
Flop: Qd Qs 9h
(both players check)

(2 players - 3200 in pot)
Turn: Qd Qs 9h Jh
(both players check)

(2 players - 3200 in pot)
River: Qd Qs 9h Jh 2h
Hero: bets 2000
Vil6: folds

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Standard with most of range. Hero would likely consider barreling turn/river.
Turn: Hero is unsure why value betting didn't start until river.
River: Hero likely is betting as a bluff with most of range that has no showdown value (Jxxx, other bad 2 pairs, bad flushes, etc...)

---------------
Hero dealt in HJ?: Ac Ad 8d 3c

(7 handed, Seats 3 and 9 are empty.)
Preflop:
(folds to Vil4)
Vil4 (UTG+1?): raises pot to 5600
Hero (HJ?): reraises pot all in
(folds to Vil4)

Vil4: shows Ax Kx Jx Tx (rainbow)

(2 players - ~27000 in pot, 1 player all in)
Board: Js 6c 5c 8d Kh

Hero: out.

Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.

---------------
Hero out in 37/188 entries. 21 places paid.
There were many PLO regulars, but there were a mix of players that were not PLO regulars.

There were some tricky spots and hero made 1-2 mistakes. Overall, hero played decently, but there are some areas to improve (via review) and gain more experience.
