Lol, shorty all-in playing stud8
I have an obvious low but have been checking it down with the other guy
His board is AKQ5 and on 7th street I check and now he fires 6k
I have 255678T and my 2 is showing, the all-in player has a 3 showing
But if I call I'm essentially all-in, and don't think he's betting a dry side pot with nothing
I fold, then he says "oh, I misread my hand, I hope AK-high is good, I thought I had a flush"
The all-in player triples up with a pair of 3's, neither player has a low, lol

We make our stand UTG with 7632 and get two callers
We flop 467 but only win the low half as one guy has 53
Stay alive and bleed 3k then 1.5k in the blinds as we have to fold to raises (we hold 9722, etc)
Down to 6k so need some run good. Playing O8 so at least we have the button

I mean, what can I beat when he bets 7th street in a dry side pot?
You wanna know the most illegal thing you can do with a dollar.
Get 100 Pennies, put them in a sock, and beat that player to death with it.

We made the next break with a paltry 6k in chips
Avg is 60k
About to play Stud 8
Antes 1k
Bring-in 1k
Completion 4k
Betting Limits 4-8k
Even an average stack has no wiggle room
But with the antes and blinds so high, we just need a few pots to stack up

We are the forced bring-in and shove our remaining 3k
One caller who has
He hits another 8 on 4th street, then on 7th he pairs the 3
We don't improve and are out in 20th / 107, 9 spots shy from the $$$ (again!)

If you have skipped reading the first 18 pages, let me recap.
Anthony is playing great.
90% of the field is droolers, that think they are doing great.
Anthony gets eliminated when there is a little more than 15% in the field.
Maybe somebody needs to get Anthony a dribble bib.
Just kidding of course. Anthony is a far superior player than I am. I am 0-2 in Vegas tournaments this year, and I thought he would be my best bet to poker profit.

We still have the satellite to the Main that I'm throwing in on my dime, plus the 50k gtd tourney coming up
Not down and out yet!

Mixed triple draw 7 of 30

O8 - busted didn't re-enter
Milly gtd - 150 of 702

That's a quality structured tourney right there.
Only the best for the droolers.
How many hands did they play?

Final table update in the blog was 10:50pm
Winner announced in a post at 12:55am
These are split-pot games so guys could be just hanging on for a bit. Although the antes in Stud will destroy you (or keep you alive) given how draining they were

I agree that the final table chip distribution is less than ideal, but that's not necessarily a result of a bad structure...

Having played the O8 and O.E. events with the same structures, I felt it was terrible having finally experienced it
Some friends played the HORSE event today and felt the same. The 12k stack is far too shallow, or the level lengths need to be bumped up
I gave my pros and cons feedback to their overall director of poker across all properties this morning
Back tmrw to try and win a main event seat (40k stacks with hour-long lvls if I get in) to give you all another sweat on top of next weeks 50k gtd
Last poker game I played at Cactus Pete's was a 80 dollar buyin, you started with 10k in chips, and rebuys went until a rebuy gave you 5BB....
It was laughable....
Then they closed the poker room forever.

Here are the structures for the satellite, main event and 50k gtd
With any luck we won't be playing the 50k because we'll still be in the Main Event
If I do play the 50k I intend to increase my aggression factor early since the buyin is only $300. And will be willing to fire more than 2 bullets at that one to try and finish off this package with a nice score

20 seats into the main up for grabs, this one's on my dime but backers get a piece of my action if when I win the seat!
