If I were writing this blog last night I would have been on cloud 9 as the saying goes. I made many deep runs and 4 FT's including first place in the FTP 33 PLO Rebuy. That netted me 3.5k and I FT'd FTP and UB's 11 PLO Rebuys. I had big chip leads in both but came in 4th in both at the end of it for 800$ profit total. I made 400$ or so in other tourns so I probably netted 4k ish for the day which may be my best day ever I'm not sure. Would be close. Well, if I played well yesterday I started on tilt today and just ran like death. Deep in the FTP 11 Rebuy I hold AKJ7dd and see a flop of Q,10,5 dd. WRAP FLUSH AND NFD and we get it all in and I brick out. UB 11 Rebuy I limp AA22 and limps around and BB makes PSB, I reshove his PSB and he strangely just calls. I say strangely because 2/3 of my stack is going in pre so why not stick the rest in? Any he hold AJ10x and flops the 10 and shoves, I call, and he turns 10. Oh, one more bad beat was FTP 75$ PLO 6 Max. I love this tourn and I raise it up with AQ89dd and get called to see a flop of Q,Q,2dd. GIN!!, only 22 and Q2 have me and I did raise pre so those are unlikey holdings, anyway, ends up going all in and guy called my raise pre with QJ92 and it held. Ok, no more bad beat stories. Some strategy from my PLO 1st place victory.....
I limp 6543 UTG and we see a flop 4 way. Flop is K,9,4 rainbow. It checks around and button bets 1/2 pot. Now I've see this guy make PSB with 2 pair type hands. We are deep stacked and although I don't know what he has now it is a small pot so far and if a 6543 comes (11 cards will make this happen) I will have either trips or two pair and a up/down st8 draw. I elect to call and turn makes it K,9,4,5 giving me bottom two pair and up/down draw. I check and again he bets 2/3 pot, 1200 into 1500. The pot is getting bigger now. 2700 and 1200 to call. What does he have though? I think mabye a naked K or something like QJ108? Either way I think my two pair could be good now but it is bottom two, I'm out of position and I'll take some pot control and just call. River makes it K,9,4,5,A and I check and he makes PSB. This makes it 3900 to go. I've certainly got myself into at the 100/200 level here. Now, he bet 2/3 on flop and turn and then PSB on river? So I showed weakness on all streets and he expects me to call a PSB on river? Why not take me to value town one more time? Looks like he has a busted draw/bluff here. I call pretty quickly and he shows down air. Then he starts ranting "how could I call that?" "there was a st8 possible" blah blah blah and I just told him I thought he was bluffing so I called. Simply put that's all it was but I thought I would explain my reasoning here. Uhhh.....DAZ IT!! GL ALL!
