 Busted in the WPT event. Oh well. Was in a rush to set my CPU up here at my uncles to play the WCOOP PLO events today and busted in the 6max 320 rebuy and the 215 second chance. So there goes 1k and what was looking like a bad day got good.  2nd place Stars $109 PLO8 for 1850$  2nd place Stars $55 Rebuy for 10.6k$   This is actually my first 5 fig score (barely). The Cyprus package I won was 12.5k but it wasn't cash. So this is first cash score of that size. I lost HU to a high stakes losing regular. Guy was -31% ROI at 321$ ABI for 400ish MTTs. He had a huge chip lead to start. Bust hand:   I limp Q10o OTB and he makes 2x (this is standard for now, every time I was raising button he was 3 betting and not letting go on flops, he also calls of his stack light so 4 betting light wasn't going to work vs this guy, I would have to be patient). So I was limp calling for pot control. Anyway flop Q92. Nice flop he bets and I raise, he calls turn is K, check check to board Q9K2x and he overshoves. Now he overshoved once on me BvsB 4 handed and I'd seen him overshove AIPF with 20bbs 52cc so it's time to decide whether to make the hero call. I only beat a bluff here. Well oops because he had KK. I need to work on my HU game in holdem I get way to many seconds. My ratio is probably 3/4 to 1 if I had to guess. Maybe I should play some HU cash or SNGs.   Oh, my brutal beat for the day was in AP $55 Rebuy. UTG opens, gets called my MP, I make PSB with AA, UTG shoves, I snap. He tables KK and board goes QQJ910. MP says he folded 10s. Anyway, instead of being 2nd in tourn with 14 remaining I'm out. Poker. Playing the WCOOP PLO8 tomorrow. GL.
