Day 4, pt 1 - Brutal day at WSOP |
Last Updated: 2013-06-05 13:56:06 |
In two hours of poker I played exactly two hands today. Not because I was the tightest person on the planet, but truly because I had no choice.
|
First off I had Josh Arieh betting into me, chip leader at the table, and I'm betting into second in chips. And almost every hand someone at the table was raising, which meant I couldn't play a hand without putting in two bets.
|
Of the hands I did play, one of the two hands I got nothing but blinds. The other hand was the one I busted out on.
|
Playing Omaha 8/b, my 12,475 starting stack down to 5500 and in the big blind of 800 I'm really in bad shape. 4 limpers into me and I look down at 2-4-5-6 with two clubs and check.
|
Flop comes A-4-6, and with two pair, second nut low and wheel and full house draws (and only 6 big blinds if I fold) I don't think I can get away from this hand.
|
Well all kinds of action, two go away so we're three handed, the rest of the chips go in for me and another guy on an 8 turn with another shortish stack almost all in and here's how it all shakes out:
|
Other all in has 2-3-4-X for nut low and a gutshot wheel draw
|
Third guy had A-6-8-K for a better two pair on a hand that never should have been around in the first place with all that action.
|
I'm down to three 3s and two 4s and the river is a blank, I'm done.
|
Once again I tracked every hand (did a better job today) so here's two hours of poker. I did not track suits or much of the action unless a hand was suited and that was meaningful or action led me to not play a hand rather than just the cards themselves, but I think the cards I had were enough without that information. So here goes:
|
Pot Limit Omaha- 3-5-5-7 double suited in BB. Raise, reraise into me, I fold, repotted, all in, aces vs aces, short stack catches flush (one of my suits, BTW)
- 4-5-Q-J double-suited in SB. Again action, but never play two hold'em hands in the small anyway
- 3-3-6-j
- 4-j-j-k no suit
- 5-8-Q-10 rainbow
- 3-5-9-J one suit
- 4-5-6-9 (two gapper on top just asking for trouble, I would have missed)
- 4-6-9-J one suit(again two hold'em hands)
|
Limit Hold'Em- 9-5 off BB, fold to raise
- 9-K off SB, fold to raise (arguably playable but would have missed)
- 5-Q off
- 8-K off
- 7-Q off
- A-4 off early position
- 2-5 off
- 10-J suited first to act, pot was later raised, reraised, I would have missed flop, winner ended up being 2 pr runner runner Q-J
|
7-Stud 8/b, 3rd card always what was showing- 4-K-2, I bring in, get raised, I fold
- 2-5-7 I think a 2-flush, would be drawing for half
- 2-7-A first to act and would have been betting into another ace, I fold
- Q-J-4
- 5-A-J
- 10-K-J, almost entire board is paint, lows are creating the action, can't play
- 8-K-J
- 9-8-5
|
2-7 Triple Draw- 3-5-A-J-10
- 3-5-8-9-J (am I going to draw to an 8 or 9 with action already?)
- 3-8-Q-A-A
- 3-5-7-A-J The first hand I played, I stole blinds
- 3-4-5-K-K with 3 already in pot I suppose an argument can be made to draw two here, but with that many players I have to catch exactly 2-7, 2-8 or 6-8 to have a chance. And if I catch a 6 and not an 8 I'm still drawing two
- 3-5-8-J-K again at best a 2 card draw to an 8
- so worth noting I had a 3 every hand, but only one 7 and no deuces in any hand, two cards you usually shouldn't leave home without
|
No Limit Hold'Em- 5-K off BB, raise into me, fold
- 6-9 off SB, raise into me, fold
- 8-K suited
- 2-J off
- 6-8 off
- 7-2 off
- 8-j suited
- 3-10 off
|
7-card Stud high- 2-4-10 off
- 6-A-K rainbow
- 8-K-3
- 5-A-K Notable because all four Ks on board
- 5-J-2
- 6-7-8 no suit, rest of board contained 5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 10. Can't make it up.
- 5-Q-2
- 7-Q-J
|
Omaha 8/b- 2-4-5-6 with I think clubs, the hand I busted on
|
So...can anyone tell me where I had a chance to win a pot? Literally the worst two hours of being card dead I can ever remember. |
