Decided to travel to The Vic to play this.
I dont like the Vic much tbh, but this was one of the few plo rebuy MTT’s I have seen.
Firstly, the juice of £20 was extortionate imo.
So, onto the comp. I had decided a limit of £400 for the comp. I managed to only have one buyin and a top up so was within budget. I started the “normal” phase with 14k chips - blinds of 150 300 so very healthy.
92 started and after the first two levels of “normal” play we were down to 50 odd.
I was still sitting good with 38k when at 400 800 / 600 1200 things went wrong and I lost two pots which left me with only 12k. Blinds had gone to 800 1600 and we were down to 14. I had to find a spot and decided to go with KK 10 4 ss.
I raised pot under the gun only to be re raises by a 23k stack. I was committed and thinking I had run into AAxx.
Cards on their back and I was re raised with A K 10 4 rainbow!! WTF!?!?!
How good did I want it! lol
But they duly hit their ace and I was out just shy of the money. Maybe they misread their hand as AAK10 ?
So it was onto some cash, and knowing I could not get a train until 7am I was in no hurry. All games were full and I first got onto a £1 £2 nlh table - which was a tad booring to say the least and I soon moved to a £1 £2 omaha game. And what a game it was too! I sat with £400 and managed to get to £800 (most others only sat with £100 so it was hard work!) The game finally broke and I moved to the £2 £5 dealers game.
Sitting with the full £800, my first game was in the BB and it was super stud. Most people sat with £300 or so, but there were two people with £2k+ stacks.
I got involved with a guy who just kept betting pot. I was drawing to a low on 4th street and he was showing no possible low.The pot bet was now £400 ffs. So I call and now am committed to my whole £800 on the first hand! 5th street was a bingo card for me, I had made my low and now also had a baby flush draw and a straight draw. So I knew I was getting half the pot. I checked and he set me in for my last £100 or so.
My down card gave me the baby flush and I scooped a £1600+ pot. He only had AA in the hole and nothing else!! lol
I played this game for another couple of hours but couldnt string two winning pots together although I still managed to leave the game (as it broke at 7am) with just over £1500.
So a nice profit on the night (again), but disapointed not to have made the final table of the omaha MTT.
