WCOOP Day 6

Event 16, $215 PLO 6-max:  Had a top 20 stack with about 1/3 of the field remaining, but then lost a few pots and hung around for a while, ended up cashing in 173rd place for $575.

Event 17, $215 NL Single Draw:  Lasted about an hour in this one, got it all in with a smooth 8 draw in in the big blind after the small blind raised, he had a pat 9, and I didn't hit.

Event 18, $109 8-game:  Only won like 2 hands in this one and busted in the first hour.

WCOOP Day 5

Event 13, $215 PLO8 1R1A:  In for $615 total.  Had a pretty good stack for a while but then a couple missed draws and an ill-timed bluff had me on a short stack with about 20% of the field left.  Bustout hand was at 600/1200, I had about 25k, minraised 2 from the button with ak63, button flats, blinds fold.  Flop 987 rainbow, check check, turn offsuit K, check check, river 3, I bet 4800 I think and he put me all in and I called and he had AK82 for a better kings up and a better low.  I figured I'd be chopping here pretty much all the time but oh well.

Event 14, $265 NLHE 6-max Knockout:  Got it in with AK vs JJ in the first hour and busted.

Event 15, $215 Razz:  Ran really well in this one for the first 6 hours or so and was in the top 10 in chips with about 200 people left, but then had a really bad hour where I lost every hand I played and barely hung on to cash in 125th place (out of 128 spots paid) for $450.

WCOOP Day 4

Event 10, $265 PLO Knockout:  Busted about half hour into the tourney when I got it in with 7542 vs AK73 on a 775 flop, ace on turn.

Event 11, $320 NLHE Ante-Up:  Love the structure of this tourney as I've mentioned before.  Didn't last very long though.  Frustrating tourney to bust out of quickly because like 90% of the field plays terribly in this format.

Event 12, $215 Heads-Up NLHE:  Won my first match about half hour in when we got it in with 66 vs 44 and I held.  Second match I got it in with 99 vs QQ about 5 minutes into the match and lost most of my chips, then lost the rest with A8 vs KQ.

Chopped the 2nd chance ante up tourney when it was 3 handed for $15,000, nice to get a somewhat decent score to break the losing steak I've been on since WSOP.  Hopefully I have a bigger one in the future.

WCOOP Day 3

Event 7, $215 PL Draw:  Busto, nothing really eventful.  Fun game to play though.

Event 8, $215 Triple Stud:  Had a decent stack in this one a few hours in but then ran bad for a half hour or so and busted.

Event 9, $1050 NLHE:  Got the 7500 starting stack to around 12k about 5 hours into the tourney when I got it in with QQ vs JJ and lost.

I'll be hosting the Triple Stud final table tonight so I was hoping I'd still be in something so it'd make it easier to stay awake, but now I guess I just have to wait.  :)  Early start tomorrow with the first event at 9am, I may have to late register although I'll probably get up on time anyway, we'll see.

WCOOP Day 2

Event 4, $320 PLO:  Doubled up early with aces vs kings but then didn't get much going after that and busted about 3-4 hours into the tourney.

Event 5, $320 NLHE 6-max Shootout:  Had over half the chips at my table at one point, but then flopped a flush and ran into a bigger flush and lost most of my stack, and busted soon after.

Event 6, $215+R NLHE Turbo:  Ran kind of bad during the rebuy period and ended up being in for $1415 after accounting for rebuys/addons.  Ran really good after the rebuy period though and ended up being chip leader with about 40 people left, then lost 4 or 5 hands in a row after that with the last one being A8 vs 66 on a KT8A6 board to bust in 26th place for $5087.16.  Frustrating to have that great of an opportunity to win 200k and only end up with 5k, but oh well, 3 more weeks of WCOOP.

WCOOP Day 1

Event 1, $215 6-max NLHE:  Got up to 30k from the starting stack of 10k a few hours in, the biggest hand being JJ vs J2 all in pre.  Unfortunately a few mintues after this hand I got it in with JJ vs AA and busted.

Event 2, $10,300 NLHE:  Hung around 15-18k from the starting stack of 10k until about 5 hours in, when I tried a 3 barrel bluff with 9 high and unfortunately he had the nuts, so that brought me down to 4k or so, then I got it in with 44 (I think?) and my opponent had TT and I busted.

Event 3, $215 NLHE:  Got the 10k starting stack up to around 115k, the biggest hand being a 3 way all in where I had AA and another guy had KK.  Soon after that I got it in with TT vs KK and that brought me down to about 40k and we were nearing the $.  I didn't really get any playable hands and blinded off to around 28k when we hit the $.  About 20 minutes after the bubble burst I shoved with KT and got called by KJ and lost, cashing for $410.24.

Also lost 25k today playing satellites for the 10k, but I was down over 50k at one point, so it's almost like a win
