I won the first two pots, a good omen! Back to 2300ish. The BAD omen, however, is that I then got rolled up 5s. In Razz. WHY IN RAZZ.
The Razz god sure has a sick sense of humour.
Well, that's me gone. I just got runner runnered for a lower. I had 7 low and the guy got the perfect two cards he needed, runner runner A 4 for 6 low. Absolutely sickening. But still a good experience.
Next time maybe, campers. No $70,000 bankroll for Stylez just yet.

Blind round 7 - Omaha Hi Lo
Pfft, lol. Very first hand I get is Ah Kh Qh Jh. 4 to the royal in my hand. Ironic thing is that this is Hi-Lo so I have to fold it.
Great. I now have three bets. I had Jacks up which I was hoping would be good for Hi, then the board runner-runner flushed and lowballed so I had to fold my good hand... turns out the guy who scooped only had Kings for high so I could have taken it.
Just split both pots with another guy who also flopped the wheel. I was hoping not to get quartered but blank outs fell, thank god. Still only at 1300.
Ugh, BB and I get dealt trip 9s with a deuce. Filth.
SB not much better.
I quartered a guy when I had A224. I two paired for Hi and nut-low split with him. Back to 1800. Bulldozer? CAN YOU FEEL IT!? BUUULLLL DOZERRRRRRRRRRR!
2500 BABY. Tripped up my Qs when I had QJ23 on a flop of QA5. Nut low draw turned into trip Qs and when the river brought a 10 I bet, got called, and took the entire pot. BULLDOZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR!!
(Incidentally, Hevad "RaInKhAN" Khan owner of the "Bulldozer" trademark is in this tournament. He has more chips than me. Bitch.)
Down to 1300 again. Semibluffed a lot of chips off again. I fucking hate double draws. If a 3 dropped I'd have had a boat and nut low.
The 3 did not drop.
MOTHERFUCKER. I had A338 double suited then, raised, got like 9 callers. Set for a mad double scoop. Worst flop ever was K9J, where it was bet and I had to get off it. Turn brought a three and it was checked down. No qualifying low and Kings up tied for high. I would be back at 3000ish.
Razz next. Fingers crossed.
The average stack is like 5000 but I have hope with a 2500 chipstack. It can become something greater... as long as my Razz luck isn't like the first round.

Blind round 6 - Hold'em
An inauspicious start to the round, with my first three hands being 23, 26 and 27 offsuit. :-\
AJ suited, middle position. I raise preflop, BB calls, I'm checked to on the missed flop and put out a continuer, picks up the pot.
UTG with pocket 10s. I raise. 2nd pos calls. BB calls. 567 flops. I bet again, am called by 2nd pos. BB folds. Turn K. I bet again and pick up the pot.
In the BB with KQ os. Call two bets, flop is 6 10 10. Check check check. Turn is a 5. I check again, middle pos bets, I fold.
Sat out for a while and folded QQ. Bah. Never check the hand history.
Just lost another pot with AK against 88 when the board bricked. Down to 2400.
Fuck. I just had JQ flop top pair Qs and got capped on the flop. I didn't like my hand after that, figuring I was beat. At the riv I see the guy slow played AQ on me. Totally never put him on that.
Jesus I am missing flops with big hands like its going out of fashion. I may have to pick a hand to gamble with soon, these fucking flops are unbelievable. I get Ah Th and flop is Qd 3h Jh .. that's every heart, K, and an A overcard. Miss the lot and the draws are getting mighty expensive.
Down to 850 here. No flop connectivity whatsoever. Bring on Aces!
I picked on the extremely shortstacked BB with my low Ace 5 then, but it worked because he got attached to his Q 10 and now all his chips are mine. Back to 1350. Folded AJ the next hand under the gun. WHERE WAS THAT ON THE BUTTON!?
BB 65os won me a pot, when I bet with it and got called, turned a board pair Q, rivered a board trip Q for my full house, I bet and took that. Back to 1600.
Omaha next. Let's hope my favourite game can save me. Blinds are starting to sting.

Blind round 5 - Stud Hi Lo
I've won a few pots in this game, I scooped one with tens up and no qualifying low hand, and the second I hit trips up with a draw to a 3 for the nut low but still some cold cards. I'll let you know about any interesting hands.
I just took the high pot with Aces up. I had a low draw that didn't eventuate also, but the pot was pretty beefy so I'm hovering at around 3500. Current chip average is 3354.
Lost a pot then. Had a billion outs that didn't come and bet the river like an idiot when I paired just my deuces. Hoped he didn't have the Jacks he was representing -- he was priced in on 7th street and his 8s were good.
Ugh another donk hand. I have to start waiting for pairs because my straight/flush outs aren't hitting.
Talk about a roller coaster. Just got back up from 2500 to 3100 with Kings up beating Queens up. Crazy crazy stud.
Back to Hold'em.

In this blind structure I also had AKQJ by 4th street, and raised a guy who called me all the way to the river. I couldn't believe it but I didnt make a fucking pair or catch the 10. His pair of 8s was good. It was so sick that he was calling. But bad play by me I guess... don't bluff. Anyway, onto Stud Hilo AND my breakfast. Nice.

Blind round 3 - Razz
Ugh, the very first hand of Razz I got myself into trouble with this bloke.
I had [A 10] 2 showing and complete. Bloke with a 4 showing makes the call.
I turn another ace. Fucking pair. I try to represent 34 in the hole or something of that nature. He calls.
He is showing 64. He gets an A on fifth street. I get another fucking ten. Jeez I hate Razz.
I bet when it gets to Stud Hi I won't be able to get two pair for love nor money. Anyway, I get rid of that filth as soon as I can.
I lost another pot just then. I had 8 low for so long, and end up making 8654A. Cockhead makes 85432. On 7th street, of course.
I've juts had split Jacks, wired Ks with an A showing, and three suited royal cards. I hate you, Razz.
Finally I've made back some headway with an 8 low beating a 9 low. Back up to 2500.
My 7 low beats 8 low. I should have raised him on the river but I'm not trusting my Razz luck. I had A23 earlier and got a K on both 4th and 5th. Sick.
Finally some door card luck. I had [A 6] 4. Guy raises me. I turn another A but he has a Q. He checks and I bet. 5th street brings me a 7 and him a 9. Check check. I get a 3 on 6th which is fantastic as I'm showing A 4 7 3 and he has to put me on at least 7-low. I take a pretty good pot.
On to Stud now. Thank Christ.

Blind round 2 - Omaha Hi-Lo
First 10 minutes I haven't played a hand. Can't see an Ace for the life of me.
BB. I check with 4 limpers. My cards are Ah Qs 8c 2c.
Flop is Kc 6d 4h. SB bets. I call. Late position calls.
Turn is 10c. SB bets. I raise. Late position calls. SB calls.
River is a 7s. SB checks. I bet. Late position calls. SB calls.
SB wins Hi with 6c 5h 4d 6d, a pair of 6s.
I win Lo with 7,6,4,2,A.
A few hands later...
I limp in late with 4488. Flop is 245. Flopped a set, not loving the low cards out there though. It's checked to me and I check. C'mon, board pair.
Turn is an 8. Ok, a better set. Still not loving my hand. All the aces out there are fanging for the Lo and I'm sitting here sweating on a board pair. It's bet to me and I call.
River is a 10. Ok, no board pair. A couple of bets to me and I fold. Hi is taken by the 23456 straight and scoops the low also.
Ad Jd 4s 4c. I limp in, and call a two-bet. Flop is 4h 2c 3c. Flopped a set with the nut low draw. Worried about A5 though.
Turn is 7d. I have a low, only A5 has me beat. A board pair would be good, or a 5.
River is 5h. Not too bad. I figure we must both have wheels and I got lucky. Sure enough, the betting is capped, and we split both pots.
I open limp into the pot in late position with 5s 7c 2h 4c. SB completes and BB checks.
Ah 3s 9s is the flop. I have the nut low draw again. I bet twenty, SB calls, BB folds.
Turn brings a 3rd spade, the Q. I check, SB checks.
River drops 2s. This makes my wheel, and the 4th spade on the board (plus the one in my hand) lowers the chance of a flush. I bet and am called. I show the wheel for hi and lo. It scoops both.
5 minute break. I am on 2871. The chip average is still 3000.
BB. I check with 4 limpers. My cards are Ah Qs 8c 2c.
Flop is Kc 6d 4h. SB bets. I call. Late position calls.
Turn is 10c. SB bets. I raise. Late position calls. SB calls.
River is a 7s. SB checks. I bet. Late position calls. SB calls.
SB wins Hi with 6c 5h 4d 6d, a pair of 6s.
I win Lo with 7,6,4,2,A.

Blind round 1 - Limit Hold'em
I decide I want to play tight in this blind structure, mainly because Hold'em is such a marginal game and I don't want to be risking my chips in pots early. Nevertheless, the guy at my table is blatantly stealing blinds from all the Sitting Out players who are late, so I decide to start reraising with a wider range of hands.
My hole cards: Ad Kd
Cutoff (thief) raises. I three bet. He calls.
Flop is A J 4. He bets. I raise. He calls.
Turn is J. He bets. I call.
River is 10. He bets. I call.
He shows KQ. Motherfucker rivered the straight on me. I was so worried about trip Jacks. Anyway, next time.
Next time he tries to raise me. I have 77. He calls my three-bet.
Flop is 6 9 9. He checks. I bet. He calls.
Turn is 8. He checks. I bet. He raises, I call.
Turn is a 9. He checks. I check. He shows A8 for the turned pair. GODDAMN THIS GUY.
Those are the two main hands I played in hold'em, and I've moved tables for the Omaha Hi-Lo 2nd blind structure, away from this douche. Thank god.

HORSEing about...
So I'm in the tourney now, still in the first blind structure, after every blind structure I'll detail interesting hands I've been involved in and how they resulted. I'm feeling confident, after playing in Orange yesterday and winning the $10 rebuy and $350 first place. BULLDOZER!
