PLO freeroll...

Day 2 of the massive blogger freeroll on PokerStars and already the field is thinning in the first 9 minutes. PLO is a sadistic game...see how evil it is.

Update: Horrendous play so far. Doubled up and then gave half back on an open ended 12 outter. Play is horrendous. I think all the hold'em people have no clue about connecting cards and additional outs after the flop.

Hanging tough at T3030 .. about the average stack. Next update at the break.

Update (before the break I know). I am out. I made a bad bluff and got called down with bottom pair on a board with straight and flush possibilities. Oh wells.

Tomorrow might be a miss being more NL. I really just don't enjoy it. We shall see how I feel.

Freeeeeeroll...(great when you are unemployeed)

WBCOOP starts in a few. Other than a disappointing line up froma lack of limit and O8 games it looks to be a stellar field with some great prizes... I may actually have to update if I can pull anything off.

I had 7 hours of live poker yesterday and this series might be a challenge if I get an actual date this week. No offense PokerStars, but live women > live poker > online Poker. Freeroll begins.

Good luck Blogger Brethren!

Update 1: After a 6 minute first hand we got underway. Too many people forgetting or not realizing it is an early start.

Got my first double up with KQ v QJ on a Q69 rainbow flop. 300 players gone in 31 minutes.



Update 2: Either I am card dead or just too tight. Not much hitting and players are starting the immature trash and bash chatting. Really want to turn off the chat... but a possibility to get someone to tilt some chips off may arise.

The knockouts have slowed chip leader has 13610.

Update: New leader, antes kicked in at 30/60... not even at the BREAK! wow. I am barely above the average... why read one version? Go over to PokerStars.com download and watch a few tables since the table screens are adjustable!

Update 4: At the first break the top-20 are all above 11K.. and WesRoks is in the top stack position with 22k. I don't recognize any names in the field so I am wondering if it started too early for most people.
Not alot of post flop play. Pretty much just stealing blinds or facing raise and re-raise decisions. Still card dead. Think A2 was my prettiest hand in the last 20 minutes. Blah.

A few hands after the break I made a stellar river call with A7 on a J672J board. I was in EP and led out on each street. Button pushed on the river with KQ and I thought for good minute and called and took him out. 2 knockouts... feeling good.

Update too many to count: Made a stupid call on an all-in player pre-flop. Forget 3 others stil lhad to act and the SB had KK. Allin player had AJ and needless to say.. KK got sucked out on. My hand? Q 10 sooted. Lost half my stack. Dumb dumb.

578 players to go and 425 til prize bubble. See what happens!

Last update: Busto. UTG raised 3x and I had AQ in the BB. Instead of just re-raising since he had been playing solid I pushed...stupidly. I had no fold equity KNOWING he had been playing well. I let my emotions get to me since the small blind had been raising me too much.

Live and learn. Tomorrow nights donkfest gamboooool at PLO will be interesting.
