Poker: SCOOP event #31 8-Game (Low)

scoop

Following on from my previous SCOOP event, this is the event I have been looking forward to the most from my planned events, as 8-Game is my favourite Poker variant at the moment, and have had previous success.

My good fortune started out by my winning my $27 ticket in my first 8-Game satellite for only $9.90, so a good start :)

The event itself has 8 minute levels and 5000 starting chips, rotating between the 8 games each level as normal.

First hand I have great draw and hit good hand on first draw, get action from one player but sadly he rivered the nuts and I've lost 10% of my stack already !   Not quite the start I was looking for....

Next level is limit Hold'em and call raise with KK planning to fold to A on flop, but flop comes AA2 so decide it's more likely I'm ahead, especially when villain raises my bet.   After calling down to river, villain shows A-Q obv :)

Things steady up and make a recovery and feel I'm playing OK, but then at dinner time, get a bit distracted and get over excited on the NL Hold'em round with AdKd and two diamonds flop, dropping a large portion of my stack when I miss...

After that, with the blinds going up, it's a case of finding a good spot to commit.  Sadly in Omaha HiLo I 3 bet then see 4 bet and two callers in front of me.... in some ways I'm happy to get good value, but the flop completely misses me but have to stick the rest in and am out
