Baby Steps

I started my $W quest with an $10.50 expenditure in a $5.50 rebuy to a WCOOP 6 satellite.
I used the $W won to start playing WCOOP steps and have been taking the step 4 branch and playing the WCOOP 6 SNG that awards 3 seats and 2 $200 prizes, but on Sunday I initally opted for the 18 player PLO seat route. It just would not fill so I played a step 4 and received:

Dear bayne_s,

You finished the tournament in 1st place.You have won an admission ticket to 'WCOOP Step 5'

So I continued into step 5.


And this hand is how step 6 ended:

With two players all in after the big stack raise, I wonder if AA considered folding if top 3 gets seat...

Bayne_S said...

Telefonkiosk did not instantly call. If not internet delay he must have considered fold

I would seriously fold AA all in pre vs two people on Stars. AA is a race IMO vs ATC at stars, vs A4C it is a huge dog, seriously.....

I'm wondering where Artie Johnson is when you need his famous line, "Very interesting; but, schtupid!" An overstatment true but there is fodder in that hand like few other. Had to add a bit to my blog about it.

Hallmark just doesn't have the right card to send you for this one. Would you accept a play money transfer instead?

What a wild hand. Yay for having more chips than AA villain to start the hand.

If top three get a seat, I doubt that call with AA is +EV.
