Busted during level 10. My VPIP for the day was embarrassing but I was just super card dead. I made the most of it I think and took a few ugly beats. If the board had just paired one time out of 4 sets instead of being run down by river straights I'd probably be in for day 2.

I think a $1k or $1500 turbo would be a good trial tournament. I still think this will be a tough task ahead of us. We're trying to create a paradigm shift where for us to gain any traction, other casinos have to participate also. If WSOP is willing to take a leap of faith and trial this, this would be a huge step to seeing other games similar to the $240 Planet Hollywood event.

My arguments in favor of running NLO8 over PLO8 in the past were:
-no need to calculate the pot (easier for the rec player to sit down and play)
-less chopping of pots due to more pots ending before showdown. You will likely see more showdowns once stacks get shallower, but this shouldn't be a problem if WSOP has their more experienced dealers at this (late) stage of the tourney.

I'd say that maybe it only needs 2 days to run a NL event as players are eliminated more? Especially that some people have mentioned turbo structures.

I think you'll find enough action at 20/40. They'll have 3-5 tables running that game. You'll run into Men the Master wearing his badass cowboy boots, probably.

Yep, always lots of 20-40 and 10-20 HK games, more of the former. And always some fish in the mix. If the deck breaks even a competent player can clean up over the summer.

100%, I get bored if I play too much o8 but in some of these fishy lineups you can run up a few grand real quickly if you catch some cards

Haven't played a mixed event at WSOP yet, this will be the first. Does the game change every hand, orbit, or blind level?

GII with AJ234 with non-nut hearts on AJ8hhx flop, got 1/4.
GII with A3479 with non-nut diamonds on 742ddx flop, got 1/6.
That was about all she wrote. Played well, ran bad.
Fun event, GL to those still in it!

The 8/16 FLO8 runs nearly 24/7 during WSOP at the Orleans, and is worth the $5-7 Uber/Lyft ride if you are competent at FLO8.

Never realized they had that much o8 action there. Is it better games than the Venetian?

Don't know how it compares to Venetian, but I know the 8/16 HK definitely plays looser than the 4/8 HK, so $400+ pots are pretty standard when a low draw flops on a kill pot, LOL. Someone told me during a visit a few years back that the O8-playing locals have all but abandoned the Venetian in favor of the Orleans for a variety of reasons.
