Flicked in some MTTs today as I wasn't feeling the cash game grind and I quite enjoy the TCOOP structures in general. First hand in the PLO event I 3bet AKJ9hhdd from the BB facing a button open. He calls and
I fire two on A489ddss, (I had nut diamonds ott) and check called Jx river. Villain had K235cccc and wrote in chat "WTF I have a straight, what is this $hit?! How did you win?".
Pretty good example of the value available in these things haha. I explained to the guy how the rules of PLO work and he was pretty annoyed about the whole thing. We've all done it!
Ended up losing a $1.5mil chip pot in that to bust in mid 10xth. Sort of frustrating, as winning that pot would have been a good opportunity to go deep. I heard today that a guy won his second NLH event of the series, which just seems unreal.
Cash results are +1700 in 11.5 hours this week. Majority of volume has been at 200nl reg speed games.

Really enjoying both, will give a detailed review once I've finished.
Just finished watching Making a Murderer on Netflix. Unsure what to think really. The show is incredibly well researched and produced. It's difficult not to empathise with Steven Avery, but I'm also very aware that the showcase of evidence is intentionally framed that way. Definitely a recommended watch for anyone who still hasn't seen it, but try your best to maintain objectivity is my advice. Some opinions/spoilers below:
Hopefully somebody is reading, will try and provide something a bit more interesting going forward!
