Oh, I don't know. KK/top set still ended up losing to my accompanying straight draw the 99/set hand.

But as to a set of jacks on a straight board... I push. Sometimes. Because there is THAT much money in the pot. Or maybe I think there's enough of a chance they don't have it. Or I have big flush draw to go with it.

Example:
There's small raise preflop. KJ9 w/ flush draw flop. I flop mid set w/ JJ. 2nd last to act. I bet the flop about 2/3 pot. Call, call, call. 4 to the turn.

Blank turn. 1st person goes all-in for maybe $130. I pot for maybe $450+. Another blank.

I win. KK/top set folds to my turn push. NFD misses.

Of course, doesn't always work out that way. The last time I got it in with JJ/mid-set; NFD; and JK9, some did have Q10. But even then my money went in with better-than-expected equity (due to other draw)

Maybe donk is the word for it.

damn, bummed I missed out on the $1/2 PLO game. i saw the posting last night but couldnt make it downstairs to play. too bad it didnt go in the morning/early afternoon....gf was off at the spa for like 5 hours.

next time i guess!

Stan if I'm not mistaken the last 100K GRTD 2-ReEntry event from the WPT Borgata Poker Open Championship had a 10K starting stack.

I noticed in the Winter Open 100K GRTD 2-ReEntry it says 25K starting stack. Is this correct and does my memory serve me correct that the previous event had a 10K starting stack?

The starting stack is 25K. Last year was 10K. This one should be really big.

Stan

DAMN !!! I wish it started on a week end... difficult to get two days off from work during week .. right now looks like i may play Event 8

Sounds great, I will be there! If not for day 1b I would not be able to make it. Thanks

Will be down tonight for some $1/2 and will be playing in tomorrow mornings tournament. As always, looking forward to another good Borgata trip

Stan, what is the starting stack for the event#11PLO going to be? I've played several times and it changed through the years. Any chance that we'll get more than 10K? I think USPC had 12K to start and they had longer levels(40). Also, it would more appealing for the crowd to make it a 6max.

10K Chips....40 min levels. With that and the blind structure, it looks very good.

I'd + 1,000 to the 6 max but that's more tables and dealers...which will be used for the 11am NLHE tourney that starts before this.

Any PLO cash "regs" playing this? I'll be playing this and the NLHE tourneys that surround it Sund and Tues

I might, if my boss approves my vacation days on 24th and 25th. pixelpusher and templeross have mentioned they'll be there.

If I do go, I'll make my Poker Open debut and it'll be my first general tourney since "The Event That Shall Remain Nameless" back in early May ($100+20 NLHE).

Can't wait for event #1, I'll be arriving the night before to get a good night sleep and grind out the day 1 marathon

Yeah, I do expect to be playing the PLO event, though I'm not a huge fan of tournaments.

Also, I agree very much with the earlier comment calling for 6-handed.

Best thing about the PLO tourney is the 90%+ chance of PLO cash running that night....

Sigh, I might have to take part in this silly thing, maybe use a 'sick' day ahhaha

Hope were not getting you in trouble! Hardy haha

Maybe before, we will all get together at the amphora lounge...

Agreed.

Aw, great. Now I might have to sign up for this. And come down on my off weekend, too.

What are you trying to say, Esch? Is winning a couple pots of me that important to you, lol?

Tourney is on a Mond.

Hopefully it'll run Sund and Mond...or all weekend into Tues morning.

Not sure if I have played with you Temple....I'm trying to think. hmmm

I've played with esch many times.

im sure we have played with temple, pippen, we probably just didn't recognize it at the time. Now about this esch fellow, definitely seems quite fishy by his posts...

Who HASN'T played esch?

I've played with templeross live a few times "back in the day" outside of Borgata. It so happens our paths crossed here awhile back.

I smell a 2p2 last longer bet. I'm now definite for that tourney, and I'll be staying at the B that whole week, so you're all guaranteed to have at least one fish in the cash game.
