Quick Update

Played FTOPS #2 which was the PLO8. It was worthless to play. I never had any chips, never had any rush of cards, pretty much hung around my 5k starting stack for about 4.5 hours. Ultimately I busted here:

MP1 wins t6245
MP1 wins t6245

I probably should have led the flop but whatever he had the perfect hand against me and won what was essentially a coin flip.

I was scheduled to play the HORSE last night. Regged for the event but also played some satellites to try and win some T$. Two of them went as follows:

• #1-We are abt 10 from the money. I make 75 low in Razz and get it all in vs. open 98 low. He goes perfect perfect to make a better 7. Win that and I win a seat for sure.
• #2-We are also abt 10 from money. I have split K in Stud. I make K's up on 5th. Guy 4b all-in with...wait for it..1 pair...buried 6's. As expected he binks a 6 on 6th and fills up on 7th. Wp sir. Cripples me and I miss the seat by like 5 spots.

With that fresh in mind I insta-unregistered for the HORSE and didn't play last night.

I have been successful winning a bunch of seats for primarily Holdem events so that has helped offset the terrific runbad in cash games. The official -EV total has now reached 15Buy-ins or $750 on FTP Rush.

I will only provide one example of this lunacy. I am only 65% Equity when the money goes in so this isn't even a great example but best I have handy:
