I finished 3rd for $587.50, 212 players field. The buy in is $20 for a $
5000Gtd prize pool.
I brought in the satellite for $3 and went from there.
Some crucial spots:
1. Early in the tourney, I was dealt double suited Q high. limp in from cut
off. flop the nut flush. I bet small 3 streets and the guy called me down
with a 9 cards straight draw and hit it on the river. He was drawing dead on
the flop. This is why this tourney is juicy.
2. I played maybe 7% of my hands and nut peddling all the way to the money.
Flop the nut straight with higher straight redraw in a limp pot, double up
through a guy holding top pair which is a 9. Crazy!
3. Still played very nitty until the first pay jump. And then end up with
about 9BB. At this point, my plan was to go broke or final table, and start
to open up a lot.
I was on the cut off with double suited K high rag [9c4h3cKh]. I made it 2X,
SB pot, BB call for less. I was risking remaining 6k to won 22k in the pot.
I didn't love this spot, but figured if one of my suit is live, I had enough
equity to make the call. I put SB on AAxx, and BB on JJ+ or high run down,
their holding blocking each other, which is good for me. They did had
exactly
what I thought. I tripled up with two pairs. I ran the simulation with
propokertool afterward, against their exact hands, I had 30%equity. Lucky
for me.
4. Around final table bubble. I was dealt [Ah6h7s6c], made it 2x. BB call.
Flop comes Ad4hJc, I flop top pair and couple of backdoors. I check behind
and was afraid of c/r. Turn rip 7h, pretty much best card in the deck. I bet
2/3 pot when check to. Villain tank for very long and shove. I snap call
and boat up on the river. He had a J, gutter and lower flush draw. About 9
outs and didn't hit it.
5. I went in the final table with a healthy stake. After some up and down, 4
players left, and it was the time that really matters. The toughest spot in
the tourney: I was dealt [AdQhTs8d], raise from the button and got 3 bet
pot from the SB. I almost puke. Since I
figured I had A Q blocker, I'm doing ok against KK,JJ, doing great against
worse rundown. But I was so afraid of being dominated by AKQx. I really
couldn't imagine he was 3 betting there with worse rundown. I made the laid
down, and ended up with about 9BB,shortest stakes of the final 4. I did out
last the other guy and finined in 3rd place. Top two had huge stake, and I
didn't get lucky to triple up my last hand.
Thinking it back, I should probably go with my [AdQhTs8d]. I ran simulation
against a range of AAxx KKxx,JJxx, AKQx, AQJx, I had about 40% equity. It
would be so hard to pick up a better spot, given 4 handed and 9bb. It was a
very close decision.
I was really enjoying playing omaha tourney with this structure. Playing
full ring and no ante, I think the correct strategy is really to sit back
and wait for good spot or even great spot. The mistakes I saw people make a
lot is that they overestimate their equity preflop. They just simply believe
what a lot of "guide" tells them: you are never so far behind preflop in
Omaha, and it's 40-60 most of the times. That's true mainly in cash game. In
a full ring tournament, when most of the chip goes in preflop, and most
people go with high card heavy hands. You really don't want to be dominated.
A dominated rundown hand is 30-70 underdog, which is pretty much AQ vs AK
preflop in NL. Under-pairs vs over-pairs is even worse. I would push a lot
of hand, but for me to call a big 3bet shove, I would always make sure I
have AA, KK with A blocker, high-high rundown that could dominate other
rundown, or a lot of time, double suited small rundown. JJ- is pretty much
unplayable facing a large 3bet, unless I couldn't afford folding.
It doesn't need too much luck to finish the money, but it does need a lot of
lucky to run deep no matter what. |
