My first MTT win! (x-posted on UPF)

Postby Stelvask » Thu Jan 20, 2005 11:29 am

I finally did it. wohoo!

$10+1 PLO/8 on stars. 300 entrants even.

I built up a chip lead early on and after the first break stayed in the top 10 until the very end. it was fantasmic. i was able to milk enough out of my strong hands to make up for the chips i lost on the lesser

Though to be fair... it wasnt a total win. when we got heads up we both had almost identical stacks of 225,000. in two minutes the blinds were going up to 10k/20k. SO...
A: I had never played plo/8 heads up before
B: we had incredibly shallow stacks, meaning one hand would probably decide the tourney
C: He was one the only players in the final two tables that i thought was good

Anyhow, once he took out the third guy and caught up to my stack, he suggested an even split (currently $825 for first and $525 for second) - split would be $675 a piece. Since i felt the match was essentially a coinflip at this point, i agreed to it. After the host arrived and we played it out, i solidly whomped him in two hands.

Anyhow, there's my bragging for the day.

I'd like to thank the entire BTP community (though i've been neglegent and haven't been here for months) for teaching me nearly everything i know about tournements, and in particular i'd like to thank both ATE and Felonious_Monk for everything they've each taught me about PLO/8

actually, we didn't discuss any other chop options. when we got heads up he called time and asked me if i was interested in an even split. i thought about it for a bit and finally decided that it would be a good idea considering the mentioend circumstances. The heads up match (lasted 2 hands) i think was just a way of getting it over and getting the TLB points squared away.
