Anyone else playing?

Not today but it looks like a ton of fun. Maybe next week. GL.

Might as well put some content in this thread:

UTG and I have about 10k, BB has 5.5 or so. 15/30 several limpers to me in the CO with QhQd4h2c, several more callers, BB makes it 150, all call. 6 to the flop with a pot of 900. flop is J77 rainbow. BB thinks forever and checks. checked around (!). Turn is a Q, putting a 2-flush on. checked to UTG, who bets 250. folded to me, I call hoping to get some overcalls. (This was probably a mistake). BB calls, river is a K. BB fires out 270. UTG quickly calls. I think and just call.

Is the timing tell on BB reliable? Looks like a slowplayed seven to me or JJxx. I'd raise the river 3/4 pot and fold to a big reraise.

I'd also think going for an overcall on the turn is probably a mistake as in the early stages of these tourneys you can get a lot of action from people who are drawing stone cold dead. No need to be fancy.

who would bet 270 here with KK/77?
maybe he has K7, probably worse.
i think u absolutely should raise this river. youre giving up alot here.

[bobman0330]

It started at 6:15 yesterday, 5k chips, blinds start at 10/20 (possibly 15/30), and blinds increase every half hour, according to the standard Stars schedule. There were ~150 for $20+2 yesterday.

Yeah, I think it was a horrible call. I didn't quite have confidence in my ability to fold to a reraise after such light action for the whole hand, and i'm not sure J7 calls anyways, so i decided not to borrow trouble. BB showed AA77 though, so my weak-tightness paid off.

Bustout hand: I have 10k, blinds are 50/100, maybe 100/200. A raise and a reraise from EP, folded to me, i call for half my stack with JT97ds(?), first raiser pushes, we both call. Astonishingly, I'm against AKQ4ds and AKxxss, with one live flush draw. I make my live flush, but AKQ4 makes a boat and i'm done. It was great fun though, and would probably be even more enjoyable for someone better than I at PLO.

Any idea if that is a regular thing?

[Spellmen]

Yes, it is bi-weekly I think. Check the Stars schedule but I believe they run a $20+2 at 6 once a week and a $30+3 at something like 2 or 3am EST once a week

*Edit* Here is the tournament schedule, it has the deepstack schedule on it http://www.pokerstars.com/board2.html#deepstack

Ty all for the responses. Very helpful.

I look forward to trying the 6pm one...but the one at 2am is a little late for me /images/graemlins/confused.gif
