I just played in this last night, and I have to say that this is a great practice in patience.

I wanted some live, mechanical experience in LO8 tourneys for an upcoming trip to Tunica. I haven't played a live O8 event since Commerce, and that was pretty much a joke (structure), and a $1500 event which played almost exactly like a cash game.

When I play online, I tend to keep myself distracted by surfing around and not paying attention until the endgame. I needed to just feel it out again.

Anyway, while I hate the Orleans, and while I know the two events are not that similar (Orleans daily vs. WSOP/Jack Binion's Open), like I said, I wanted to feel the rhythm of an O8 event again.

I don't regret playing. I found some leaks.

Luckily I'd just completely run over the 4/8 Kill game beforehand, and had my buy-in plus rebuys and add-on. Very soft game. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

So I made it down to about 25. Made some errors, and learned some lessons.

Back to Zee and Ciaffone for me, as well as another run through of TPFAP before we head out to Tunica.
