I don’t have much of interest to report from the other WCOOPs I’ve played recently, which were the $1K NLHE and the $500 NLHE Triple Shootout. I registered 2.5 hours late for the 8-Game but ended up running up a big stack almost immediately but running well in PLO, Triple Draw, and O/8. I lost about 1/3 of my stack in a Stud hand that I probably played badly because I suck at Stud, and then there was this hand in Stud/8.
I think it’s interesting primarily for the 5th street action. I’ve got a small pair, a low draw, and a flush draw, but presumably not yet a winner for anything. Although Villain catches an A, two of the others are dead, it seemed like a good spot for me to try to rep that I had a made Aces up or trip deuces. I doubted he would have better than Kings up. Even that seems unlikely when I end up rivering Kings up myself, but I think his raise on 6th has to be extremely strong. I tanked for a long time before folding the river, and I posted the hand on 2p2 because I’m far from certain I played it correctly.
