This was a fun little tourney I played on Ultimate Bet. It was a low buy-in with rebuys and add-ons. I was doing good before the brake so I didn’t do any re-buys but did the add-on just to pad my chips a little.

Played the $3.30 PLO8 tournament (with one rebuy and one add on) tonight and took the whole thing down. Was having a downswing day on the cash games and needed a good win to boost the bankroll back into some kind of playable range. I had to do both the re-buy and add on to stay in the game for the beginning was rough. Didn’t get any playable hands and the times I did, the flop seemed to dash any hope of wining the hand. The play was fast and crazy at the beginning, with people going broke or building monster stacks very quickly. I have played this tournament alot, so I’m used to the crazy play it brings. After the break I caught some cards and a couple breaks to put me into the chip lead but that didn’t last long. Couple bad beats and now I’m the short stack and looking for a good spot to get all my chips in the pot. When I made the final table I was in 5th chip position and totally card dead. At one point I only had 13K left and the two big stacks both had over 100K. A couple of double ups, well timed bluffs and the next thing I know I’m heads up and ready to do battle. At the start of H/U play he had me out chipped by about 50K, but with in 4 hands the match was over. It took about four and half hours.
