A few orbits from the satellites

I did take a sort-of-sickie on Tuesday, and played two badugi WCOOP satellites while listening to the men's US Open final. I made a strong start to the first tournament, a $22 buy-in with 23 runners, 10-minute levels and 1500 starting chips. By the first break I'd amassed 4100 chips, having made number two and a pair of 65's, and I built on that good start to comfortably make the final table. Before too long we were down to two. My opponent opened a reasonable amount but didn't defend widely enough and was generally too passive. Admittedly I continued to make good hands heads-up, and I took the tournament ticket, or rather the T$320.

I'd actually targeted the second tournament as my best chance of winning a ticket. This one was deep-stacked (3000 chips to start), with longer (15-minute) levels. It drew 19 runners. I ran reasonably well and was in the middle of the pack when we got to the final table. With three significant cash prizes in addition to the ticket I felt I was better than even to come away with something, but the standard seemed relatively high and people (understandably) didn't want to bust out. In the end my playable hands dried up, and although I was granted a stay of execution when my 64A was enough for a double-up, I finished in sixth.

Overall I was a healthy net winner of course, and my T$ balance had whopped up to $504. Tonight I sold that tournament money on the open market for $502 via Twoplustwo. Someone snapped up my offer within seconds. Someone else asked me to give him first right of refusal when I get some more; if he's happy to wait a year then by all means.

Winning and offloading all that T$ has given my bankroll a handy boost: it's now just over $3500. Here are a few hands from Tuesday's satellites:

Hand 1
An interesting line on the river from a pro. I wonder what he had. Junk? Maybe he misclicked.

Hand 5
Normally this would be a thinnish cap, but then I remembered Hand 4 from just four minutes earlier. As it turned out it was pretty thin but I think he was three-betting a lot of worse hands here.

Hands 6 & 7
A couple of snows in quick succession when we got heads-up. He didn't seem to consider the possibility that I didn't have a badugi. I'm not sure about the first snow - it's possible I had the best three-card anyway.
