2nd update: WBCOOP

Events -4 and -6

I played two more events and again cashed in both!

The first one was Event-4:NLHE/PLO (Turbo) with 314 entrants.
Because of the turbo structure this tournament was more like a donkament but at least I could get ITM and busted in 95th place. Therefore I received another $5,50 SCOOP ticket.

The second MTT was Event-6:8-Game with 256 entrants.
This was my first 8-Game MTT I played and it was a lot of fun to play and a good alternation.
I like especially playing Limit Razz, maybe I will try to play some more Razz in the near future.
We startet with a pretty deep 5000 chip stack so you needed more skill to succeed. I felt quite comfortable in this game and it was no problem to come ITM. My aim was to reach the top 18 places but unfortunately I busted in 51st place when I got sucked out by playing PLO.
Nevertheless I am happy to receive a $11 SCOOP ticket.

Furthermore I saw that you can use the tickets for the SCOOP as well as the MicroMillions which will beginn in two weeks!

1st update: WBCOOP

 Events -2 and -3

Yesterday the WBCOOP started and I played my first two events.
Everyone who successful qualified could find 10 tickets in his account. I used two of the ten tickets to play "Event-2 Pot Limit Omaha 6max" and "Event-3 Fixed Limit Badugi"
I have chosen these two events because if you look up the number of entrants of the first three events you can see the difference:

Every event has the same prizepool around $1500 with a fixed pay-out structure (first 108 -96 came ITM). In conclusion its more +EV to play the events with a lower number of entrants. Though I have hardly any experience playing badugi I have a good chance to finish in the money because 96 of 202 entrants got payed out, thats like a double or nothing!

Review: 
Event -2:PLO, 6Max: I finished in 36th place = $16,50 SCOOP ticket

Event -3:FL Badugi: I finished in 95th place = $5,50 SCOOP ticket

All in all it is really fun to play with all these other bloggers because you can read their blogs and can chat with them while on a dinner break. I would say that a lot of them are pretty solid poker players so it will be tough to reach a final table.Another thing that catched my eye was the high number of russian players/bloggers that participate.I was surprised that these players have their own blogs, (I am wondering if they blog about their impressive runner-runner suck outs every day) :P

Next:
Today I plan to play Event-4:NLHE/PLO (Turbo) and maybe Event-5:NLHE Shootout as well.
Tomorrow I will play only Event-8: NLHE.

PS: leave a comment if you have a own blog and participate in the WBCOOP
