Having trouble posting from poker room. Out in 11th. Built my stack to 16k. Down to 11k. SS pushes with 8k, I call with AK. Nothing. Push J,10 suited into AA. Only 28 entries.
Ready to run in today event. Up quite a bit last night playing NL and a great 1/2 PLO game. $300 max. Up about $250. Crazy table. Ppl constantly going broke with 2 pr hands.
Well just got home, tired. And a little disappointed with what it "could" have been... Will update the finances shortly, ev1 made money but just not much compared to Hobbes. At least we didn't lose. Will also post a more detailed trip report asap.

Money is money. Nice job comp.
And remember that you did better than a certain other member.

Bolded the most significant portion. Profit is profit, comp. Well played sir . . .
Ok, now to figure this out... BAP has to be adjusted since I only played 2 of the 3 BAP tournaments as the Saturday $115. didn't go.
This was the initial agreement:
Moose - swap 5%, Fri $105. and Sun $205.
Hobbes - swap 5%, Fri $105, Sat $115. and Sun $205.
Zoolook - 5%, $21. paid via Moose.
Cerberus - 5%, $21. paid on Stars.
Steve Kerr - 5%, $21.
Milo - 5%, $21.
Westside8 - 5%, $20.
Pinhead - 5%, $21.
Total cost was supposed to be $425. but actually was $310. so 5% would cost $15. rounded down.
I won $525. - $25. tip left for tournament staff. (There was no automatic tip % withheld so I felt this was appropriate.)
This also makes it easy to calculate. Each 5% share is worth $25. I calculate
amount owed to each person is as below. Moose and I already did our swap and settled in Windsor.
Hobbes - 5% swap. $25. Paid on Stars.
Zoolook - 5%, He paid me $21 so I owe him a $6. refund plus the $25. share, total $31.
Cerberus - 5%, He paid me $21 so I owe him a $6. refund plus the $25. share, total $31. Paid on Stars.
Steve Kerr - 5%, $21. was unpaid so he owes me the revised $15. and I owe him $25, net I owe $10. Paid on Stars.
Milo - 5%, $21. was unpaid so he owes me the revised $15. and I owe him $25, net I owe $10. Paid on Stars.
Westside8 - 5%, $20. was unpaid so he owes me the revised $15. and I owe him $25, net I owe $10. And actually since he got the BAP discount of $1. I owe him $11. Paid on Stars.
Pinhead - 5%, $21. was unpaid so he owes me the revised $15. and I owe him $25, net I owe $10. Paid on Stars.
Does anyone see anything I did wrong figuring it out? Hobbes?

It's easier to just add the BI into the BR and it works out the same. Also, I paid you in Windsor but left before you cashed.
Left for Windsor from Milton about 10:30 as Moose had said he and his group, himself, MMoose and MooseSR would be leaving about 11 from Cambridge. Figured that would get us into Windsor about the same time.
Traffic was fairly light all the way there, but I stopped for 20 min at one of the service centers to stretch my legs and grab a quick bite..
Arrived at Caesars Windsor about 2pm and went looking for everyone else. After about a half hour I ran into Hobbes but no sign of Moose’s crew or SeekTheGrail or MrsSeekThe Grail.
Hobbes and I wandered around, checked out the poker room, and signed up for the 4pm tourney. Only 1 registration prior to us. Not a good sign.
About 3:45 we finally see MMoose wandering towards the poker room, and the rest shortly afterwards. Not sure why everyone else was so late.
By this time there were only 8 entries but we were assured that more would sign up as we started. By the time the first hand was dealt I think we had like 13 players on 2 tables. Gradually built up to the point we had two full tables, then they allowed reentries until the end of 1st break which was at the end of level 3 (30 min each). We never got beyond 20 but eventually ended up with 28 paid entries, paying 5 spots.
Structure was pretty good for a casino although some obvious levels were left out making it sort of turbo-ish around mid tourney. During level 2 I took a decent pot from Moose when I flopped a set of 5’s vs his KK. Think this was at 50/100 level when I limped, LP raised to 400??, Moose smooth called in the blind, and I completed the action. Can’t recall flop but it had a 5 and no A so a perfect firestorm was created. Moose led out for 900?? I called and so did LP raiser. Normally I would raise there to let a friend know I meant business but I just called to keep LP in.
Turn is another small card and Moose leads out for 1500. I call but LP folds. River is another brick and Moose leads for 2K. I raise and he folds almost instantly.. Good move Moose, I show..
Since we had pieces of each other I really didn’t want to cripple him but with the LP raiser I didn’t want to lose value. Can’t really recall much else about this one as far as hands go but I busted 11th to create final and both Moose and Hobbes were still ok although Moose was short. He had played the short stack to perfection for a long time to get there and I wished them both luck while I went for a walk to cool off.
Came back when they were 6 handed to see Moose bust out on the bubble although they had arranged a bubble prize. Hobbes stack continued to do the rollercoaster until the worked a save at 3 and a chop heads up. Will let him describe in his thread.
Played 1 / 2 cash, 200 max with some of the worst players I’ve seen in a while but could never really get many decent hands and ended the night up a small amount.
Saturday morning met up with Hobbes in the poker room but found out that they couldn’t get enough players to run the tournament. Disappointed in this but turned out to be best as we played cash for 3 or 4 hours before going for dinner at Tunnel BBQ, highly recommend it if you are ever in Windsor. I had built my stack up to about $450. during the afternoon.
Managed to get an evening 1 / 2 $300 max PLO game going with a full table for at least 3 hours, total was probably 5 hours with 7 or 8 players. Moose two my left and SeekTheGrail Steve two to my right. Most fun I’ve had at a table in quite a while. 2-3 other decent players (besides us )
And the rest were a collection of complete newbie’s and gamblers. Seems like 2 pr is the nuts in PLO and that’s the way they played it…I can’t even begin to describe all the crazy hands. I had one myself where I flopped a nut flush draw (in position) as well as top 2 and had 2 people betting into me. Made the flush on the river, no paired board EP leads out for 50, MP calls, I raise 70 more and they both fold. Moose won like a $600. pot when he flopped a set and took a poor players stack. Many people would rebuy multiple times for $100. at a time. Stupid, just plain suicide at PLO.
Sunday Update to come. (My fingers are getting tired)
Yeah but that whole bit with the kk vs your set was on Sun in the 10k deepstack. Man how the memory goes...and to correct it:
I raised UTG 3x. You flat. LP reraises to 800. Flat, flat.
I lead 900ish you flat LP folds.
Turn J, I check call your 1500.
River I decide I could be good against QQ or 1010, but likely you have a set, thinking you hit the J. I decide that I would call a 2k bet so I lead with that and insta open fold to your shove so fast that the rest of the table assumes that I called and confusion reigned for a few minutes.

Hopefully the $205. Tomorrow will be a go.
Go go go

This gets real complicated... lol, so I owe you $25. correct? You paid me for your Friday cash right?
$31. on Stars?

Correct. I paid you at Tunnel BBQ on Saturday.
