So after watching Matusow donk it up last night in the WSOP PLO online event I saw that ACR was actually running a PLO freeroll so I jumped in. This actually paid money instead of a ticket to another tournament, more on that later. Game Hand #446133941 - Tournament #21862935 - Omaha(Pot Limit) - Level 3 (30.00/60.00)- 2020/07/21 04:30:10 UTC Table '82' 6-max Seat #2 is the button Seat 1: PHILLYFINEST (5639.00) Seat 2: HAWKABOVE (6425.00) Seat 4: hero (3908.00) Seat 5: AZNHEAT (3970.00) Seat 6: jimmiy (3690.00) is sitting out hero posts the big blind 60.00 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to hero [Qc Ah 2h Ac] AZNHEAT folds jimmiy folds PHILLYFINEST calls 60.00 HAWKABOVE calls 60.00 hero raises 180.00 to 240.00 PHILLYFINEST calls 180.00 HAWKABOVE calls 180.00 *** FLOP *** [5h Kc 7s] Main pot 720.00 hero checks PHILLYFINEST bets 60.00 HAWKABOVE calls 60.00 hero calls 60.00 *** TURN *** [5h Kc 7s] [5d] Main pot 900.00 hero checks PHILLYFINEST bets 675.00 HAWKABOVE folds hero folds Uncal...

Got an invite in my email to play a freeroll on ACR. Looked like a good deal with 5 players getting a $90 ticket to a venom satellite and 6th getting $25. Not so much after registering and seeing 500+ players in there. Anyway, very first hand. Game Hand #444454537 - Tournament #21205658 - Holdem(No Limit) - Level 1 (15.00/30.00)- 2020/07/19 23:30:32 UTC Table '62' 9-max Seat #5 is the button Seat 1: BamaTidwell (2500.00) Seat 2: purplegoddess (2500.00) Seat 3: OSVALDO50 (2500.00) Seat 4: bigd9382 (2500.00) Seat 5: jloan323 (2500.00) Seat 6: AmAndy (2500.00) Seat 7: SAIMINTIS (2500.00) Seat 8: GONMAR111 (2500.00) Seat 9: hero (2500.00) AmAndy posts the small blind 15.00 SAIMINTIS posts the big blind 30.00 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to hero [K ♦ Q ♦ ] GONMAR111 folds hero raises 75.00 to 75.00 BamaTidwell folds purplegoddess folds OSVALDO50 folds bigd9382 calls 75.00 jloan323 calls 75.00 AmAndy folds SAIMINTIS folds *** FLOP *** [4 ♦ 9 ♦ 5♠] Main pot 270.00 hero bets 225.00 bi...

So ACR has this format called cyclone poker. It's very similar to Zoom Poker on Stars but it's for satellites. You get 1500 in starting chips, can jump in any time, and if you get to 5k you get the entry to the next step, or your tournament just ends when you go busto (although there is an option to rebuy). The other wrinkle is that the tables are all 3-handed. Button, SB, BB, that's it. I don't believe the blinds increase, it was 50/100 when I jumped in. Once your action in the hand is over you can hit fold & stay and watch the rest of the hand before getting moved or just hit fold and you get moved to another table immediately. So like with Zoom Poker it's random as to what position you will be on each hand. Anyway won a few small pots and was up a bit when this hand came up: Game Hand #442890242 - Tournament #21109558 - Holdem(No Limit) - Level 1 (50.00/100.00)- 2020/07/18 22:45:16 UTC Table '7' 3-max Seat #1 is the button Seat 1: villain2(281...

So I've been watching Matusow's streams of the WSOP and it's peaked my interest in playing again. Jumped into a .05/.10 PLO cash game and played conservative-wise at a really loose-aggressive table. Every pot was raised.So I bought in for 50BBs and here are a few hands. Seat 5 is the button Total number of players: 5 Seat 1: villain ( $ 19.12 USD ) Seat 2: np83 ( $ 4.47 USD ) Seat 4: hero ( $ 4.85 USD ) Seat 5: Fox ( $ 16.21 USD ) Seat 7: sxm59 ( $ 16.07 USD ) sxm59: posts small blind [$ 0.05 USD] villain: posts big blind [$ 0.10 USD] ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to hero [ A ♦ , 6 ♥ , Q ♦ , Q ♥ ] np83 raises [$ 0.35 USD] hero calls [$ 0.35 USD] Fox folds sxm59 folds villain calls [$ 0.25 USD] Basically a 3 card hand but I figure in a short handed game I could get away with calling this. A little risky with players to act behind, but no one had 3-bet to that point so I figured to get to the flop.  ** Dealing Flop ** [ 7 ♥ , 8 ♠ , J♣ ] villain checks n...
