Before the start of this tournament series trip my primary goals were;
Clock 40 hours played at minimum
Explore their 10-20 FL DC w/ Kill (HE/O/O8) & 2-2000 SL Omaha
Not use my phone while playing
Adhere to this casino's preposterous chip cutting/betting line rule(s).
It's the final event morning of the series, and so far I'm on point for everything. I've already clocked 43 hours, and should be able to easily clear another 10-12+ over the 15 playable hours between noon & whatever madness 03:40 am "last three hands" will trigger.
My super brief 35 minute seating in 10-20 FL DC was super fun. I must likely benefited from some positive variance, but the ocean of dead money that appears to be available in that game is something I wish I had more time to explore. I'm sure that there must be some if not several very skilled local players in that game... But probably not the one I was in briefly, because this monkey ran amok!
My shot(s) in SL Omaha was not nearly as fortunate. As far as absurd gambling poker goes watching a table open with nine people min buying for $50 and punting it all in pre in Omaha it's pretty entertaining, I really can't find myself appreciating what amounts to NL Omaha. I took some bad variance in my efforts to run a stack up, three times (in ten shots) I managed to triple/quadruple up into 160-220 territory, but I never managed to get that next chip up until I eventually called it an experience and returned to familiar formats.
Last minute, I decided that I wanted to avoid using my phone as much as possible. The lack of self generated distraction while playing is obvious. Whether I'm playing with a new crowd, or with a table full of players I feel I've figured out, this benefit is a no-brainer. In reference to saving my cognitive energy for playing sessions longer/better, it's also a lock. I really need to reduce my overall phone use while playing.
I'm not going to claim victory regarding not failing in bet execution (betting line/chip cuts) since I have a lot of playing left to do today... But so far/so good...
