It is to the point that I am on the fence about playing the @WSOP event. Tournaments already have tons of variance, this UNPRECEDENTED ante change, raises the variance 200-300% in my expert opinion. @WSOP @Kevmath @AllenKessler @RealKidPoker @mgrapes

[Allen Kessler @AllenKessler]

The antes look super aggressive in today's $10k stud hi event

Example level 12 is standard 1k 2k 5k 10k

But later on at 50k 100k the ante is 15k instead of 10k.

There are several other high non standard antes.

@gunslingerbach @RealKidPoker @AllenKessler @WSOP @WSOPTD Whoa this is incredible. Insane. Thought it has to be a typo but it's the same for stud/8 and razz, and same in the app and pdf structures.

10K HORSE has 700 ante / 800 bring-in on these levels. No need to race off the hundreds so early. I like big antes but 40% of complete?!

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Looking at the structure for the 10k Stud tomorrow. It is really warped.
There is a double level of 2500-5000 with a 1k ante.
Never seen this anywhere in a tournament. It totally changes the game, and in my opinion is a mistake. @RealKidPoker @AllenKessler @WSOP @WSOPTD

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Got a really lucky river on a draw in a super inflated pot because two people trying to get allin ( i did have the draw on 4th street )
Now on 203k in @OrleansPokerRo1 Triple Stud

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Kinda frustrating last week, I keep crushing early, going from 175% to 400% stack, and then either card dead or beats ( mostly card dead ), gets me back to a small winner and short around bubble. Happened like 5-6 different tournaments. It will turn around, I am playing well

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Good Start to @OrleansPokerRo1 Triple Stud: up to 71k from 40k start. Made a couple really nice plays already, using some of my stud secrets I am not giving away ( too much good stuff out there for NLH…. ). This might be my dream format, only played a few ever, won a PCA.

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Busted the Dealers Choice with AQ vs K4 allin preflop
I am targeting the 10k Seven Stud tomorrow @WSOP
So, decided to play the 1 day event @OrleansPokerRo1
A very fun event Triple Stud, with a perfect structure for a one day event. Nice turnout with 100 and 4 hours left.

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Wow i am TIRED: had the adrenaline of fighting through a bubble of a Day 2, finishing 11th in TORSE ( tough beat to go out ). Then a full Day of Dealers Choice. A lot of focus and effort today @WynnPoker and @WSOP Made Day 2 with 41k. Ready for Bracelet #4.

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Little frustrating to not accumulate more chips those 2 hours. Table got a big downgrade with a couple good players replacing others.
Still fine with 53k though @WSOP Dealers Choice

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

This has to be my favorite tournament of the year @WSOP Dealers Choice:
On 56k at end of registration

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Really Like the structure for this @WSOP Dealers Choice ( with double level split by end of registration ). @PearlJammed @AllenKessler

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Got a really nice compliment on a call i made with 44 in Stud/8 earlier today on the Bubble. I got raised on 5th by K93 and had to call off when he paired 3’s: I was good and held. Now on 33k in @WSOP Dealers Choice

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

11 left I got allin Stud/8 with 88c2cK4 vs 6J6TJ ( i checkraised 4th and he is supposed to fold ). Missed the low and 5 outs for hi to be eliminated @WynnPoker TORSE. Now on to @WSOP 1500 Dealers Choice

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Well that was a bit crazy: I went up to 150k, down to 21k and all spots in between
Then I was allin 18k on bubble triple draw 1-1 draw at same time as another player went out on bubble, so worst case half a mincash. But I won.
Now on 78k with 13 left @WynnPoker TORSE

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Frustrating end to the day: got moved to a new table and had 7563 in stud/8 against 27 that was rolled up and no reads on the player. Also lost Omaha/8 with doublesuited AA that flopped a set. Made Day 2, but short with 97500 @WynnPoker TORSE.

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Very card dead those 2 hours. Fortunately I had plenty of chips to start with. Still on 201500 going to 5k-10k @WynnPoker TORSE.

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

That was up there for best 4 hours of tournament poker in my career. Made like 4 7’s in 2-7, a wheel in Razz, boat in 5 in Seven Stud…..Turned 40k into 272k
Would be very surprised if not chipleader of @WynnPoker TORSE

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Pretty good sign when your opponents are calling you a F-ing luckbox 😁
You all know the type: reconstructs every hand where they had the best of it and you got super lucky ( no facts required ). Good start to @WynnPoker TORSE with 85800 at 2nd break

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Decided to play the TORSE @WynnPoker today:
Off to a great start, up to 60k from 40k after only playing 30 minutes.

[david bach @gunslingerbach]

Feel GREAT about my focus, decisions, and execution today. Big things are coming, if I can put together more days of poker like today @WSOP
