Rebuy Satellite

Its already been two weeks since I have posted something. Time to do some updating.

I have been plaing a lot of Stud 8 lately. I was playing after work today (and badly) I was down 1/2 a buy-in at $0.50/$1. I got it back up to $12.55 when I was dealt a nice hand, rolled up 3's.

I was able to cap 5th and 6th street. Too bad he didn't fill up on the end or I could have capped the river as well. I went from a losing session to a winning session just like that.


I have been looking at the WCOOP satellites on Stars and wanted to play some of my $115 W$ that I have. I got in a $4+$0.40 rebuy event. There were 109 runners and a seat was given to the Round 2 satellite for every $82 in the pool.

I was listening to Eric 'Sheets' Haber on the card player interview and although he didn't talk strategy for rebuy events I picked up some tips from what he said. I didn't rebuy immediately since there were only 2 at the table that took the immediate rebuy. After linping and calling small raises with suited junk I was down $100 and ended up taking the rebuy to get up to $1900. I dipped below $1000 again and rebought. I ended up shoving twice and losing and doing the double rebut both times. Now I am in for 7 buy-ins. I finally get a double-up hand and am up to $4600 at the break. After the rebuy period was over I took the add-on and had $5600 coming out of the break.

I played super tight and was able to maintain my stack for a couple laps. I got blinded down to $4500 (about 10 BB's) and was able to get it up to $12,000 without showing a hand. A few hands later I picked-up 10,10 in the SB. It was folded to me and I shoved. I had the BB outchipped by about 3k. He took a while and called with a suited A,Q. HE flopped a flush draw but I faded the turn and river to get up to $21k and I was 2nd in chips with 24 left. I played a few hands from there but not many. I was blinded down to around 14th with 18 left (17th got cash, 16th won a seat), Although I was low I was never really in danger of losing the seat because of where I was in relation to the blinds and where the shorter stacks were. Twice I was getting a little low when the BB came to me but I got walks both times.

I ended up getting the $82 seat. I had a total of $32.40 invested so it was a decent profit. When we were down to 3 tables I didn't even notice Ante-Upper Popeye39 was in the tournament until he busted in 22nd.
