WSOF trip report.

So, I signed up for the world's biggest flipaments with high hopes. I knew I was +ev in this and just needed to sit back and wait for the cards to play themselves.

First round was easy. SixForty was nice, but nice people have no place at the poker table. I used to old "please lose, thank you" strategy for the first time. When all else failed, I turned to my bulletproof river catching method.

2nd round proved much easier than I thought. Villian was way outclassed and outplaying him proved very easy. I got him to put all his chips in with 8 high, and rivered a 3rd round.

3rd round was the first real match for me. I knew antoshka was a luckbox, so I had to fight fire with fire. It took all my power to outdraw his ace high, but I knew 64 wouldn't let me down.

Next round was the sweetest of all. I was waiting for the grudge match against the one legged asian machine. I feared him at first, but found his weakness at the end. He cannot withstand the flush draws. GG Adam. Thanks for all the monies.
