So I was doing good in the HORSE.

Had a rollercoaster day 2 with me being down to less than 2k a couple of times and coming back again to well over 30k, but in the end a lack of both skill and luck prevailed to put me out of my misery (not really actually) a few spots from the money.

As I mentioned, not really a misery as I really enjoyed getting to know all these new games, it was both interesting and entertaining.

I definitely plan to play a few HORSE events in the near future, there just aren´t alot outside the USA, so I´ll probably have to settle on the WCOOP 5k event.

To most people, me busting out of a HORSE tournament doesn´t come as a big surprise, but you would expect me to do well at PLO.

No such luck today as I am out of the 5k pound event as well.

As this is PLO, I cannot even tell you a great bad beat story.

I got off to a good start but lost it all in a giant pot to someone who decided to gamble for most of his chips preflop with AJJT, calling 27k at 200-400 being invested for 1400.

Oh well, I´ll rather win the 10k pound NL anyway.

Aside from that, it was a fun day involving a nice dinner with Roland and Ilari, some chinese poker (expensive dinner), a little railbirding, and meeting the famous SBRugy to go with Taylor Caby and Ezra from Cardrunners.

I just found out that Thomas Bihl won the HORSE bracelet in a HU battle against Jen Harman.

Congratulations to him, who I don´t know at all, despite him being german and friends with lots of people I know quite well.

Grats to Jennifer as well, who I played quite a bit with during the tourney and who I was rooting for as she seems like a really nice person.

thanks for reading-

Nikolaus
