PokerStars – 150/300 Ante 40 NL – Holdem – 9 players Losing your chips early in a WCOOP sucks, but running up a big stack in a PKO has a lot more value than in a regular tournament because it enables you to chase bounties. Plus with all the dead money and the bounty on Villain, getting in AJ vs KK isn’t the end of the world anyway. I don’t think Villain’s 4-bet is that likely to be light, but it’s not impossible. Initially, I’ve got a pretty good hand and there’s a ton of money in the pot that I’d love to win immediately. It doesn’t look great, but I think looking at each decision in a vacuum none seems bad to me. I’m still not sure what to think of it – it’s so hard to decide how to value accumulation vs survival in these events. In the $215 PKO, I got quite ambitious in an early pot. I got off to a good start in it but then lost AK to AK. That gave me time to go for a bike ride and a pastry in town before starting work for the day. I planned my schedule around the $2K (naturally), so I registered the warm-up quite late.
