Hey guys. I have had a break from online poker the last week or so, because i had som irl stuff that i had to sort out considering where i am going to live the next couple of months, and my income. Other than that one of my friends decided to call me and ask me if i was interested in playing a sat for WPT Copenhagen, he was going to pay everything. We did agree and i went to Copenhagen and i won the sat, 20 players with 2 seats gtd and allmost money enough for 1 more seat for 3rd. After 5½ hours i won BvsB had KK and while we were talking about a deal so we somehow could make it 3 full seats for the WPT, i just 3x raise his BB bcs i had bigger stack as if i was just stealing, he shoved on me with K10, easy call and win.
So i am participating in WPT Copenhagen the 8th of november and hopefully i can do something nice to my CV in that event. By the way, if anyone have good experience in teaching newbeginners playing an live tour with the buyin amount of 2000$, i would love to get some talk on skype or just private message, on what the most important things to do in such tournaments.
Okay so now to why i decided to post. I have this 1010, and i am playing the 0,10$ 50$ gtd on stars VIP section. Guy limps on MP 2 or 3, i 3,5x it and another villain calls, and the limper calls, now the reason i just check back on the flop is that i didnt want to be the one shoving with 1010 on an Axx flop, if one of the 2 villains had an a, but then it goes check check on turn, and i decide to bet, because i suspect that they appereantly did not have any ace - take a look here and please give me some feedback.
Button had 3, J, 8, Q (three of a kind, eights).
Sabr1988 had 9, A, 6, 5 (straight, ten high).
Outcome: Sabr1988 won $1.38
not a big PLO player but is this a dodgy river call with a minute bankroll. theres potentially quite a few boats and better straights out there with people playing connected cards like 789 ,89T, 9TJ.

Button have been very active and playing allmost every hand, and on turn i chase the nutflush and the gutshot, while thinking he could have something like 2 pair, also he very rarely bets an 8 on flop, but given his activity he could have hit all or nothing, so having nutfd i decided to call, riverbet looked strong, i was thinking, but this particular time i wanted to see his hand. Also to get a better feeling, but yeah, was very puke-ish call at the river.
Button had 2, 6, 2, K (three of a kind, twos).
Sabr1988 had 5, K, 6, 5 (three of a kind, fives).
Outcome: Sabr1988 won $7.69
I can not really complain about this choice i made by chosing to play 50% of my roll, i knew in advance i had a big edge on those players so was like 80%20% to lose and at worst in a flip where i can never fold, but good for me it did not go that way.
