Swedish Open was no success for myself. I played 1 event, the 6-max omaha.
I had a really nice first table. To my right was Micke Norinder and Magnus Petersson. Mixed value, but at least good conversation 
The thing I love the most about playing big events in Sweden are that they are well organized and the atmosphere is outstanding! I guess not having loud fistpumping Americans around helps 
I had lots of playable hands early on, but flopped really poorly. Unfortunately Micke Norinder managed to bust the value at the table before it broke. I had to move to another table with a stack slightly larger than what I’ve started with. The last hand before the dinner break I get involved in my first big hand. Blinds were 300-600. Two players limps and the button makes it 1800 and I look down at AAA8s. I have about 27k in my stack and so does the button raiser. I have two options here, raising or folding. No, calling is not an option since I am in the worst position (sb) and don’t flop good enough. Since it is the last hand before the dinner break and I should pick up the pot here very often, I decide to repop. The limpers fold and the button calls the 6200. Flop is J92 with a fd in hearts. I have the Ah which makes a little difference in defining ranges and card removal. However it doesn’t change my action. I can either check-fold, thinking he hit this flop very often, or I can put maximum pressure on him and give him the oppurtunity to fold, pair+gut shot type hands with no flushdraw. It’s very unlikely that he flopped a set unless he has a strong 2-pair hand or plays fishy Also it is likely that he has KKxx which might pay me off. I decide to bet almost pot and he goes all in which I call. He flips KQT2 with no flushdraw. Classic coinflip with him beeing a 52/48% favourite. Obv I lose and I’m left with 600 chips going to dinner.
I bust right after dinner. I’m not sure how I feel about my play. Sure I got it in with the right odds and gave him 2 oppurtunities to ditch a worse hand, but ended up on the wrong side of a flip. Shit happens, but was it too early to flip?
My team m8 Johan Berg took 2nd in the event. Well done m8 =)
I play a little cash game while waiting for my train back home, but not very lucky there either. Lose a few hands I shouldn’t have before I leave for the train. PLO variance is a B*tch!
