All Badugi, All Night
I'm a bit late with my update. Reason is, when I got done with my session shortly before midnight, I noticed that my laptop battery was almost empty, which surprised me, because it was supposed to be plugged in. After trying a few things, including checking the cable and trying different sockets, it became clear that it wasn't charging anymore. By now, I have determined that the AC adapter itself was the problem, so I will have to get a new one, and I have borrowed another one in the meantime.
Anyway, I played the WCOOP Badugi Side Events, and even decided on short notice to also play the $55 high event - I'm not completely sure, but this may have been the highest buy-in tournament I ever willingly played, disregarding that $100 misclick reg on 888 ten years ago, and a few games I may have sattied into, which therefore don't count.
Let's cut the BS and get to the one you want to hear about right away: The $55 tournament did indeed cash.
I finished 16th out of 179 for $64.08 - unfortunately without any bounties.

This being a 2nd ladder finish, it at least put me into profit in that game, which was very important, as I don't have too much MTT profit to sit on this year. Shame about the lack of bounties, though there were some good opportunities. One time, I managed to put a now short-stacked player with a $50 bounty all-in predraw heads-up while I was holding a pat Q-Badugi. Roughly 53% equity for me, but he hit his draw.
In a more egregious situation, I doubled-up against a bigger stack by bluff-catching with a good value hand. I then isolated him (now short) with a pat K-Badugi, he made a pot-sized re-raise, but instead of calling with his last remaining 55 chips when I went all-in, he simply left and timed out. He was auto all-in in the next hand, but naturally, more players were now trying to get his free bounty, and someone else succeeded.
Other than that, I may have been overly tight near the bubble, but admittedly, this game was way out of my usual buy-in range.
Now the other tourneys: The $11 game did not cash, finishing in 170th place shortly before the end of late reg with 107 out of 721 paid. At least I picked up two bounties worth $5 in total. The $2.20 tournament was the latest one to finish for me. I got ITM, finishing 73rd out of 1,284 with 179 paid for $3.69 and $1 worth of bounties.
Putting it all together, this puts us at combined returns of $73.77 against our combined buy-ins of $68.20, so it was a slightly profitable night after all, though it is still in break-evenish territory with only $5.57 in profit. Still, it's nice to have secured a profit here at all. If I had bricked the $55, we surely would have seen it plain as day in this year's graphs.
