Getting bored

Of all the shit music, that is. The Omaha's great fun. Will be buying another couple of albums tomorrow I think before work because most of the stuff I've got now is pissing me off already. Got up at 7.30pm last night and I'm due into work at 11am. So I guess I'll be staying awake until I finish work... Gonna be fucked.

Anyway:

572 hands
567 flops
$29.42 profit
129ptBBs/100

Another two flops not seen:

Sick.

Made an effort to record a load of hands from the session I've just played so I guess I might as well talk through a few of them.

I obviously have to play a lot of bad hands against short stacks and must resist the temptation to set them in on these kind of flops. A K92 flop would be okay but on this lowwy flop I'm just in terrible shape:

Pretty tough to find a fold there though. If he has AAAA then it's a world class value push.


I've been lucky so far in that I haven't been in any uncomfortably expensive pots pre flop. This is probably the worst do far:

Bad river call, btw. Certainly losing out to rake in the side pot, it's only a good call if there's a chance my low is good enough for the main pot. Four handed, I don't think it is... fold.


Dream scoop:

Nutters, both DRAWING to the high with no low on a made low board. Was slightly worried about it being three way as all I (thought I) had was a very outdrawable high. Turns out I was good for the low as well. Verylucky.


Unnecessary bluff, shouldn't be surprised by the call at these stakes:

Probably the most interesting hand:

I had to think for a while before folding. Put simply, a set on a drawwy board with a made low down is very dangerous. I was almost certain my high was good (unless he had something sick like 7724) and was equally certain he had the low so figured he was on a decent freeroll for the scoop. As most rivers are scare cards, out of position, I think it's got to be a fold. It's not as if I can call to see a safe river as anything other than an offsuit K or Q or a 3 gives me a big problem calling a likely pot bet on the river. He said he had the low and "a hearts flush draw and a straight draw" (as you can see in the chat of the aces bluff above). Whatever, just something to think about. I could actually write loads about what to do with the nuts (high and low) on various boards but can't really be bothered. Not really sure how much anyone cares about h/l anyway.


Speaking of sets on made low boards, I think he has to fold the flop:

Betting the low and a redraw for the high can go wrong here against two opponents (usually means you're heading for a quartering with another low vs either the high or a better draw for the high) so I was happy to get heads up on the turn. Sometimes the river will blank and you're frustrated when they quarter you with the same low and king high for the high but in this instance I thought I was freerolling for the scoop so happy blasting!

Is this a fold?

Weird to check/call the turn then blast a low river. Any sort of low, I call.


Only one more hand saved from the session, not very interesting but may as well include it:

Guess that's a fold...

Lots of tough decisions to make (especially now I'm playing every hand) in what I think is a very interesting game.
