More Omaha Fun
Had some more Omaha8 fun tonight, but before that fired up a couple tables of $25NL and ran like a bucket of shit. Got dealt tons of over pairs and lost almost every time. One hand I had JJ, raised to $.85 UTG, SB called. Flop came 2-3-6 and I led for $1.50. He shoves for about $12 total and I said to myself "fuck this asshole" as I instacalled. Turn came A (beautiful), river was a brick, and he turns over 62. Great. Another hand I had QQ, UTG raised to $1, I flat called in position, all else fold. Flop comes T-8-2 twotone or something like that. He led for $1, I figured of course he was weak so raised him right there to $4. He thinks and calls, and of course I tell myself he has JJ and nothing else. Turn is a blank, he checks, I bet $7, and he checkraises to $20. I still convince myself he has JJ and refuse to fold. So I put it all-in with him, river comes a K, and he shows AA. Should've checked back the turn but really didn't think he'd checkraise with one fucking pair. He'd either fold to another barrel or call down. I probably would've taken the free showdown too.
Now onto the Omaha stuff. Played two tables and here's some hands.

Pre-flop:
T7778 raises to $.85. mirage042405 calls.
Hero calls. Eazybeev folds. turokrem folds.
Call this raise from a maniac (the very last hand he raised KQJT). I figure I have some implied odds to hit something.
Flop (board: 3 2 8):
T7778 bets $2.90. mirage042405 calls. Hero
calls.
I overcall with the nut low. I assume there's a good chance I'm the only one with A4.
Turn (board: 3 2 8 4):
T7778 bets $11.60. mirage042405 calls. Hero
folds.
Get counterfeited and I highly doubt my fours up are any good.
River (board: 3 2 8 4 5):
T7778 goes all-in for $12.71. mirage042405 calls.
Showdown:
T7778 shows 5s 2s 3s Ad.

People leave and I end up playing heads up with the other villain in this hand, who had also shown himself to be a maniac.

Hero: K
47A
Pre-flop:
Hero calls. mirage042405 checks.
Maybe could raise this but I figure he's probably going to raise a lot of pots and I'd just try and play flops with him.
Flop (board: T65):
mirage042405 checks. Hero bets $.50.
mirage042405 calls.
Got an OESD and low draw which would be weak at a full table but are probably good here, so I take a stab on the flop.
Turn (board: T653):
mirage042405 bets $.40. Hero raises to $2.70.
mirage042405 calls.
I get make both my straight and low on the turn, so I raise his weak-lead.
River (board: T653J):
mirage042405 checks. Hero bets $6.90.
mirage042405 folds. Hero is returned $6.90
(uncalled).
I pot it, but do not get a call. My guess is he had an OESD or wrap draw.

Hero: A 2 JJ
Pre-flop:
Hero raises to $.75. mirage042405 re-raises to
$2.25. Hero calls.
Now I do raise and get reraised. Really don't like playing in reraised pots but I have too good of a hand to not put in the extra $1.50 and see a flop.
Flop (board: 549):
mirage042405 bets $4.50. Hero goes all-in for
$16.79. mirage042405 calls.
I figure it's push or fold at this point, so with my nut lo draw and overpair, overcard, and backdoor flush draw I move in and hope for the best. I get called of course.
Turn (board: 549A):
(no action in this round)
River (board: 549A5):

Showdown:

Hand #49037075-3833 Summary:
$1 is raked from a pot of $38.08.
Hero wins $37.08 with flush, ace high.
He had kings to my jacks, but according to twodimes I had 56-44% equity when the money went in. End up scooping the most unlikely way, by backdooring a flush and bricking my lo, even though the A on the turn was all I needed.
Left after that hand, felt kinda bad but you gotta do what you gotta do. Really didn't want to race against him all night.
After that things started to go well at the other table too.

Flop (board: 34T):

calls. Hero raises to $1.50. kestrelkid
calls. Wolf Creek calls. Evgeny calls.
I make a play here with an OESD/weak low and the second nut flush draw. Figured with my position it might at least get me a free turn. Thought I might get some folds as well but the guy right behind me INSTACALLS the $1.50. Good play?
Turn (board: 34TA):
kestrelkid checks. Wolf Creek checks. Evgeny
checks. Hero bets $7. kestrelkid calls.
Wolf Creek folds. Evgeny folds.
BINGO BANGO BONGO! Best card in the deck gives me the nuts for hi and lo. I of course bet pot and get one caller.

I read something somewhere about not wanting to raise in EP because it chases away some of the weaker hands you want in there (such as A3), but I can't imagine that applying in this game. If there were maniacs at the table I might have gone for the limp-reraise however.
Flop (board: 44J):
Evgeny checks. Hero bets $2.80. kestrelkid
folds. Evgeny folds. Hero is returned $2.80
(uncalled).
Not the best flop, but I look at the remaining stack sizes. One player has $.40 left and the other has $3.45. With an overpair and a flush draw (albeit on a paired board), I don't mind getting it in with that guy for just over a pot sized bet. They both missed however and threw their hands away.
