So much for lower variance

In PLO8.

Finally found an active table where they were spreading it and this shit happens.

Seat 1 is the button
Total number of players: 3
Seat 1: Seat1 ( $ 11.70 USD )
Seat 4: hero ( $ 2.44 USD )

And of course he has A♣4♣4♥7♦

Yeah so I was getting freerolled for low there on the turn but I figured my AA was still good for high and I was right. I figured he was probably going for low only, he did have a club draw too but don’t see how I can check/fold on the turn. Of course hits the 4 on the river.

Table Washburn 1

He has [Q♥9♠4♠3♣] and fucking quarters me. Come on with this bullshit. Maybe my turn raise all-in was a little ambitious but I am holding the nut low and this guy came to the table and starting raising right away. So not giving him credit here for a strong holding.

This is what I was up against. I knew when donktard came over the top of me he could have all sorts of crap and so could the other guy just flat calling. Sure, I was steaming a bit but I figured this hand was good enough to go in with against 2 sort of random hands. As you can tell I got no help from the board and I lose two buy-ins. Ran it on cardplayer but these were the two hands I was up against.


So lost $8, got $3 of it back today playing $.05/$.10 NLHE, but I was a tough table and I was fortunate to have AA when another player had KK. We got it in preflop and it held up. Got the hell out of there shortly after as my limited bankroll cannot take me being at a decision for my stack almost every time I enter the fucking pot.

Should really just stick to tournaments on here until I can get like $40 or $50. Did play the GPP tonight and did take the add-on. Got in a limped pot OTB with A♦9♦ and 4 people end up seeing the flop. SB leads out for a pot-sized bet on a 9 4 3 two ♠ flop, BB folds, HJ calls, and I shove for my final 4700 total. I knew I had the best hand. BB shoves on top (has like 6k left) and HJ calls (who has us both covered). 9♣7♣ from the SB and HJ has 5♦6♣. Turn was a brickoff but the river came 7 to give HJ his straight. Would have been in a commanding chip position with a triple up there against 2 players who had no business being in the pot. At least the asshole who thought top pair with a 7 kicker was good after my flop shove went out too.

Had another bad session yesterday. Actually I didn't play badly at all, I just took two horrible beats. I was taking a shot at NL $50 too. Lost to JJ twice. One hand I had 55 in a raised pot, I called from the BB, and flopped a set (9-6-5 flop I believe). Anyway, get it in with a half stack, he has JJ, river J. Great. Another hand I have KK and resolve to play a big pot with it. I raise to $3, SB calls. Flop comes 9 high, he checks, I bet pot, he calls. Turn is a blank, same action. River is a jack, he shoves for the remaining PSB, I call. He has JJ, sigh. Really wish I didn't keep getting two outed. So tonight I decide to take a shot at $100 NL (6-max of course) after the Red Sox beat the Rockies 2-1 due to great pitching to take a 2-0 lead in the series. I sit in with $100, leaving me a measly $5.12 if I lose it. But I resolved to try and get up $45 and then leave. If I go broke I take a break or redeposit or whatever. Sick and tired of grinding it out at NL $25 just to get t

Alright so I haven't updated in a while, also haven't been playing either. Recently Full Tilt offered me a $50 bonus without having to make a deposit so I've been playing a little bit. Probably only going to clear $10 of the bonus, really just can't get into playing much anymore with work and other stuff like bowling, which I've really gotten into over the past 4 months occupying my time. Anyway, tonight I sat down at a $100 PLO8 table. Morris Chestnut was at the table and I wa able to jump in and be top on the waiting list because it's PLO8. After about 10 minutes I got in. It was a pretty boring game, not much action, most of the table was playing tight. I thought there would be more action with a red pro being at the table and was hoping to see some hold'em donks occupying some seats at this table. I was up a few dollars when this hand took place.

Took the afternoon off Friday and headed to Foxwoods. Got to the poker room at around 2 and I was looking to play 4/8 Omaha8. However, the list was about 8 people long, and the person at the desk said that there was an interest list going for 1/2 Pot-Limit O8. It was open seating at that point, so I joined in and soon we had a full table of 10 people and the game got going. Early on I made a pretty bad blunder with a strong hand. I had A Q 4 2 on the button and called a $6 raise. One of the blinds also called and the flop came with 2 clubs and 2 low cards, giving me a Q-high flush draw and the nut low draw. I called a $12 bet from the preflop raiser, the other player folded and we were heads up. The turn was the 5 , completing both of my draws. The PFR checked and I checked behind (I know, terrible). The river was th e , 5 putting a possible full house on board. He checked again and I not only check behind but I turn my hand face up instead of letting my opponent reveal his cards. My
