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 )
Seat 9: Seat9 ( $ 8.47 USD )
hero: posts small blind [$ 0.05 USD]
Seat9: posts big blind [$ 0.10 USD]
** Dealing down cards **

Seat9 calls [$ 0.60 USD]
** Dealing Turn ** [ 7♠ ]
hero: bets [$ 1.54 USD]
Seat9 calls [$ 1.54 USD]
** Dealing River ** [ 4♠ ]
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.

hero wins high $ 5.50 USD from main pot with two pairs, aces and eights [ Ac, As, Kc, 8d, 8h ]

Actually played this hand well I thought and got someone to pay me off with just top pair.

Table Washburn 1
Seat 9 is the button
Total number of players: 4
Seat 1: Seat1 ( $ 10 USD )
Seat 4: hero ( $ 5.71 USD )
Seat 8: Newdonk ( $ 8.85 USD )

hero checks
Newdonk: bets [$ 1.40 USD]
hero raises [$ 4.80 USD]
Newdonk calls [$ 3.40 USD]
** Dealing River ** [ 9♥ ]

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.

Righting the Ship

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...

Update

Didn't realize it had been almost 2 months since I last updated this. So yeah, really just haven't been playing at all. A few weeks ago I was available to log in and play a nightly LOLmaha but the site couldn't connect. Didn't think much of it, said "oh well" and did something else. But when I couldn't log in again or get on the actual website itself then I started to think something was up in the poker room. Looked on twoplustwo to see if there were any posts about it, and someone wrote that the management on another forum referred to the players as "FREE ROLLING SCUM". LOL. Can't find that post anywhere on the online internet though and too bad because that would be a fun thread to read I'm sure. 🍿🍿🍿. I can't really blame them for that sentiment though because the only time the site had any type of traffic was during the Sunday night freeroll. Then of course there were other players like me on there that were pretty much ...

Fantasy Football Spreadsheet

A few days ago I was looking online for a point calculator for fantasy football (too cheap to spend the $10 on StatTracker). Something where I can enter the players stats and calculate the total points. Unable to find one, I made it myself, in excel. I figure it might be useful to someone who happens to come across this post, so here's the link to it. It uses the default yahoo league configurations, so if your league is different you'll have to go and change some of the numbers in the formulas, or positions, or whatever. Otherwise you put the stats in the left hand column, and the points will appear on the right. I made it so there are no partial points, and so it rounds down. For example, if your QB has 249 passing yards, you will get exactly 9 points, not 10, not 9.9. The only points it does not calculate is points allowed for team defenses. You will have to manually enter it on the right hand column yourself. I have provided the guide for yahoo leagues. So there you have i...
