Short Stack NL
I was bonus clearing on party this weekend. The Omaha8b games have become idiotically passive, and I was running really badly. (not sure the .5/1 is even beatable with the terrible rake structure and small pots) I played up to 2/4, but the games were boring the hell out of me, and I was bleeding like crazy. I decided I need to change up my games.
PLO, yeah havent played that for a while. about five hands in I limp with 7789 with some suits working. Some guy pots it, I call because it isn't much. flop is 456 rainbow. YEAH! I check-raise and we get all-in. Fucker hat potted it with 7 8 9 5 and we split the pot sans rake.
Couple hands later, I get A886 in the blinds, flop is A82. Donk1 min bets, donk2 pots, I max bet it which is about 2x the size of the pot now. Donk1 calls this massive bat Donk2 folds.
Turn is a 7 for a board of A872. I push all in, Donk1 calls.
the river is 6 he takes the pot and show 6543
At the same time I lot a big pot in PLH AT vs KT no a T high flop with a K on the river.
Screw this.
I move to NLH and buy in for 20bb.
Thing go horribly at first AK falls to A2 Getting three outted like crazy.
I quit but come back after a cool off.
Things start to hit. People are calling all in with QJ vs my QQ, TT vs my JJ. Gaining some confidence and the possibility of finishing the bonus up a little, I move to $50NL.
The best hand there, I have AK in the blnids, a couple of limpers, one guy raises to 2.50, on calls, I push in. The raiser and caller call.
Flop is KQ5 two clubs. Raiser checks, caller puts $5 into a $26 pot with no side pot. Raiser folds (mid pocket pair?) the turn and the river come in a flurry, and I take the pot and the other jackass shows Q2o.
I think I like this game.
