We are down to 160 and come over the 35 raise of the pro, to 125 total with TT98 one suit.

Guy in LP shoves for about 400 total, pro calls, we put our ladt 35 in but are in bad shape and don't improve

 

[Anthony Martino]

We rebuy for $500 and limp button after multiple limpers holding since the rock in the SB is unlikely to take the option to raise

Flop

Guy UTG bets 60, we call, both blinds call. Turn

They all check to me, I pot for 310 having seen a safe turn, they all fold

No high hand?

No high hand?

In PLO we have to flop it. Plus only the 2/2 has a rake plus jackpot drop. 5/5 and above is time rake, so not high hand eligible

Rock is CO, we limp button with

Multiple limpers, flop



Checked around. Turn

Checked to CO who bets 60. With such a draw heavy board we just call. SB loose cannon checkraises to 300. CO thinks awhile and folds, we rip for 775 total, SB calls and only runs once

River

He announces "you're good" and we double up

 

[Anthony Martino]

We get stuck calling $100 raises pre multiway two hands in a row but whiff both flops

Welcome back to the good times!

I infrequently play Omaha.... there surely must be some sort of meditative secret to handling the swings.... just flopped the Broadway straight w/nut flush redraw, got it all in on the flop, and of course the river pairs the board. I feel like I either want to burn the place down, rebuy and go all in blind, or drown my totally banal bad beat story in a bottle of bourbon........rant over.

Just wait until you get it in against the guy with one out, one card to come, who only runs once, then you shall know true pain

FYP

Nah, that guy got me with 2.5% and 4% equity and is Asian. He disappeared after losing 6k at Luckys one day, haven't seen him since

 

[Chippy McChiperson]

Just wait until you get it in with ttxx vs t7xx on a t7x board and it comes running 7s

+$700 on the night, we'll take it!

I know you are not used to being on this end of things so I found you an instructional video to watch.

New 2/2 table called as I arrived

 

[Anthony Martino]

First hand of note we have KJT6 on a J54 rainbow board in a pot raised by an active short stack

He pots when checked to for half his chips, we rip it and go twice. He has AA97 so we aren't in terrible shape

We make 2 pair on 2nd board but it gives him broadway so we double up his 200 stack

 

[Anthony Martino]

We limp and see a flop of

Guy I haven't played with but seems to play too many hands bets 20, we call, short stacked lady calls

Turn

We all check

River

Guy bets 25, we call, he has Q6xx and we win

 

[Anthony Martino]

Guy at my table flops quad 5's and on the river three players go all-in

Another flopped 10's full and other guy nut flush

Quad 5's is high hand for $750 with 10 minutes on the clock. He sells it to a guy for $250

Three minutes later quad 6's are hit at another table

So guy not only gets massive action with quads but makes an extra $250 on a high hand that gets beat

 

[Anthony Martino]

We get called for 5/5/10 so move over there
