[Anthony Martino]

Limp UTG with

Somehow NOBODY raises or straddles this hand, despite having gone nuts prior hands

We go 6 ways to a flop of



BINGO BANGO BONGO VINCE!

Checked to me, I pot, only an elderly guy calls

Turn

I pot again, he calls again

River

I pot for $225 and he calls with King high hearts

 

[Anthony Martino]

I like how this looks better

 

[grebe]

I hadn't made my hand yet, and the flush is a backdoor draw that I'm not overly concerned with since this guy was bombing the flop

Plus, I don't pick and choose, I always go twice

Sorry, I thought you got it in on the turn. Also, good reasoning on the always go x.

And now I know... BATTLE
2

I did get it in on the turn, but the turn is when the 2nd diamond showed up

My opponent was betting the flop, so don't need to give him credit for a flush draw here (he didn't have it either)

 

[grebe]

that was supposed to read battle divided by 2...i.e. half the battle...i.e GI Joe. I failed. I also should have run that twice.

Can you see over that wall? Or do they give you a booster seat?

Legit have a girl next to me that SAYS L-O-L instead of laughing

I've heard "L-O-L" and I've also heard people pronounce it like a word: "lol."

For a while it was cool to riff on that: lolz, lollers, etc. Thankfully that died out.

Sure, Anthony is an asshole, but he's our asshole!

There it is. You try to be creative, when it's just easier to google something that creative people already created.

Lesson Learned. (Insert polar express gif here)

Final hand of my session I limp UTG, guy on my left pots it, gets 2-3 callers, I spring the trap and repot, he repots all-in, we get it heads-up and go twice. I flop better on the first board, he flops better on the 2nd board, but they both run out safe and we just chop up everyone elses money.

My high point on the session I was up about $700, but managed to give some back. Still cashed out +$400 so a decent day. Currently on 4 winning sessions in a row, so feels good to be swinging back in the right direction

Andrew has a new VLOG up, great to see PLO getting more attention. Plus, hopefully we'll see more people overvalueing hands like QQ63 ds

Not only playing QQ63ds, but having just no fear on that board.

 

[Anthony Martino]

In for $200

Called a minraise to $10 from BB with

Multiway to a flop of



I pot to $55 and get two callers

Turn

I shove and they both call. We go twice and I hold on both boards (one guy had set of 7's, other had diamond draw)

 

[Anthony Martino]

Call a $10 straddle with and multiway to a flop I smash

Guy in the blinds pots it, limper calls, I repot, guy in blinds repots, limper folds

We go twice and he binks a black 5 on the 2nd river to escape the trap

 

[MikesDad]

I can see why PLO is not my game... I never thought of top 2 pair and bad flush draw as "smashing" the flop

Against this lineup it crushes them

If we were deeper stacked it's different. But the short buyins keep their ranges wide

Wheee

Dennis our PLO game is full of nut peddlers not the mouth breathers @Anthony Martino gets to play against. We have a much tougher lineup so mostly trade $ reciprocally unless a porter promo is running.

You forgot the backdoor flush draw. Have to play all the outs.

disregard. I thought the 7 was a spade not a club. Need one of those big new phones.

Thank God. The ease of which you are willing to strip to make up for your losses has all of America scared and hiding small children so they can't see it.
