PL Omaha

I played a little pot limit Omaha on FT last night. It was a single table sit and go. I was doing pretty good for a while. Took down some good sized pots, and worked my way up to second in chips. I got in a little hand with the chip leader, and played it very cautiously. The board was pretty ragged. I was a little nervous that my two pair wouldn’t hold up, but they did.

I had two hands that I had the lead on, and then got nailed.

First one- four players left, and I am the chip leader. I am under the gun. I limp with 33jj double suited (spades and hearts). The small blind (the short stack) calls me. Here is the flop 2 c 3 d 9c. The small blind pushed right away for the rest of his stack. I call with my set of threes. I figured he was on the draw. I just needed him to miss. Well, I was right he played KcJc9h10h. His club hit on the river. Board obviously didn’t pair. I missed that one.

Second hand- I am under the gun again. I am holding 4c4d5c6d. A decent little hand. I limp, and so does everyone else. Flop come out 9 9 4 (don’t remember the suits…cause they didn’t matter). I just flopped the boat. It checks to me. I bet the pot. Two players fold, and the big blind calls. I know he has a 9. I just have to hope he doesn’t pair one of his other cards. If he had quads he would have pushed in with it. He didn’t have much. So the turn comes off- a 3. He checks. I put him all in. He thinks for a second and calls. His hand turns up, and it was nasty. He had a 9 10 3 6 rainbow! All I had to do was dodge one of those cards! Here comes the river- 10. Ouch. Now I am the short stack.

I ended up pushing the rest of it with QdQh9d10h. It didn’t hold. Some guy called me with rags and caught the wheel. I guess I can’t blame him though. He had a ton of chips. I didn’t have much at all.

I still need some work on my Omaha. I’m not all that good at it...yet.
