Some On-Line Play

I have been sick for about a week straight now. Man, it sucks. I really haven’t been pumped up about playing on-line, but I have been so freakin’ board I did anyway. I played a little PL Omaha earlier this week. I pretty much just broke even. Played a NLH sit and go and took third. I lost a race AQ vs JJ. Nothing too eventful.

So today, everyone in the house was taking a nap. I decided to see what was going on Full Tilt. I signed in and saw a buddy playing a Omaha Hi/Low tourney. It was a satellite into some other big event. I just watched a couple of hands, but it gave me the itch to play some O8ob. So I signed in to the next satellite (just as I was signing in my buddy took his down…nice job man!).

Play was absolutely insane early. Remember, this is a split pot game…I limp in with a decent little hand, but by the time the action got back around to me the betting had been capped with 4 people in the hand!! What idiots. I just took my time , waited for some solid hands, and chose my spots wisely.

Soon enough it is down to 5 players…with one maniac left. This guy is a total donkey. He came into a hand, for a pre-flop raise of course, with a 6A66. He goes runner runner for trip aces, and his opponent had missed his straight flush draw (there was no low). He scoops…that’s just sick. I ended up sending him to the rail though. I hit a flush with a 8543A low.

Once it got down 3 handed. I took down some monsters. I had AsKs2dKd and scooped a huge one to take a big lead. Actually I let the two shorter stacks take each other out and I still had my heads up opponent by 1.5 to one. I ended up going on to take the sit and go down. Sweet! Now my buddy and I are going to have to see who lasts longer in the next tourney!

After Full Tilt I went over to Ultimate Bet. I just played in one low limit sit and go. It was a decent showing. I took third, and got a little more than my buy in back. The thing that ticked me off was getting knocked out. It was a battle of the blinds (I was out-chipped by maybe a blind). Here is the hand: a little background first…I was BB. The SB had been pushing his stack around everywhere. So I knew if I picked up a good hand I could pop him good. So back to the hand (3 handed)-

The button folds. SB calls. I have A 10. I check. Knowing that I have the best hand, but trying to trap him. The Flop:

4 10 4

He checks to me. I bet out a little more than half the pot. He immediately pushes all in. I KNOW I have him dominated. He was just trying to push me around. I call. He turns over 55. I am loving it. This guy had been playing crazy all tournament, and I LOVE to bust idiot players. I have him drawing to 2 outs.

The turn: 7

The river: 5

This moron just hit one of his 2 outs, and I finish in 3rd. I hate it…but I would take the same situation again and again…I’m taking it down 95% of the time. Two hands later the tourney is over…when the super donk re-raises and then calls his opponents all in.

The donk: Ac2s
Opponent: Ad9d

Yea…the donk hits a 2 and the other guy misses his 9.

One thing I just realized...the tourney that my buddy and I satellited into is Tuesday night...I guess we will be bringing our laptops to our usuall Tuesday night game. It should be interesting- playing NLH live and O8ob on-line at the same time! We'll see how it goes!
