jojo9006: -- --
bones10: -- --
Grissom48: -- --
augzus: -- --
bender2004: 9h Jh(Suited 1 gapper. First off auguzs and jojo are maniacs. One went and called 2 raises with 4 spades on the board and didn't have a spade. Got beat by a flush. Hitting this hand against either one means a payoff)

forty9erPhil: -- --

Pre-flop:

Grissom48 folds. augzus calls. bender2004 calls.
forty9erPhil folds. jojo9006 raises to $.50.
bones10 calls. augzus calls. bender2004 calls.

Flop (board: 5h 6d 2h):(Heart draw and 2 overs. I think that hitting the heart is the only way I'll win.)

jojo9006 bets $.25. bones10 folds. augzus calls.
bender2004 calls. (Huge pot odds here. Folding would be retarded)

Turn (board: 5h 6d 2h 3c):

jojo9006 bets $.50. augzus raises to $1. (At this point I think augzus has a straight. He's got a 4 in his hand. I can call and if I hit this hand I'm money. Even though I'm a 4:1 dog. There is enough implied odds to make this call correct) bender2004
calls. jojo9006 calls.

River (board: 5h 6d 2h 3c Kh):(Jackpot. And it's a high heart which eliminates some fear of losing to a bigger flush)

jojo9006 checks. augzus bets $.50. bender2004
raises to $1.(This is kinda obvious) jojo9006 folds. augzus re-raises to
$1.50.(idiot. I would just crying call here. No way you raise) bender2004 re-raises to $2. augzus calls.




Showdown:

bender2004 shows 9h Jh.
bender2004 has 9h Jh 5h 2h Kh: flush, king high.
augzus shows 4s 2d.
augzus has 4s 2d 5h 6d 3c: straight, six high.


Some luck, some skill, but in the end to the two maniacs. Pay up Bitches!!!!!

Good Games

Last few days I've been playing a bunch of Omaha 8/b on Full Tilt and UB. I've been lucky enough to find good games. Up until that 3rd my omaha game had been subpar. Thursday I cashed for the first time in a month(Though I really felt I had one hand on the trophy). Since I've played very well. Stayed pretty much away from Holdem save a couple $1 SNG's I play at the end of a session to kill time. The competiton is so soft though. Easy 2 wins. Thursday I walked away 25 Winner, Friday 10 winner, and Saturday 20 winner. In the homegame I ended up Chopping the $2 game and leaving 4 winner. I've come to the conclusion that UB has a lot easier competion in Omaha 8/b. Like 3 people who made the final table Thursday with me made it Friday. They must be the only decent players in the game. I'm gonna have to take another crack at it. I'm pretty sure that if you give me 10 shots. I'll cash 1/2 the time and win once. Full Tilt I played Rawl and Katokat .50/1 and only won 3. UB I played some chump and took 10. Played .25/.50 limit. Prolly stick to Razz on FTP and play my Omaha 8/b on UB. It's easier to win. Later.
