Tuesday was up and down. I started by playing FR Omaha at 2nl just for the hell of it to see how it would go. It went poorly as I dropped my entire $3 in about an hour. The problem I see with Omaha is that you need to hit the nuts in order to make any money. It's nearly impossible to bluff anyone out of a pot, especially since it's Pot Limit. But that's ok. I'll chalk up that $3 to entertainment. I've kept it separate from my Hold-em totals.

After that, I played a little FR NLHE and again lost nearly my entire $3. Just not getting the cards and donking off my stack on bluffs. After that debacle, I went on to play another 180-man in which I had exactly one hand - 99 - the whole tournament. Of course I have to push with my last 1000 and get coolered by AA AND QQ. Just not my day.

After that, took a break and went back and played 6-max. Finally hit the jackpot! Sat down to the left of the big stack and then proceeded to take said stack from him. Here's the 3rd hand of the session.

I couldn't believe he called me with his Kings. Thank you for idiot players. Normally, I wouldn't call a bet with a gutshot, but I thought that I probably had at least 5 (discounting the Ah and Kh)outs after the Turn, and I was getting 7:1 to call. Not quite +EV, but for that little, I had to see the river and I'm glad I did.

A little later, there was this hand to finish him off.

It took me a little bit before I called. I thought he might be a little on tilt or was just looking to make a statement that hand. I thought that if he had AA or KK he's not pushing at this table, since there had been very few all-in pre-flop raises and I don't think there hand been many calls of those all-ins unless extremely short-stacked. Since I didn't put him on AA or KK, then I have to call. I'm ahead of everything else, although I'm 51-49 against A-K, which is what I put him on. Luckily, he had J-4 and I felted him. Later on two hands from the end, I had this hand.

After the turn I led out with a 4/5 the pot bet to get an idea of where I stood. The min raise didn't really concern me from this opponent. He had done that a lot and I didn't put him on a King. I thought it more likely either a 5 or flush draw. But because I wasn't sure, I just called.

The river I check to see what he would do. His small raise wasn't going to push me off the hand, but I wanted to keep the pot small to guard against the Kings. Yep, busted flush draw. They just can't help themselves. So I finish the session up $7.33, which means that I've covered all my losses from early in the day. Here are the totals.

Total BR: $328.00
NLHE Total: $31.12. - 60% of the way to my shot at 5nl!
