It's time for the Daily F**king Poker Blog.
Today's tournament of choice was the Omaha Hi Lo.
As luck would have it I got tabled with a kennel of mutts. I just hate that because with multiple mutts you have to pay 4 times the normal price to see a flop not to mention the remainder of the bets. So I had to be selective whilst waiting for the dominant mutt to run off all of the submissive mutts. Finally that happened and the price to see a flop was now a "bargain" at only twice the price. Then about 30 minutes in, the table broke up which I was glad to see because I was sick of that f**king mutt. Then, when I got to my new table, who should also be there but the same f**king mutt!
But slowly the tide turned and once I got the upper hand, i.e., more chips, I started punishing the mutt like the step-mutt he was. And soon he was off to mutt-land (probably to enter another tournament to practice his Muttley ways.) At any rate, as much as I dislike playing with mutts, if/when you survive them you usually have a very healthy stack and sure enough, at the break, I was in 11th place out of over 200 peeps.
But after the break, it was a struggle for me. I got hurt on one hand where I made a straight on the river when there was a board pair. I was last to act and it checked to me, so I bet thinking my straight was good. I was lucky not to get raised by the dude who had checked an "under" boat (his set was lower in rank than the board pair).
I treaded water for awhile but as the field narrowed, I was starting to drown slowly. Finally, I play a hand where I've got 2 clubs and a K. The flop has a K with one club, so not looking good for a club flush, but at least I had top pair. I was whining to myself about why couldn't that flopped K be the K of clubs, but it wasn't so I was preparing to fold when it checked around. The next card was the K of clubs! So now I had a set and a club flush draw. That was enough for me to bet which I did. All but one guy folded, the guy with the big stack. The river missed my boat, but it was a club giving me a flush. So I bet again which put me all in. The f**ker with the big stack was holding clubs too and overflushed me! Dammit!!!! And my set of K's would have been good if the flush hadn't made.
Final tally: 47th place out of 860 peeps.
