BTW Kutuz, was that you in the #1 seat? It was either you or the guy who replaced you yesterday, I couldn't quite remember.

It was probably the other guy. He is not from 2+2. He says he finished 21st in Raymer's WSOP (he looked familiar), and that it was his first week playing PLO, and it was his new favorite game. I thought he played pretty well, aside from beating my QQ with his AQJT on AQx board for $500 [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] .
I'm now back home (going back to LV for the Main Event in 3 weeks, yippee more live PLO). That last night I tried to get on the 2-5 and 5-10 lists around 12:30am, but neither was moving, so I decided to just gamble away my last cash (I allocated $1800) at 25-25 instead. It turned out to also have a $50 rock, so it was a rare pot that had less than $600 in it preflop. About 3 hands in I had QQ and flop came QTT. I let a guy catch a smaller FH and was up to $3500. The play was loose and pretty wild. There was a dude who refused to let go of his top pairs with multiple overkickers (you know, suspecting the others of having top 2, etc), something which I have never seen online. All hands I showed were the nuts or close to it, so I got away with a few bluffs here and there. There was an interesting hand where I had KdQhJh4d, about $350 in the pot preflop, flop came AhTd3h, a bet of $250 to me, I make it 1K to go, get called. Small diamond turns, the guy pushes for about $1200 more, and I call with the inside wrap and two 2nd-nut flush draws. We ran it twice and I lost both, as he had AdQd or something [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I originally planned to leave around 2:30am, but ended up staying until 4am, when it became shorthanded and I left up 2K or so. Had a blast playing.
Why was gank slumming at 2-5PLO one of the nights? I thought he played higher.
PS. Thanks to the "POTPOTPOT" poster for blowing up the thread.
