This is how I roll.

Bodog PLO8 ($2/$4) (9 handed)

Villain has $150, I have him covered (as well as the third player, who folds the flop).

Dealt to tragic hero: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

UTG folds. UTG+1 calls. 2 folds to me. I raise the pot. Folds to CO, who calls, folds to UTG+1 who calls. Pot is somewhere around $48.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] j[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

UTG+1 checks. I check anticipating a bet from villain. Villain bets $25. UTG+1 calls. I c/r to put villain (and UTG+1) all in. He calls, UTG+1 folds.

Villain shows 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I am 80-20 and start dialing travel agency, to book a two week trip to Italy for my wife. WITHOUT ME.

I say nighty night and resign myself to two additional weeks of tuna casserole.

Group hug?

I looked up my tourney stats on that site and cried.

Here is the status of my quest to turn $.78 in to a small O/8 bankroll on Stars. I think I am running really good.

[Murakawa]

My AA23s got cracked TWICE today when I flopped A set of aces and the nut low Twice! No quartering, just flat out someone called with 45jTo before the flop and on the flop against a pot sized raise both times and hit his OUT card when I didn't hit any more of mine. I'm not having a good march

Hi, My name is Frank, and I'm still a Moran.

I knew the player in question was limping some atrocious hands, but I misjudged the level of atrocity. The 2nd nut low draw kept me around, but I put Villain on A25 and felt I had the better boat. D'oh.

I checked the leader board for the 9:30 tourney an hour later, and curiously enough, Villain didn't work any magic with my chips, but instead got knocked out. Go figure.

Welcome to the world of "low variance" O8. BTW I think the only people having a good march are the fish, which is +EV longterm.

My grammar sucks after a 12 of Sam Adams and the remainder of my tequila, however you spell it. That sounds gross even now...

[censored] you exams. It's time to gamble
