World famous NYC 10/20 with half kill. This is not a kill pot

I open AJo in mp, mp cold calls, button is stuck a lot and 3-bets leaving herself 30 dollars left. 3-ways.

Comes T33r, I bet hoping to clear up the pot and get it headsup, mp calls, button raises, i call and mp calls.

Turn 3 I bet mp finally folds, button tosses in her last red chip.

I say "you got a pair you win?" "of course I have a pair" and she turns over 88.

River T and I muck saying nice hand.

UNTIL I look closer and say oh crap. The dealer proceeds to turn my hand over and I congenially muck. Meanwhile Mp starts his mouth "If you had just checked the turn like a sane person we could've chopped this pot 3-ways, I'm not stupid enough to miss something like that."

I'm happy button won the hand, she's my boss.

Mp is her husband ha.

I don't understand, bet/calling is the worst option for trying to get it HU. check raising and bet/3betting would have both been better.

There is like a right of passage where the guy who has been playing at that level and has more comfort there tends to get possession of the luckbox.

Someone please tell me what level this is for me so I can play it. So far all I know is that it's not between 20/40 and 100/200. Does this mean I need to play 15/30 or 150/300?

The flop wasn't capped. Sigh.

That's exactly was I thought when he flipped over his hand when he tilt-mucked face up.

I forgot about this hand until just now and as simple as it seems, it is actually quite momentous, going down in history as the first time I can remember folding a pair against Roc.

3-4 handed 75 (although it is actually 25 with 3/5 blinds) with Roc as SB and a tightpassive and predictable guy in BB (in other words my most favorite kind of person to have in the big blind). I raise button with 9d5d, Roc 3bets, I call.

Flop AT9 with a flush draw
He bets I call

Turn K
He bets, I think a while and somehow fold, quite surprised at myself

You folded a pair and a flush draw? Did something take over your betting hand?

No a flush draw was possible, I didn't have it.

I'm finding the replies to my 2 hands quite interesting, because I am pretty sure that the 33 hand was absolutely butchered and the T9 hand was absolutely perfect but everyone is replying the exact opposite. I also happened to win the 33 hand and lose the T9 hand.

Another session of 75/150 Omaha Hi/Holdem I just got back from. I did what I always do and start off big winner. Then I did what I always do after that and lose it all. Mike made an incredible comeback from stuck almost 5 racks to 1 rack winner by crippling my solid win and then mangling Hogan. I still ended up winning an embarassingly small amount.

I didn't want to post any specific hands but Crazy Mike demanded I post this one so here it is. An oldie but a goodie, my favorite 1 pair vs flopped flush matchup.

So 5 handed Hogan limps UTG, Mike completes sb, I check 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in BB

Flop T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Mike bets, I raise, Hogan coldcalls, Mike 3bets, I 4bet, Hogan folds, Mike 5 bets.

Turn 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Mike bets, I raise, he calls

River: 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
He checks, I bet, he looks at his cards really weirdly before raising. This might be a fold against him but the pot is humongous and he knows I am capable of folding a flush although it is very unlikely so I had to call. Of course I see red 89.

I'm sure everyone is very tired of reading my complaining. I'm also very tired of complaining. The solution is quite simple but I seem completely incapable of winning any significant amount ever again.
