Played Omaha today. It went as it always does, terrible. I feel like I should be crushing these guys because they keep putting their money in so bad and letting me jam them when my equity is fantastic. Maybe I play too nitty preflop, maybe I'm not as good postflop as I think I am, maybe I run bad. I honestly don't know, but I still think I should be winning in these games at least a little. Here was my favorite hand with the standard uncounterfeitable nut low draw, overcards on the flop and broadway gutshot on the turn with nut flush draw against no pair almost no draw and bare nut low draw. I'm like -1100 in 10 and 15 Omaha between yesterday and today. It's not a ton of bets but I just don't understand how I never scoop a big pot.

Also, I'm bored of my crappy old phone so what should I get to replace it? I really like playing with Crazy Mike's iPhone so I think I need something with interwebs+qwerty keyboard. I have Verizon so the obvious answer of "get an iPhone" doesn't work. I live in the stone age so I assume all phones are capable of texting these days? Being able to put music on it isn't really important but it couldn't hurt. I don't really know what phones cost so I'm wanting to spend less than 1k and preferably less than 500.
