Yeah I flopped 3 sets and turned 1. Mine ended a bit differently though.

I've been put on tilt by an observed hand. Winner is a tight player who is apparently a moron because he tried to make the guy that is playing every hand and drawing 4 usually to break a made hand. Why can't I get rewarded for completely butchering a hand for max bets on a big bet street? Perhaps my mistake is to never intentionally play a hand so horribly.

Triple Draw 2-7 Lowball Limit ($30/$60) (.com/greenage22/Triple_Draw/Converter.html]converter)

SB ($2729.50), Seat 3
BB ($1615), Seat 4
UTG ($1423), Seat 5
MP ($1869.50), Seat 6
CO ($2111), Seat 1
Button ($3578), Seat 2

Button at Seat 2.
SB posts $15. BB posts $30.

Round 1: (1.50 SB)

*edit*

So brutal, fish got felted before I got a seat. He was 100% vpip from the hands I watched, drawing 3-4 typically and showing down some impressive ones. I stayed up just to take his money and never even got a chance. This wasn't like one of those things where you miss a good game and you get along just fine. This was an old fashioned money incineration job and I couldn't get close enough to grab any of the loose bills as they fell into the furnace. Worse beat I've taken in a while.

The rake effect is too big to overcome and not worth the variance assuming your neighbors aren't anything special.

In 20/40, perhaps.

In 40/80+, ya think? Average heads-up pot is $250+, you don't think you can extract a 2% edge from average opponents?

[/ QUOTE ]

I assume by the $250/2% comment that the rake is $5? If so 1bb is being raked every 16 hands, so you'd need to be at about 6bb/100 to break even. Real tough considering 1/2 your hands will be OOP.

Forgot about this great hand from the 75/150 game. New guy has joined us in the morning and played a few hands, unremarkable so far, I get the "tight old nit" vibe from him though. I raise JTo in CO, he 3 bets in the SB, I call.

Flop is J97 two diamonds (I have ten of diamonds) he bets, I raise, he 3 bets. At this point I ask him "I've never played with you before, would you say you're a tight player?" and he confidently responds "you can't play too tight in a 4 handed game" which is an excellent answer. So I call his 3 bet.

Turn is a 3 of diamonds so now I feel like I have some hope, he bets, I call.

River is a Ten and he checks, so I value bet my top two pair and he calls and I show very confidently and he shows me a set of 3s. Yeah I guess he wasn't that tight after all. He makes a dumb comment to the guy next to him that he "continuation bet the flop to see where I was at" which makes no sense because he bet/3 bet the flop but whatever, nice hand.

He later steamed off like two racks to me and I two-outered him multiple times.

That guy thinks he knows how to play but is quite awful. He comes in a lot in the morning and he generally leaves a few hours later with very few dollars. On the Barry Greenstein steam scale he probably gets like a -4.

cp 30-60 last night, i 4 bet red AK on the turn and fired brick river with 4 clubs on board...
(villain bet/3-bet the turn and just called down the 4th and c/c the river, and said 'got straightflush?'...)
somehow his nut flush is good and my mega tilt bluff didnt work out...
i will save everyone the in depth rationale behind it, having played with given villain it seemed unlikely he limped an ace utg - apparently not...
the histerical laughter that followed was not quite worth the $300 i tilted off, but thought a few here could appreciate it also...

Borgata 20-40. Having a good day, but in the last 2 hrs guy across the table has beaten me in 3 hands where i opened and hit TPTK, an overpair, or top two. I start to notice his obsession with beating me and say something to him about it.

Next hand, i pick up KK in MP, he calls me from the SB and hits the J6 flush on the river for win #4. Now I'm feeling like the bad guys in High Plains Drifter; wondering who he is and why is he out to get me. So I ask, and he says that I beat him up bad a month ago.

Next orbit, I pick up JJ and he calls again from the SB. Flop is T74 rainbow. He checks, I bet, he calls. Turn 5. He checks, I bet, he calls. River 6, he checks, I bet, he calls and then says "Six" and turns over As6s. I turn over my jacks and sit back in my chair. Another player notices that his 6 is actually an 8. Don't think he would have called the turn with A8. Guy beats me BECAUSE he misread his hand.

This one was really awesome because Crazy Mike never folds anything ever but it's the second big laydown he's made in Omaha Hi that borders on retarded.

4 handed game, Maria limps in CO, Mike complete small blind, I raise A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in BB and both call.

Flop J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Mike checks, I bet, Maria raises, Mike coldcalls, I 3bet, both call.

Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Mike checks, I bet both call

River: K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Mike checks, I bet but regret it before Maria has a chance to call, Mike then says "I'm going to make a good laydown" or something dumb like that before tabling and mucking K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]XX

Maria has like 89TJ with lots of red cards. We chop the pot and the other 3 of us in the game laugh at Crazy Mike and his great laydown.

I know I'm playing well when I can make laydowns like this one:

Limper, I raise KJ, folded to blinds who both call.

Flop QsTs9c. Check, BB bets, limper folds, I call, SB calls.

Turn 6c. Check, bet, I raise, SB folds, BB calls.

River 5s. Check, I bet, she raises, I fold.

And this one:

Villain from last hand raises in lojack, I 3bet AJ, BB calls, she calls.

Flop AA9r. Check, check, bet, call, call.

Turn Q completing rainbow, Check, check, bet, fold, she checkraises, I 3bet, she 4bets, I call.

River 2. She bets I fold.

After messing around with numbers it turns out my 3bet on turn was bad, but I'm happy I did it because my reasoning was good, I just overestimated my equity.
