Good Morning Mr. Stone Cold Cooler

When I woke up this morning I was excited about hitting the PL Omaha ring games. I ran well last night, and I was hoping for a repeat performance. Not so much.

The first hand I played I called of a bet on every street drawing totally dead, only to make the second nuts on the river and be forced to pay him off.

Very soon after, I ran into one of those legendary, unavoidable Omaha confrontation where an absolute monster runs into the dead nuts. I would like one person reading this to tell me that they could've laid my hand down.

I rebought, and tried to rebuild. But my stack and my confidence were ailing after that AA hand. I doubled through once I got shortstacked when I checked my flopped K-high flush and then bet the turn/ potted the river.

Then I ran flush into over-flush, but I really didn't belong in this pot. I almost folded on the turn- Puuha-Pete is really tight, a I don't like calling a bet so light. But there was a good chunk of change in the pot and I am also an idiot, so I called and set my self up for disaster.

Then I got it all-in a huge underdog...and won?!? I'm lucky the guy to my right either doesn't know how to play or loves to bluff- because after the turn, I should win this pot EXACTLY never.

After that my stack floundered up and down, never really making headway. Eventually my table broke and I didn't find a new one. Oh well, one step closer to reloading on Stars. :)
