Ladies and gentleman, I regret to be the bearer of bad news, but my quest has taken a sharp nose swan dive plunge into the murky depths of the losing money pool.
Day 2 I was feeling pretty confident after getting up to eleven bucks, that I decided to multitable. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of buying in for the pokerstars default, $3 on the first two. What the hell! , I thought.. can't hurt too much right? Whats a few extra bucks buy in... then the third table I decided: What the hell! I'll just go max.. $5!! It'll be sweet! , I thought. Big stack to push around the fishies!
LITTLE DID I KNOW that those extra bucks would be EXTRA devastating in the hand of doom that came up...
I was playing fairly tight as normal, won some small pots on some tables, lost some small pots on others. The one table I bought in for $5 I was up just a few pennies. I figured since I had a large stack, I could afford to see flops for 2 cents and then fold if I missed or cash big if I hit a good hand, since bad players would call me down.
HERES WHAT HAPPENED:

IMAGINE MY SHOCK, when my opponent rolls over basically my exact hand, but with 9s instead of 10s!
As he raised me on the river, the back of my mind said "Gee, I hope he doesnt have kings or nines! Maybe just flat call, you have to realize your bankroll can't take big swings!"
Then the front of my mind was like "Naw... no way he'd play kings so slow, and nines is soo unlikely. Probably has full house with the nines! Hahahaha sucker! Pop it up already direleif! Damn think of how cool your blog will be when you show how bad you outplayed this sucker!!!!"
-$3.34 from that hand alone: almost 30% of my bankroll!! I went on mini tilty and lost a little bit more before I decided to call it quits.
Needless to say, I've learned my lesson. Next session I will buy in for no more than $2, probably more like $1.
Until next time..

I don't know much about omaha, but isn't it super high variance (like you are almost always just a small favorite, like 60/40)? And again, my experience of playing omaha isn't exactly vast, but shouldn't you bet a lot more on the flop (and I duno, I'd bet the turn but I don't play omaha, maybe in omaha someone will always have a straight or something)?
Oh well, good luck rebuilding it :0 |
