Just a quick one (an hour or so). Started off 2 tabling (which was waaaay too much for me lol, I realized this after a bit tho), ended up down like just under half a buyin, oh well - just happens to be the exact same amount I won (8th or 9th place) in some 15$ PLO donkament

Definitely going to put in a lot of Omaha HU hands during the weekend (don't be lazy, one time!!).

The longest match was really interesting actually, it was about 200 hands vs some guy on iPoker. I was getting destroyed but amazingly I started picking up really, REALLY detailed reads which felt great. Things like how he was always stacking off after X, always potcontrolling when Y, etcetc. Felt good to be picking up on this stuff (I've always sucked HU).
I finished up 65 cents on him :D Which was a come back of sorts.

Some hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491403 - Eh. Not sure why I choose to play this preflop! Must have been a lil frustrated or un-focused (probably still 2 tabling). Anyway, it was the second straight time that he repotted me instantly when I led like this (although last time it was on the river..) andddddddd I should have folded cause I'm not sure he'd been as aggressive as I felt he'd been.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491404 - Argh@ turn!! He showed something weird like 5XXX

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491406 - His check = pot-control or give up, so I was going pot pot check or pot pot pot if board came off scary (ie flushdraw)

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491407 - This hand made me realize his fullpot bets = "I'm stacking off" and his checks = "I'm potcontrolling".

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491408 - Probably a preflop raise..? Anyway, on the river I'm trying to mimick the last hand sort of, I guess it kinda sucks that I can only really rep 69, 79, 89.. Hold'em mindset with 1 card straights I guess

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491411 - C/C = pot control = pot pot pot (I mean top 2 on this board in a reraised pot is obviously ALWAYS pot pot pot). This was the first time I observed it I think.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491412 - wee!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491415 - I dislike my check here, he was not stabbing the turn at all. I like my river check tho, because he HAD been betting rivers more than turns. But yeah, bet bet bet >>>>> check, he didn't like folding.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491416 - he really really doesn't like folding

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491417 - I don't think I can c/r river..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491419 - wow he really hates folding

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491421 - Hm, I had lots of spots like this where I wasn't sure I should bet the flop since I wouldnt know what to do vs a c/r (fold? not the nut wrap, fd out there).. Maybe bet fold these hands more.

Anyway, at the end he went on tilt or something when I said I was leaving in 20 hands, and started 3betting everyhand, raising every hand oop. Unfortunately ipoker dealt me 237K rainbow for 20 hands

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/491430 - Failed limp RR, he'd been going INSANE.

I had a LOT of trouble deciding what hands to call with out of the BB, and I couldn't establish a good c/r dynamic (I swear he had ESP, everytime I wanted to c/r he potcontrolled -.- so I could never do it with a strong hand). I think my stats were way too tight and I probably need to work on identifying how the value of hands changes hu.

But HU omaha is pretty fun =]

Oh and, someone plz fix omaha hands for ipoker? Sucks that they do not display properly

Also, I kinda want to do something similiar to what I did back in december for my supernova challenge.. Maybe not 5k hands a day like back then but I need a goal.. Not sure what tho.

Ahhh that was you, I recognized the name and decided not to play someone who was probably good when I was already having trouble deciding what hands to call single raises with out of the big blind :D

I promise I won't sit out next time, will stay and get beat on for a bit!
