Running bad at Full Tilt Omaha 8

It's been a while since I last posted, I'm really busy doing...not much really.

Anyway, so far I'm losing at PL and NLO8. Played about 1500 hands so far and I'm down like 4 buyins. I'm by no means an expert yet, but I think it's safe to say that I've been running terribly so far. Bottom of y-axis is -$100 sigh




Here's the biggest hands in my stretch so far.

http://handposter.com/hand/6359 This one I wasnt sure about until I put it in a calculator. I have 60% equity vs the villian, and theres a bunch of dead money in the pot from the short stack. Easy push, bad luck.

http://handposter.com/hand/6360 Not gonna make an excuse about this one, 100% bad play. I should have correctly check/folded the turn. Playing perfectly I should have raised preflop but I'm out of position and in this instance I'm playing for set/straight value, not pocket aces value. Pretty surprising how weak the villains' holdings were though right? Lost to bottom straight and a gutshot/flush draw. Similar to one of the other hands posted here somewhere.


http://handposter.com/hand/6358 Here I was pretty confident about my hand. I figured I was most likely up against aces, maybe Q2 or a set. He had a broadway wrap which I had 55% equity. Not a huge edge by any meansl, but annoying nonetheless.

http://handposter.com/hand/6357 Biggest loser. I guess I could have checked the turn, but after seeing the villian's hole cards I think I made the perfect or near perfect play by betting. I was expecting to be way behind here, AT LEAST aces up. Turns out I was up against a worse 2 pair and a gutshot/flush draw. On the turn I have 40% equity in a 3 way pot. Couldnt I have atleast split the pot?

http://handposter.com/hand/6361 Don't believe I'm running bad yet? Here you go.


I did win a few hands, but not worth mentioning as this is a running bad post.

Let's see.... in other news, I'm playing lots of brawl. I play league matches at wifiwars and I'm rank 16 on the ladder. It changes all the time, but I think in time I'll be in the top 5. Went to 2 tournaments so far, one was on Long Island I got 2nd place, but the structure was retarded and only first got paid so I bubbled : \

Other one a web2zone weekly, which was pretty cool. There were a bunch of big names there and we got there late so we didn't bother registering. Just hung out with great players and played friendlies. New picture of me on the left is at web2zone.

I'm still planning on getting my table selector to work for omaha, don't worry. It'll be up eventually (atleast for me : ( you'd be surprised at how much more work it takes to get it to work outside of my machine as a standalone program). Maybe in a month or 2?
