So here i am Playing in a PLO 6 man tournament. Tjhis Tournament is a re-buy with double auto add on. So straight away you know that for the firsat couple of hours you are gonna be playing against total morons. That is exactly what happened to me although i didn't let their stupidity get to me. I discovered that the majority of the dumb players are playing PLO just if they were playing NLHE. for those of you that understand poker and the variety of games. the game is the same in that you make the best hand with 5 cards. However the theory and strategies change from game to game. starting hands etc. but these players were just playing on the same NLHE principals and in PLO you can't play that way.
So i took a few bad beats to typical opening hands like KK, AA etc where i called the raise with 3567 double suited and then with As,Ks,10s,9d and i got beat to a boat on the river. thats ok. however after the re-buy period and addon period i build my stack up to $15000. and i open with Ac,Jc,6d,6s. and get called buy the only player who is a threat. She ahs been calling me and defending against me all day. The flop comes Ad,6c,4d I make a pot size bet and she calls me. the turn 5d. now I'm in a position to have a boat draw. with top pair I move all in. and she calls me with nothing but a diamond draw total air with a diamond draw which given the number of cards dealt the odds are less than in HLNE but we will asume a 18% chance. River 10d poof my PLO tournament is over.
I guess im a bit frustrated at this point that because i was running hot the last few weeks and now it just seems cold getting drawn out on and bad beats are taking a toll n me right now. I also understand what Jean Robert Bellande is feeling like! HOWEVER HE IS ENJOYING the life of a millionaire in his Aria suite and free rolling life. but when it comes to poker i know i can play and Rober Bellande can play too.
As i always say i don't need luck, I just don't want any bad luck.
See ya at the tables or leaning on the rail
