weird day...

so, a little bit of a weird day.  I am down about $25 around the time of writing this... which is actually a nice comeback from about 2 hours ago when I was down $75.  I was playing Omaha this morning and caught a cooler/overall bad play.

So, some people may consider this more of a cooler... but, I knew the flop was trouble, I knew the turn was even more trouble, and by the river i was hoping so bad he was holding AKQ10 I convinced myself I had the best hand...

Omaha is an easy game in that once someone raises you can limit there range pretty quickly.  They are holding either pocket kings or pocket aces.  I know this, and should of mucked the hand right after he bet the flop.  But, for some reason I often have a tough time giving online low limit poker players credit for any sort of hand, which has overall prob. cost me money.

Anyway, after that I went on to lose another buy in to a higher flush... I  think I had a 10 high to his queen high... o well... once again it was stupidity and I should of mucked the hand pre flop...

but, while Omaha was treating me badly I decided to switch it up over to Hold 'Em.  I sat in at a .05/.10 deep stack ($20 buy in) and pumped it up to $35 pretty quick after I flopped trips and then the following hand busted some guy when I was dealt aces.  

I also decided to play in the 3.30 Knock Out 90 person tournament.  I consider these fun because people do some crazy things because there is a bounty on everyones head.  For each person you knock out you get .50.  I finished third while knocking out 6 people and honestly should of probably taken first, but was knocked out after this hand

As you can see the guy was pretty much risking all of his chips going to the river with maybe 12 outs... He could have just as easily been drawing dead after the turn if I held any number of hands, Pocket King, 2's, jacks, or King jack.  

Now my thoughts about this hand... he didn't reraise me preflop so I put him on suited connectors like a 9-10, 8-9 combination of an Ace-rag all the way up to A-9.  Over the course of the final two tables he was showing a great deal of aggression preflop w/ any two face cards or any pair, so I felt very comfortable with the flop.  

When I bet the 15k and he smooth calls i put him on drawing hand... maybe an Ace-2 with the ace of diamonds.  So, once the turn gives me a relative safe card, based on my read, I figure I can't check here and give him the chance to get a free card and catch his draw for free.  So I push and give myself a 75% chance to have a monster stack and the inside track to the finish line.  

It wasn't meant to be, but Im not upset w/ my play as I obviously got it all in w/ the best hand.

So right now the account is it $78.  Didn't see any forward progress for the day, but like I said, for a little bit I was hovering around $25-$30.

I might look to get in about another hour of play, as tomorrow it's going to be tough to get any hands in.
