Do I Suck at Omaha High?
I'm pretty sure I don't, but it feels like I do sometimes. I just got my ass handed to me.
I played for about 2 hours and won a total of 3 hands. Literally. Here are some gems from the $1/$1 Omaha game I was in.
This first hand is funny. This guy puts all his money in the pot with the super-idiot straight draw. I always want to ask these people what they plan on doing with the 78 straight on the 9TJQ board.

Here's the villian from the last hand pissing away the money he donked from me (and then some). Good raise on the river buddy! I'm sure the guy who woke up on the river and bet huge has something besides the nut flush...

Finally, some guy decides to put 40 BBs in preflop against me with a suited A and some random high cards. Sounds good to me! Until he hits the gutshot on the turn and I miss my 16 out re-draw.

How horribly frustrating that was.
I also played some 5-Draw and won a few dollars. I made another straight flush, this time by drawing 1 card to the 6d8d9dTd from the SB. Here are a couple of hands from this session...
I raise in the CO with AAAxx, button folds, SB 3-bets, I cap. He draws 1, I draw 1. He bets, for some reason I don't raise, he shows up with 3h4h5h7hKh. I gotta assume that he drew the Kh, but raising is kind of a shitty way to play it. Maybe I'm thinking "Inside the box" on this, but it seems like he should be trying to keep the BB around for his big draw. Also, he was a frequent bluffer (loved to jam come hands pre-draw and post draw whether he missed or hit), so I'm pretty much going to call him down with whatever I have, even if it's a hand as bad as one decent pair like QQ or KK.
In another hand, there were 2 limpers to my BB, I drew 4 to just the As, made a pair of 3s, and won when it checked around. I still have no idea what they all had.
Finally, I folded 2 pair before the draw for the first time. We were 4-handed. UTG limps, I raise the button with TT33x, SB 3-bets, limper caps, I fold, SB calls. Other guys have Queens up and Kings up. There was another time I should have folded 2 pair before the draw but didn't and ended up losing to natural trips.
I think I'm getting better at this game, but there's always a point between beginner's luck and actual understanding where you overthink and fuck up everything. I think that's where I am now.
It's bed time for me now. I have the home game tomorrow night. Which will be that much more fun because my parents are coming into town and my Dad is going to play. This means that I expect Rik to play also. You hear me Rik?
