PLO Tourney -- Poor Finish
I just ended up taking 6th/42 in that PLO tourney I talked about in my previous post. 5 spots paid.
It was kind of gross. I went to the final table 2nd in chips. Then in 2 pots I lost about 2/3 of my chips by getting a big pot together with the nut straight, having some guy call a big bet on the turn with a flush draw, then paying off a tiny bet on the river when the flush got there.
This play peeves me. If you absolutely can't fold a flush draw on the turn for a pot-sized bet (which seems to be the case with many of my Omaha opponents), you have to try to get some mileage out of your hand when you get there on the river. Obviously you usually don't get called often enough when you make a large bet to make the call worthwhile. But I think you should try for more than 1/4 of the pot. Don't get me wrong -- I'm happy that I get to play against people that are so bad, it just sucks when they get there all the time.
I then lost 1/2 of my remaining chips when I button-raised for 1/2 my stack with Ah2h2c6c. I didn't plan on playing post-flop as people usually set you in or fold in that scenario (as they should). The guy in the SB called then did a stop-and-go on a 3hKdQd flop. Even getting like 3.2:1 I couldn't see how a call could pay off there, so I let it go and left myself with 3.5 BBs. I got the rest of my stack in from the BB with Qd9dTs4c against an uncoordinated KK and lost.
These freakin' people were calling raises with hands like Ac8d7d3d, KsQcQhQd and other assorted trash. I hate losing to people who play that poorly...
Oh well, time to do some work.
