After busting out of the WCOOP main event, I decided to sit down in the old Party "Blast Off" game for a couple of hours to calm my mood. What a ridiculous game! 7 or 8 handed to the flop in a raised pot almost every hand, people calling down with top pair, everything you expect of party poker. Naturally, I had to calm down my usual style and try to peddle the nuts a bit, but that was fine (I was listening to Dostoyefsky's The Gambler on audiobook, so I didn't really want to think anyway).
Anyway, with all this discussion of how strong a hand 2 pair is, I was wondering what you guys thought of this play:
Party Poker Pot-Limit Omaha High, $2 BB (6 handed)
saw flop|<font color="C00000">saw showdown</font>
BB ($94)
UTG ($272.30)
MP ($95)
<font color="C00000">Hero ($523.10)</font>
Button ($144.90)
<font color="C00000">SB ($88.30)</font>
Preflop: Hero is CO with T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, J/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
