(NC) because I love O8 and it's my birthday (yesterday)

[Slim Pickens]

I am sad that apparently no one wants to take my money playing Omaha eight-or-better. This is a sad consequence of the Party/skins split. Omaha is a fun game, and mixed with tournament strategy makes for great entertainment.

Also my chat is banned on Party for some reason that I honestly can't understand. I took a week off after my multi score and now I can't chat. The worst I did during that was try to get eveyone to do the wave while people were stalling. Is that really worth a banning?

Who the hell cares? The Party O8 is about to start. Only 4 more left. 67387.

PS: playing poker at Gold Coast and drinking with the boss's boss=+EV. I think I raised bottom pair into five people, or so I'm told. Shut up Tyler.

9988???? WTF???

[Slim Pickens]

Why on earth would you not raise the nut high with a bet and three callers already to you? Glad that wasn't me doing that.

[bones]

I'm watching now. Btw, pretty sure sweating a 10+1 o/8 sng at 5am is a new low point for me.

Anyway, GL.

Yeah, well, get ready for a whole lotta foldin'. (except if I make it to the bubble)

Also sweating me in live play is way more fun than online because I can, you know, say stuff and stuff. Stupid Party. I seriously want to know why my chat doesn't work.

[bones]

Since observers can't chat either, I guess it makes it pretty boring on both ends.

[bones]

That was an odd 3 bet by Bob with just the low and a pair of 3s.

[Slim Pickens]

I should not have raised that nut low I guess, but there were stil three others in the hand. Whatever. Quartered. That sucks... for me.

[bones]

Damn that was brutal.

Ummm, screen name? x_Scratchy_x ??

[bones]

I like oyster's strategy. Play every hand, even if it's 4 bets, and just river some boats.

[Slim Pickens]

Was it all the raising without the immortal nuts that tipped you off? Yes.

[Slim Pickens]

Why you fire the last bullet...

The best part about that hand was they left themselves with 1bb and 1.5bb each, getting like 8:1.

Nice scoop, btw.

[Slim Pickens]

I like that I played the nut low/nut flush draw like the immortal nuts, missed, and still scooped.

I only ask because Poker Prophecy rates you as a fish at 23.21% /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Slim Pickens]

I love that. Microbet can attest to my constant whining about my bad luck after winning 2xbankroll in a multi.

oops

[Slim Pickens]

I am obviously a retard. I don't deserve those 300 chips I just gave away.

haha, idiot folded with 148 chips left!

[Slim Pickens]

Um... I guess I have chat back. I guess I shouldn't have said I had the nuts. I did have the nuts there.

PWND!

Ah well, nice try.

[Slim Pickens]

At least I went out in style.

Watching this made me want to re-read EuroRounders.

"Rags" "Thats probably fine anyway, you're only like 48-52 dog."

[Slim Pickens]

I am a Jew.

I hate you.

[Slim Pickens]

...and that's Omaha Hi, BTW. There's no way I'm getting into some sort of situation where I'm dominated 48/52. That's why I play O/8, where you can only be a 49.8/50.2-dog preflop at the worst.

I'm way late to this thread, but i wanted to confirm that Slim raised with bottom pair on a board of KQ8, hit bottom two pair with a 9 on the turn, and scooped the pot like a champion.

me: "Did you just raise the flop with bottom pair?"

slim: "No."

me: "Into 5 opponents?"

slim: "No. Shut up, tyler."
