This hand illustrates a problem when players move from holdem to a soft Omaha H/L game. The game is slow and boring and you can get in the routine of endlessly folding and your mind gets dull. On this hand there was no chance that I could semi-bluff bet and take it down with these two opponents so I knew I had to make a hand. But I fell asleep after the bet came from my left. I just called leaving a ton of EV on the table as I clearly had a checkraise for value. I knew I made a huge mistake a second later and kicked myself.


I'm hoping the public embarrassment will keep me awake today.
