Play badly, win money!
In an effort to expand my poor play to other poker games, here's an Omaha/8 hand I wanted to take a closer look at.
Ultimate Bet 0.25/0.50 Omaha/8 (9 handed) converter
Preflop: Idiot/Hero is BB with 2h, 2s, 3h, 4d.
six players call, 1 fold, SB raises, Idiot/Hero calls, everybody else calls.
Flop: (16 SB) 4c, 2d, Js (8 players)
SB checks, Idiot/Hero bets, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO calls, SB calls.
After the preflop raiser checked, I figured I should bet out to knock out anybody that might backdoor something. I figure the low draws are going to stay in. Note to self: read up on flopping bottom set in O/8. It's probably one of those poker situations where it looks a LOT better than it actually plays out.
Turn: (10.50 BB) Qc (6 players)
SB checks, Idiot/Hero bets, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, CO raises, SB calls, Idiot/Hero calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.
Plenty of draws out there now, and I just got raised. I'm not in good shape.
River: (20.50 BB) 8s (6 players)
SB checks, Idiot/Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, CO bets, SB calls, Idiot/Hero calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 folds.
There's a low out there... my chances for the high aren't great, but worth a call.
Final Pot: 24.50 BB
Results in white below:
SB has Ac 5c 5s Tc (Low: 8, 5, 4, 2, A High: one pair, fives).
Idiot/Hero has 2h 2s 3h 4d (High: three of a kind, twos).
UTG has 4s 9c 5d Ad (Low: 8, 5, 4, 2, A High: one pair, fours).
MP3 has Th Jd Jc 7d (High: three of a kind, jacks).
CO has 9s 3d 5h Ts (Low: 8, 5, 4, 3, 2 High: straight, queen high).
Outcome: CO wins 12.25 BB. SB wins 6.12 BB. UTG wins 6.12 BB..
The session itself went very well - in for $25 and out for $57 in about three hours. I think that's +64BB, which is testament to either my hot cards or everyone else's poor play at this level. And I was the first one seated, so I got that nifty 50% UB bonus. I ended up converting almost $5 of bonus cash to real money.
Oh the joys of being a micro-limit fish!
UB Update: $734 real, $274 bonus, 4583 Pts.
