Before I talk about today's action - Someone figured out that when you have the same 7 dudes playing in the Omaha game that all are no action play the nuts style the game sucks. So some of the more action players decided that they (we) are going to change the game to a 2-5 HO game. 1 it "priced out" the cheap short stacked nits. 2. it allows the game to draw players from the holdem pool. On balance - I hope to God they keep this game. Not only was the game filled with action, we had three new holdem players join that shot off $4K in the Omaha rounds as they clearly don't understand how to play the game.

Today could have been a whole lot worse, but in the end it could have been a whole lot better. I got put in the set cemetery early My 9-9-9 < K-K-K = $500 loss. Sucked but no way around that one. I then flopped bottom 2 vs top 2 = $250 loss. Thankfully the day turned around from there. I batted most of the way back to down $200, $100 -$200 at a pop. Q-Q > A-K that sort of stuff.

Then in the Omaha round I called $40 with 9-9-8-7 to close action in a 6 way pot. Not exactly the hand you want in that situation, but "any two" in that spot I guess. Flop came down 9d-3x-4x. Right wrong or indifferent, I really wanted to see what the turn brings with this sort of flop, even if it means I have to fold/call on a bad turn. I never had to or wanted to raise. By the time it got to me I had to call $100, and by the time it got back to me again I had to call all in for $700. It was 5 way all in for $3400. Turn was the Ad and I shit my pants.... what a bad card. River Qd.... opens up Diamonds.... another awful card. Three of the 4 others called with A-2 and the other guy had bottom set. Unfortunately someone had Ax-2d-6d in his hand, but fortunately he was the short stack. He scooped the first $300/$1,500. Somehow nobody had a wheel and i took the high side of the rest of the pot, roughly $1,100 or a profit of $400. No Diamond/low or a paired board and I could have walked away a HUGE winner. Oh well - like I said at the top it could have been a lot worse, but it could have been better. I was now up $150 on the day.

I then promptly shot off $138 with J-J pre vs two guys on a A-K-2 board.

Net net - $12, and a grilled chicken salad that I bought out of my stack.
