you take the hi road - pt 2

welcome back, gentle reader.

another wee omaha lesson.

returned (again) to my beloved plo8 cash. guess what ? my friend was at the table and he was up to his usual party tricks, thats right, playing every-gawd-damned-fucking-hand ... this time he was not so lucky.
just for the record, i cannot be arsed to change names to protect the guilty :)

i have to admit to a certain admiration for the guys name tho - PoisonedLuck - sheer class mate :))

he was at the table with $30 when i joined ... as usual, here a few hands.

certainly not the same trash he was playing and hitting the other night. his trouble seemed to be even when a good hand hit, he seemed to be getting quartered all the time. not good for your balance that one.

50mins later he left with $1.64 ...

if all you are chasing is a flush, make sure its the nutz.

it seems players at these micro limits will bet the nut low till there mouse finger falls off ... and what they have for a high, seems almost irrelevant.

and my session ?

i lost the princely sum of 94c

... hell of a lot better than the buy-in the first night
