welcome back, gentle reader
oh my gawd, i feel awful !
on two counts .... i feel bad for ranting like that ... and i have a hangover :((
oh well, sometimes its good to let off a little steam !
btw thanks for comments from mair, donkey, exile and acorn :)
the day started well yesterday. went to my local for a pint with my mate and then back to his for Christmas dinner, which was superb ! always good when someone else does the cooking and he wouldn't even let me help with the dishes ! double result !
a few beers after dinner and i pretty much roll home. get the old dvd recorder fired up ... recording all of "Heroes" on the Sci-Fi channel. the whole of season 1 :)
fire the pc up for some poker. luckily for me and my bankroll i did not do anything to stupid. hell, i even manged to win one ... sorry, make that a 2nd place :) lol, how the hell i managed to "play" for 4 hours is beyond me, and my neighbour must have wondered what all the shouting was about when i eventually got HU.

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 ...

you take the hi road ...
welcome back, gentle reader.
well, my return to the pl08 cash zoo was not pretty. then again, omaha being the beast that it is, you really need good starting hand selection ... and when you are dealt this type of thing, maybe its time to go do something else. read on, or should that be fucking-stroll-on ...
Dealt to doom_bfg [ Td 4h 3s 3h ]
Dealt to doom_bfg [ Th 3d 2s 4s ] ....... ** Dealing Flop ** [ Ah, Qs, 2d ][ 9c ][ Kd ] ... ffs

and on and on and on ...
needless to say i won fuck all. i think sub-conscious tilt set in. see, there is one guy at the table who is playing every-single-fucking-hand ... and winning with trash ...
theBa$tard sat down with $25 and when i left he had $70 ......
here is a selection of his hands that went to showdown ......
[ Kc, Qh, 7c, 5d ]two pairs, Kings and Queens.
[ 7s, 8d, 4h, 7d ]a full house, Sevens full of Kings.
[ 6c, 2d, 3d, 7s ]a full house, Sevens full of Twos.
