Four cards and a final table _love:_cool:

Oh yeaaah! Just busted out of the 1.10 $ Daily Deepstack PLO on Partypoker. This time I could make it to the final table and placed 3rd! :banana: Very nice cash, 27 $ and a nice winning today.

Also played two 2.20 $ Big Bounty Hunter PLO tourneys but they did go crappy.... but who cares. Happy with my 3rd place.

Also won a little something in CG, tried PLO5 on Partypoker, played about 1,5 hours and took some small pots (no big hand).

But now: I´m tired ..... more details? ......tomorrow.

So, what happened yesterday?

As I was too tired to tell the whole story yesterday, now here it comes:

Played PLO yesterday _love: - played two 2.20 $ Big Bounty Hunter PLO (4 pm and 8pm) as well as the 1.10 $ Daily Deepstack PLO on Partypoker. The 4 o´clock Big Bounty Hunter went totally crappy! Card-dead, could manage a little comeback as desperate shortie:

But shortly after that nice comeback, I busted with A♠ K♣ Q♠ K♦ vs a naked flushdraw. :f_ugly::facepalm:

Pretty much the same in the 8 o´clock Big Bounty Hunter. There, I could double up at the beginning with a full house, but was card-dead afterwards and busted with ssAcies by trying to K.O. a shorter stack - but the other bigstack didn´t fold his TTxx - and sucked out on me. :facepalm:

The 1.10 $ Daily Deepstack PLO didn´t start really well for me, I was pretty card-dead and besides I opened a PLO5 cash table on Party and played about 1,5 hours CG where I could win a little something. It was after about 2 hours when this hand came:

Villain "bluff"-jammed river and all I had to do was to call. _ugly:

Then I won some nice chips by "hero"-calling those kings on a board where I put Villain on plenty of bluffing hands due to busted draws. I tried to apply the range definition we learnt from Kyyberi and Villains action on flop, turn and river lead to putting him mainly on a drawing hand.

River blanks, most draws must have missed on this board, Villain fires and I called Villains big river bet.

Another nice pot I could get with trips jacks

About half an hour after that I found myself ITM. Bubble play was very long, I was card-dead but stole a lot of blinds and small pots.

Again: Was about an hour or more card-dead and all I could do is stealing and bluffing. I was lucky and very happy to sit at a table where Villains were tight and anxious. Of course I took chances to steal and bluff!

...but I was still card-dead _o: - how should I make it to the FT like this? _o: Lost two pots, didn´t hit any flop, two bluffs got called. Became short stack. But the PLO-god was with me. My desperate jam lead to a double up, two Villains made huge mistakes and spewed away their chips and there I was! The FT! _thumbsup: Short stack, but FT.

Had to wait a while of the next double with K♥ 3♣ K♣ 3♥ this nice double suited double pair. Flopped middle set which became a pretty little full house KKK99 on the river. The rest went card-dead but on shortie didn´t make it, and another two Villains spewed - one on tilt. Awesome! But meanwhile I was card-dead and among the last 3 I was the shortest stack. Blind on blind I got it in with an open ender, backdoor flushdraw and overpair (not a good one though) and didn´t get there. 3rd place and 27 $.

How much bankroll do I have now?

Just made a BR-transfer from Titan Poker to Unibet (my main room) and thought I could count my BR, haven´t done that in ages. :f_o:

So, my BR is: 885,87 $

That´s nice! So I almost rebuilt my "old" BR - of which I had cashed out about 75 % or so.

Most of my "new" BR comes from PLO (CG and MTT), the rest from NLHE-MTTs.

ITM here, ITM there....

... no big profit today but a little something - better than nothing, right? _smile:

Played the 2.20 $ Big Bounty Hunter PLO and a 1.10 $ Bounty Hunter (Holdem) on Partypoker as well as the 2.20 $ God of the Arena and the 2.20 $ KO 300 $ Gtd. on 888 and of course the "Troll Freeroll" (German Freeroll) on Titan.

The Big Bounty Hunter PLO went crappy: totally card-dead. In the 1.10 $ Bounty Hunter I was card-dead as well and played around as shortie but my jams made it and I could somehow survive until ITM. Then I jammed A♥ K♥ into AA. _mad:

Came also ITM in the 300 $ Gtd. KO could KO 3 Villains, then ITM I jammed 99 into KK. :facepalm:

In the God of the Arena I could KO 7 people which gave me nice money, couldn´t make it ITM but with the KOs I got some nice little profit.

In the Troll Freeroll I just played crappy... :f_ugly: Oh boy, scr*wed up to hands and out I was. Had to get used to Holdem again first, but better mess up the Freeroll than the other ones. :f_ugly:

Today I finish with a little winning .... better than nothing. :f_ugly:

Time for friends (and mixed drinks)

Spent a very nice afternoon/evening yesterday with my "Troll of the Year 2019", Harrier88. For those who don´t know yet: He´s not only my "Troll of the Year 2019" but also became a friend in real life (as we don´t live too far away from each other). Harrier is an expert for Mixed Games and mixed drinks, so check out his blog for some awesome cocktail recipes.

So, I personally was lucky to try some of those

which were delicious ....... and the hangover today is fortunately only very mild.:f_ugly::f_ugly::f_ugly: :f_ugly::sifflote::sifflote:

But as we both like playing cards, we did that too and played some .... urm...interesting, exotic card game :f_ugly::f_ugly:.....well... I´m learning it ... pretty complex, especially after you had a couple of delicious drinks. :f_ugly::f_ugly::f_ugly::sifflote::sifflote::sifflote: Somehow I managed to get to understand a little bit how that game works. :f_ugly:

Anyway, we had a lot of fun and it was a very nice, funny and relaxing day! :banana:

The game in question was called Koi-Koi, which is played with these cards:

I was impressed with your quick grasp on this game, you did better than most people I've shown it before. :f_thumbsup:

Anyone else, feel free to give it a try over here. (Though this version inclused some "banhauser" rules. Another thing about this game is that it comes with tons of house rules, to the point that I can't remember ever seeing two explanations of the rules that were completely alike.)

I'm very glad that you enjoyed our meetup as much as I did. :f_love:

The game sounds like a cross between CalvinBall (or Calvinball) and Fizzbin.

JOOC -- what was the drink called?
Recipe?
Edit: never mind, I just read Harrier88's post

Sadistic dealer! :f_ugly::f_ugly:

Oh dear, what a crappy session today! :facepalm: Played the 1.10 $ and the 2.20 $ God of the Arena and the 2.20 $ 300 $ Gtd. KO on 888, the 2.20 $ PLO Big Bounty Hunter and the 1.10 $ PLO Bounty Hunter turbo on Partypoker and of course the "Troll Freeroll" (German Freeroll) on Titan. My todays session was like pulling teeth without anesthetic. :facepalm::rage:

2.20 $ God of the Arena: One K.O., the rest totally card-dead, desperate all-in with K4s lost vs 9To
Troll Freeroll: Totally card-dead, desperate all-in with QJo ran into QQ
1.10 $ God of the Arena: Busted with AA, flopped a set AAA and busted vs naked flushdraw
2.20 $ PLO Big Bounty Hunter: Totally card-dead, busted with double suited kings, flopped trips and lost vs naked flushdraw
1.10 $ PLO Bounty Hunter turbo: At least there made it ITM but busted then with a flopped str8 vs naked flushdraw

Well guys, guess had a pretty sadistic dealer today :f_ugly::f_ugly::f_ugly::f_ugly:

The CG-dealer was a bit nicer ...... :f_ugly:

Played PLO10 and a little PLO4 on Unibet and as you can expect in Omaha: rollercoaster! :mdr: Had a couple of nice hands to double up my stack and some very nice hands with which I lost. The rest was pretty much picking up some small pots.

Very early in my session I could double up with the nutflush

and made some trips

Then I lost a stack in PLO10 with A♥ K♥ Q♠ A♣ vs some random hand. "Ran" then twice with KKxx into acies (small pots) and was then card-dead. In PLO4 I could make this nice little hand here:

Afterwards I could get about 3/4 stack (Villain did not take the full BI to the table) with two pair vs acies.

..and that is pretty much it. Came out with a nice little winning of about 12 € (so one stack up), cause got tired.... :f_ugly:

At least CG went better than MTT yesterday :f_ugly::f_ugly::f_ugly:

Instead of poker and tennis: bed! :f_frown:

Caught a little flu virus (not Corona). So after work, no tennis, no poker, but bed and some sleep instead. Meeeh! Sucks!

Hope tomorrow I´ll be able to do play some PLO _love:

Have played around with 6€ cash game ticket. Only usable in plo4 but have made it into some 37€ or so :)

With current rate it would be like 150€ after 300 flops but probably not going to be as hot run.

Thank you, Vorpal! :heart::heart::heart:

Still feeling very tired. Today I "overslept" a bit. Normally I use to get up early and start my work but today I somehow couldn´t get out of bed and I slept WAY longer than usual. Could finish my work anyway but still feeling very tired. I think I need one more good night sleep and I´ll be okay. Hope I can hit the tables tomorrow. _love:

Four cards and two deep runs but.....

.... just missed the FT in the 1.10 $ PLO Bounty Hunter and placed only 7th. _cry: Nice ITM, could KO two Villains but ...meeeeh.....

.. in the 2.20 $ Big Bounty Hunter I could also get ITM and make a pretty deep run, placed 18th, which is not bad, couldn´t do more... busted with trips and nut-flush-draw vs Full House.

I played pretty well PLO today ......... even though a certain troll was telling jokes all the time _tongue:_tongue:_tongue:_tongue:

_ugly:_ugly:_ugly:_ugly:_ugly:_ugly:_ugly:_ugly:

But I´m happy with my PLO play, only one bad blooper (overplaying the underfull), the rest went fine....

Patience, patience...but now it´s enough....

Played now 3 hours PLO10 (mainly) and PLO4 on Unibet. Was a really annoying session. The worst part was not even this:

or this:

or nutstr8 < two pair (rivers a FH)

The worst part was a long long card-dead phase where I either got no decent starting hand or totally missed the flops/boards. I really had to pull myself together, having discipline, not starting to gamble or call stuff which I shouldn´t call. So I waited patiently..... waited patiently .... folded what I should fold, but after a while it got really annoying so I decided to quit my session now. I ran out of patience for today :f_ugly::f_ugly::f_ugly:

There was only one nice double up today, which I show you:

Kept my losses at minimum, I practiced range definition at the tables and I´m proud of my discipline. -20 €, two stacks down.

Well, today there was really no chance to win anything. So, it´s okay.

The usual rollercoaster ...

..what else do you expect in PLO? _ugly: Played PLO4 and PLO10 on Unibet and my todays session was a little bit of everything: annoying (card-dead, missed flops), hot (a triple up in PLO4 with acies), eye-rolling (3 suck-outs) and just picky (picking up small pots).

Had a very special Villain on the table at PLO4. No, not one of us fellow-regs but a passionate all-in-jammer. :mdr: This Villain definitely did not come to the tables to fold! No no, he 3-bet- 4-bet-jammed with junk.... and sucked out on my single- and double suited acies three times with some rubbish. _ugly: But eventually statistics were on my side and I could empty him twice.

At PLO10 there was not much going on .... nobody wanted to get it in, so I just picked up some pots, picked up what was there lying in the middle, didn´t have too good cards, but could fire a couple of nice bluffs, had a set once (but nobody called flop). So actually, in PLO10 just nobody called on the flop and I picked up the pot.

After this whole rollercoaster-journey I ended up break even .... like +50 cents or so ... _ugly:_ugly:_ugly:
