Oh the frustration yesterday. Money bubbled these:
FTP PLO 22
PS PLO 55
PS PLO8 109
PS NR 33
PS NR 109
Min cashes suck but that is over a thousand dollars in missed min
cashes. 3 of them I busted to make it go H4H and the other two I was
five off the money.
So my only cash yesterday came in FTP PLO $33 Rebuy. I get to final
table and OPR these guys and there is maybe one winning PLO player.
It's funny but as shortest stack I felt I could take it down because of
the competition. Well I keep chipping up and getting it in good,
c-betting at the right time with misses and folding/calling at
appropriate times. I get HU with a guy who is -22% ROI in Holdem I have
no idea how but here he is playing HU in a PLO tourn. Like the guy from
the night before he couldn't miss HU. I remember one hand I raised my
button and he called with 2338 one suit. Not PLO8 but PLO here. He
called a flop bet with that hand and went to showdown. So my big
mistake that tourn was my only bluff I pulled on the guy HU. Board is
xxxxdd and I call a bet with naked A of d. River pairs the board and
makes flush and I check to him, he bets half pot maybe, I pretty
quickly shove PSB. He snaps with 9 hi flush. Just a mistake trying to
bluff a guy who defends 2388 OOP there is no way he can fold weak
flushes or sucker boats. My fault. Frustrating lay I flopped nut trips
on final hand vs his up/down str8 draw and he spiked on river. I was
pissed man. I told my girlfriend at the start of HU that I was playing
a fish for the extra 1k and I wasn't gonna lose to the guy like last
nights HU fish battle where I was pwned for the extra 3k. So I steamed
after this one. 2fish2days4k. FML. I'm happy for the guy though, as a
losing player it must feel damn good to take the tournament down. If he
plays for fun and not a job like me then he had a fun night last night
pwning me HU.
