Weekly (bi-weekly) wednesday night poker report #6

Had a great night.  Played till 2:30 am and came away $150 winner.  Here are the highlights…

Bought in for $60 in the first cash game at 5:30pm.  Should have renamed it the Boat show because I had boats galore…3 in a row.  Never had that happen before.  2 of them in Omaha hi/low hands and 1 of em in a Texas hold ‘em game. 

Hand #1  – omaha hi/low- great starting hand – As 3s Kc Qc-  I’ve been really working on my Omaha Hi/Low game and it ’s starting to pay off.  Flop = Kd Kh 4c-…flopped trips, capped the raises.  Turn = Ac FULL HOUSE! Still lots of raising going on out there…hope no one has the other 2 Aces! River = 10d…No Low…Still a lot of raises…Im in turned out there 2 other boats out there ..but none that could beat my Kings full of aces.

Hand #2 – Omaha hi/low – starting hand-  mediocre- Ac 5c 10s Js-  In case you haven’t noticed I very rarely play an omaha hi/low hand without at least an ace.  Double suited is a good starting point too. To the flop = 10d 10c 5s-  Yep I flopped a full house.  Cap the raises.  But let me tell you something about Omaha hi/low, you can have the best hand on the flop and by the river be absolutely destroyed.  It’s what makes the game.  Turn = 4d…good card for me, flush draw and a low hand working keeps players in the pot.  Im hoping for a 9 or 10 on the river.  River = 9c..NICE! no low and I have the nut full house..raise raise…I turn over the 10/5 to scoop the pot.

Hand #3 Texas hold ‘em – starting hand – pocket 8’s in the big blind – Very rarely do we play hold em in the cash game so it’s a nice change of pace.  Flop = 8c Jd Js…unbelievable…I flopped another boat.  However..if someone has J/8 Im beat…so i raise to find the J.  Only 2 callers.  Turn = 10h – I bet out again but only get called..hmmm..River = 2s.  Okay only hand that can beat me is a J/8.  I bet out..still only get called so I figure my 8’s full is good…turns out the other 2 players both had a Jack for trips…nice. 

Take a look at the bankroll and Im up $200

Tournament was uneventful.  We went back to the $20 entry fee with 2 buybacks.  Nothing to write about…played tight to open and loosened up as the blinds went up.  Came in 4th and got my entry fee back. Did use my 2 buybacks.  Still up $160

The last cash  game was about the same.  Uneventful.  Won a few hands, but after the first cash game, couldn’t get many callers.  Finished up around 2:30 am up $150 for the night. 

Here’s hoping that your trips fill up to boats.
