Res Ipsa Poker

Donkeration continues. Blew out of both the Bodonkey and the Skillz Series well short of the money (and also short of the points). Mass quantities of fail. It's a very good thing that this is just entertainment.

I know I suck at Omaha/8, but I just had to chuckle at the way I busted in the Skillz. This is not a bad beat story. I got into a war with another short stack (I think it was pushmonkey72 but the hand history is at home). I'm thrilled to get it all in on a disconnected flop of two low cards (including a two), two hearts and one diamond. I have (I think) AJ34 or (AJ36?) double suited with the ace suited in hearts, giving me the nut flush draw in hearts, a backdoor flush draw in diamonds, a straight draw, (as it turns out) two clean overcards and a clean draw with many outs to the nut low. The villain had A2xx for a pair of twos and not much else. Brick. Brick. Neither card helps either of us. Pair of twos is GOOD.

Maybe you had to be me but I LOL'd.

Stupid game.

Thankfully I sucked out early and often to win a pushfest. I'm not sure what's more fun - winning money or completely tilting people who are there to play seriously in a 50 FTP SnG.

It was also educational watching (and listening, courtesy of Buddy Dank Radio) to Fuel play a 5/10 NL cash game. Apparently there are morons who will stack off with top 2 pair at that level too. Maybe they only boat up when they play me.

Don't forget to play the M00kie tonight, 10:00 PM eastern. The BBT3 rolls on and on.
