The RNG Giveth

... and the RNG taketh away.

Great session last night, started out on fire. Got a nice 10% boost to the play chip roll when it was all said and done.

And then, just when I think tonight is going well again, I ran into your stock omatard and took a standard retard beat:

I flop the nut straight, 3 in the pot. Idiot bets out 4, I call to control pot size and see what the turn brings. Turn is harmless. Idiot pots it, 12. I re-pot, raising to 48. Idiot has to call 36 into a 71 pot, so he's getting 2 to 1 on his call. I only have 5 behind. He calls. River pairs the board, rewarding idiot who shows that he flopped middle set.

Let me get this straight. You call getting 2 to 1 with middle set, into strength, on an obvious straight board, with no implied odds and nothing to back it up but a prayer for the board to pair or that your eight high frush redraw might be good? When you're at least a 4-1 dog?

Sorry, I forgot myself for a moment there. This is omadraw, where it's call call call and fold the river if you miss. I should WANT opponents like this. And I would, but for the fact that they get rewarded for stupid plays while I get stacked when I screw up.

Okay. Vent over. Feel better. Now I have go earn that dollar I owe you for the bad beat story.
