.10/.20 PLO - $10

Looked to go all the way with it from the outset, and did. That was as good a flop as I could have hoped for, and I went with it.

I don't mind this kind of loss, although maybe a better player recognizes the second pair of aces with the pf reraise, but I had no read on the table. I think given the swingy nature of the game, I can only risk a $5 at a time at Omaha games (or about 2% of my roll). Ferguson has a 2% rule for tournaments since they too are very swingy, so it makes sense to adopt a similar policy for Omaha games.

.05/.10 NLHE - $10

(AcJd) I admit that I was a little distracted, and pretty much fell in love with the flop to the point where I was thinking of it as me being on some kind of freeroll. I ultimately played that flop terribly with almost every action I took. I played it like I had the nuts, when I was lucky to have even been second-best given the action in that spot. An embarrassing hand.

(K5) It was so clear we were chopping, I almost didn't bet the river, and I shouldn't have. Villain definitely shouldn't have shoved. A min-raise sends me the message and we can minimize the damage.

Table collapse.

Well, a quick two-buying slide to REALLY put a cliff on that graph after my recent results (the drop at the 9000-hand mark). But, not tilting or anything and I have another fifteen minutes, so let's go after it. It's hunting, not chasing.

(K9s) Wow, I guess I found out where top pair second kicker stood in a hurry. The guy with AA left the table before I could get a note on him for his minraise with aces.

OK, just a couple more hands. Hopefully I find something I can use to get some sugar.

Nope, garbage.
