Oh What a Night

Early May back in 2007. I love that song, but this blog is about having more balls than brains. After being flush with cash for the first time in a long time at Full Tilt, I decided to screw around a bit and enter some higher entry fee satellites. So, what do I do? Go out and win the first one for an entry into a $150 tourney, which I actually can't play due to upcoming travel. So, $163 in $T. Then, I decide to REALLY gamble it up and play a Super turbo satellite on FT. That is one of those that you get 100 chips and blinds are 15/30 to start and go up every 3 minutes. Since I run bad, I end up in the BB on the first hand where I see 5 people push ahead of me. Oh, by the way, did I mention that this sat is Omahahahaha, of which I know very little. Well, I look down at my 4 cards and nothing seems to match or look very good, so I fold. One guy wins and 4 guys are knocked out. Ok, that works. Next hand, I get xKKx. Push baby and I take it down.

Get AAxx 4 hands later and bust someone else. Down to 2 people and this guy just keeps berating me for my bad play. Now, a couple of things about that. Do I suck at Omaha? Sure I do. But, can you really tell anything about my skillz during a super turbo satellite? I don't think so. Well, this donkey won again giving me a nice score of $216 T$. Pay the fat kid.

So, onto the cash games. I donk off a couple of buy ins at Bodog when I decide to get adventurous at FT and play big. And I mean big...at least for me. I sit down at a $5/10 NL table. Not just any $5/10 table...a deep stack one meaning you can buy in for $2k. Here we gogogogogogo!

I tread water for a bit, then lose a pretty big hand with KK with an A on the flop. I am down to $1500 and decide if I ever get back to my original $2k I am done. So, I build it up to about $1900 and then start to fall back again when this magical hand comes up.

Ok, so what in the world was this guy doing? K5? He beats....ummm, he beats nothing. He likely doesn't even beat anything but a huge bluff. Even then, I might have A high. I guess he was thinking I might fold here, but wow, if the play is always this bad at 5/10, I might have a new home. I saw someone call a 4 bet all in pre flop in blind vs blind with AT. WTF?

So, all in all, it is shaping up to be a great May - i have almost all of April's losses recovered and working on putting up my best month since 2005 on my $10k tourney score.
