My 2nd or 3rd ever PLO8 multi, on Stars. I had been playing PLO8 for all of about a month maybe. I think it was the $20 buyin that runs (ran?) on Weds nights at 7:30est. Anyway, we were about 5 people from the bubble and I have been killing it. I am 2nd overall in chips and probably have double if not more than the #3 guy. Chipleader is at my table but he has me by maybe a couple K, if that.
I get QQ23 (or some other 2 low cards) on the button and it's checked around. Chipleader is in the BB. I raise pot and the SB and him call. Flop comes Q99. Check, check, I bet 1/2 pot. SB folds, BB hesitates and calls (clue #1). Turn is a 4, he pots. I figure he has to have 94 and I repot. He flat calls (clue #2). I start to get a little curious, as 9s full of 4s is pretty vulnerable and why just flat call? River is another 4, he pots. Ok, if he had 44 then I'm done. If he had 99 I'm done. The only hand I can beat is Q9, which at this point is no more or less likely than the other 2. I had 8 or 9k left IIRC and could have folded and at least made the cash, but I could not see laying it down with what I think was over 60k in the pot at that point. Of course he had 99.
I think I shot my dog after that hand. Pretty bad considering I didn't have a dog so I had to go to the pound and get one first, then take it home and shoot it.Statistics: Posted by JDLush — Wed May 31, 2006 6:41 am
