i was playing a little 25plo8 at the cryptos while i was messing with some computer stuff. after having been quartered and outdrawn (by hands without the odds) all session, i thought this hand would end it on a good note.

the play here is whacky... everybody has a draw or two. not sure what the equities are (no twodimes yet). note that no one folded after the flop. this is why i love plo8.

fwiw, at least i got Sidepot 4 ($6.24).

[edited for clarity]

i can't say i'm surprised except that there was only one A2 out there.

ah, well next time i look at the results, i will look at ALL the hands before i open my big mouth.

(yes, i know this opens up the door for an easy joke for anyone that is paying attention)
