Here's a funny one. I'm new at a $25PLO8 table on Party, maybe 3 or 4 hands in. I haven't played anything yet, but the table has been somewhat passive so far. I just switched to this table after losing yet again when I got heads up preflop with AA2x and got sucked out by some donk playing garbage. I am in LP and UTG bets the pot, UTG+1 then raises the pot again. I have 9975 ds. Not the best hand on the O8 planet, to say the least. However, when 3 guys between me and UTG+1 call, I have to think about it. I'm getting 6-1 or so on a call, so I figure what the hell, there's a good chance a lot of the low cards are out, and I'm in a gambley type of mood, let's call it. UTG just flat calls as well, so there's about $20 in the pot, and I have about $15 left.
Flop comes 289, but all clubs. I have top set, but will almost certainly need the board to pair to have a shot. I plan on folding, but lo and behold, UTG pots it, and 4 more guys call. Now there's $80 in the pot, my $15 could win me about $70 of it, so I have to call. Well, maybe I don't have to, but I do anyway.
Turn is a J, but the river is a glorious 8 and I take half. Then the fun starts. A guy that had the nut flush on the flop goes off about me playing a crap hand. I just tell him "Hey, that's a Double Suited crap hand to you, buddy". He goes on about how I should never play a 9, blah blah blah. I tell him "I was feeling lucky, and I was RIGHT".
3 hands later I stack him with a flopped wheel that I pushed hard on. He called me down with 2 pair and no low.
