My FUNNYEST pot, of LATE!!

[AdamtheExpert]

Ok, to show you how bad some players are, in the giant games, listen to this one.


Last night, ATE was playing in the 1000 max PLO8 game, on STARS. This game has a blind of 5 and 10, and is a little higher than I normally play. I don't like putting up a 10 dollar blind.

anyway, I start the hand with 750 bucks. I am NOT going to tell anyone, what my complete starting hand was. This is because ATE plays a lOT more hands, than I would EVER NEVER have my fans and readers play. There are reasons for this, beyond the scope of this article.

Action player makes it 25, ATE calls 20 more from the SB


The flop is: Ac 6c 10c I have a very small flush, 8 high, and a 34 low draw

Normally, I would NOT consider calling a bet with this, but Mr. Action is going to get a call from me. I check, he bets 80, which I quickly call. No one eles calls, but as there were five players, the pot is a little over 300.

Luckily for me, a nice SWEET lil' DEUCE (that's a TWO for y'all who are new) on the turn.

Oh WELL, if he got a 34 AND a bigger flush, at least I get half my money back.

ATE bets 300 GUY GOES ALL IN FOR 800! ! ! ! i HAD ABOUT 360 OR SO LEFT, so I call. Heck, against THIS guy, if I had 3000 left, I'd have gone all in!!


The river, is a VERY dissapointing ACe, SURELY, now, he must have something.

NOPE!!

SWISH!!! the 1500 BUCK pot slides over to me. I about died laughing. How can anyone, put in 750 bucks, and not even have the nut low, or aces up or a set!


WELCOME TO BIG LIMIT games, on poker stars.


I moved over to 30-60 Omaha8, and the players were even worse.


This does NOT mean that ATE is suggesting that people jump into these games, before they are ready.


Just thought I'd entertain you, with a funny story.

He he. Some of the play over at the $1000PLO is pretty crazy too. I would give it a go (have the BR to try it out) but the idea of losing a grand in one hand is a little psychologically restrictive for me. Also, in the bigger games you need to pick the right time. Quite often it's tighter and better than the lower level games but now and again you get a ton of fishy rich people coming together on one table and playing like it's a $2 buyin. I notice on UB the $400PLO game gets a lot weaker when devilifish is on the table (for one, he is aggressive, and secondly, people will sit just to play with him, even if they're fairly clueless) so I often play on that table then.

Nice pot btw. That guy must've been astonishingly bad, I want him in my game!

BOT! No one has the time, to write as much as you, so I'm starting to think that you are a BOT program, designed to answer questions. Omaha programming: written by Mark Gregorich. Food program, written by Wolfgang Puck, ect.
