Charity Poker Room

Another visit to the low stakes card room near my home. Sat down at the 1-2 table and despite 3 pocket pairs in 10 minutes, I was still about even. I took a flop with 77 against what I knew to be a big pair. I flopped a gut shot, but a POT sized bet to protect his hand saved his bacon as I would have hit it.

But then something wonderful happened. They got enough players to start a HO table. A rotation of NLHE with a rotation of 5-10 Omaha-high. I leaped over to the new table and confirmed my suspicions. No one really knew Omaha in the entire room except me. And the best part was because it was a rotation game and not a straight omaha game, no one noticed I won all the chips in omaha! I felt like a escaped panther at a petting zoo.

Funniest moment of the night was when I made 4 pair. Amusing, and since everyone missed their draws, my best two pair took the pot.

I left when the game broke up. I stacked every player at the table. If you ever get a chance to play 5-10 limit omaha, I cant endorse it enough.

Wow, at first I thought you were talking 5/10 PLO!

That would be a dream come true for me: 5/10 LO! Congrats!

Hi

I am a tournament player myself but am working on improving my cash game, especially live. We have recently started building a poker article database and would love to post contributions from serious cash game players in our different categories such as Poker Strategy where an article on cash game strategies would we welcomed. If you are interested check out our site at www.pokerbankrollblog.com and drop me a line on pokerbrb@gmail.com. If not, perhaps we can some some link exchange instead.
