"u could of got me for way more"

Here's a line that I've never understood in poker chat: "u could of got me for way more". In this hand, he bets a small pot with king hi flush, I call with top set queens, turn the top boat, and then flat call his probe bet, then raise him strong on the river after his bet indicates he thinks he's still good. He calls, and then calls me an idiot because he would've paid me off even more. Go figure.

(Result for Hand 1599645032)
KODIAKZERO wins Hi($26.15) with (Full house, queens full of eights).
You've been awarded 3 Absolute Points + 1 FAME Status Point.

Hands to make you quit poker

So I 4 bet it preflop with AAJJs to $52 in $1 PLO 6 max after this joker 3 bets with 2245s. He calls, then bets all in $80 on Q63 rainbow flop; not a bad play on the flop (big draw + fold equity), but how in the hell did he call $50 preflop with that junk?? For more than a third of his stack?? I had it bad all night (down $350 after crushing it night after night), but this hand epitomized the bad running.

My Miracle 3 outer on river


I tend to come into a table hot and heavy, and then change gears and tighten up. Here I overplayed AAxx, and when Ray min-checkraised my $15 turn bet, instead of steam-shoving, I call and river...(drumroll please)...the Royal. That last miracle card didn't slow him down at all, kind of like my aces earlier. But when a donkey like me makes a 3 card suckout on the river, why should it??

Omaha Wrap Shove

The action on this $1 PLO 6 max table was really dying off, so when I limped and bet the unraised pot flopping top set queens, and the guy on right checkraised the pot at me, I figured he must have a lesser set, given that there was no flush draw and any str8 draws would be way behind. So instead of flat calling I reraised the pot, and called when he shoved with his wrap draw.
I miscounted the first time I looked at this replay. Rather than the normal 8 outs with a wrap draw, holding the ace gave him a total of 13 outs. A wrap and flush draw give you got 15 outs for about a 50-50 shot from the flop, so he had slightly less than 50%, but close. Much better than a one-third shot with just a wrap. That's a very big point to remember in Omaha.

Monster Hand, Monster Call

I decided to keep jamming the pot with my wrap draws in this hand, and this guy followed until we rivered it. He shoved with 3rd nut str8, I monster called with 2nd nut str8 in a $230 pot.

Live by the sword,...



Playing $1 PLO 6 max with a big stack bully raising pot preflop every hand, then betting people out. He doubled me up twice when I picked up massive draws, most notably here in this $300+ pot. I flopped open-ended plus medium FD, he shoved on turn with just the slightly higher FD when I hit nut str8. He had well over $500 (two-and-a-half buyins), but overplayed his draws and dropped down to about $50.
