Omahaha

So, I got second in a BBV omaha donkament. Or, rather, I lose 1st when I agreed to flip since I suck HU. Actual cards made me a 40/60 dog. I had QJxx unsuited, he had JJ44ss. Uh, great.

But, I did alright, even if I did suckout as a shortstack KKTAss v. AAxx v. some donkey hand early on.

Holdem, however, fucking sucks. How about a one outer against an overaggro TAG and a fish? Yes, thanks FT. I open 99, aggrotard 3bets me in position. This means he has a pair, a suited connector, or Ax. I can't call for set value. I've dumped AKo once to this tard and maybe two other hands. I really am sick of this BS. Fish cold calls from the blinds. Uh, okay, let's call and see a flop. 983r. Shipit? Fish checks, I check, tardo checks. I'm going for the check/raise obviously and I pretty much have a lock at this point. I fully expect tardo to bet, fish to call, and then I can decide if I want to raise or just sandbag. But no, he checks too. Turn is another 8. Well, if you had an OESD tardo, and where taking a free card, fuck ya. Fish bets $12 into ~$60. Um, okay. I smooth call because I want tardo to raise that donkbet. He does, and I smoothcall. River 3. Balls. Fish checks, I panic and push, hoping someone has 8x somehow. Tardo pushes, fish obviously has to think forever and folds KK. Oops. Tardo shows me 88. I puke.

I mean, what can I say? Technically all the money went in when I was behind and from a FTOP POV he played it perfectly. Um, however, neither of us choose to bet the flop because we figured to have a lock and wanted someone else to make a hand to pay us off with. Actually, I'm not entirely sure why he checked the flop unless he could see my cards. He, being the overaggro tard, is fully expected to bet here with whatever he raised with. That's why I fucking checked to him instead of betting myself. B3B is all very well but in a 3bet pot leading into the PFR is super, super strong. Also, if I lead into him and he raises, fish should dump most of his holdings. Turn play, IDK, I think he raises donkbet with air here some of the time. River, I'm not sure what I was thinking. After fish checked, I push since I would hate to see tardo check behind and I don't think he can bluff again. So I push hoping one of them can call me. Of course, the nuts can call me.

Down 2.5 buyins at FT, that's despite stacking some people with overpairs/sets. From what I can see, this and pushing a combo draw against 2pair account for my biggest loses. Everything else must be breaking even.
