I have to give "tferg21" some credit. Two hands before this one I had filled up and slowplayed him into a trap and this time he was smart enough to recognize a pattern and get suspicious when I tried to do it again, even when he had made full house in the face of apparent weakness.

Very rarely in Omaha is it wise to keep giving free draws to your opponents, but flopping quads from the small blind is one of them: I had to hit the brakes and pray that someone caught a piece of the board for a lesser high hand (and that the lows would miss, too).

The T on the river was simply beautiful because it gave my opponent a reason to bet and it took away the low. He only called my reraise - 90% of the players in these microlimit games would have come back over the top and it would have become really bloody really quickly. Like I said, he played it well.

By "really bloody" do you mean that you might have scooped a pot worth $1.44 instead of only 72 cents?

Wait, I guess you couldn't win a pot worth $1.44, because he only had 51 cents left.

Might've bought you a Diet Coke though (vending machine, not fountain drink).

Yup. But my philosophy is that you can tear an ACL in practice just as easily in the Rose Bowl. I'll save my real money for real people.

Anonymous, send me an email and I'll invite you to the next Omaha game in the garage. Then we can talk about "bloody"?
