Still playing with focus

I've still been playing mostly Omaha with some mixed results. I attempted moving up to a bigger game and got thorougly thrashed. Did I make mistakes here? Well ya, but the biggest pot that I've ever lost (about $900) I got in with the best hand (Broadway straight). I got all in on the flop and someone with a naked flush draw got all in with me, which left me with a pot equity of almost 70%. Alas, the flush card came and my stack left.

To take a small break from Omaha, I have been mixing Holdem play as well. On Friday nights, my dad and I head to a local card room and play a $65 tournament (I won it once for a nice score) and after busting out I usually take a crack at the $1/2 NL game buying in for $200. Last week after I busted out and unfortunately (at least I thought at the time) there was not a $1/2 game running yet as not enough players were busted. Instead, a $2/5 game was just starting up. Now, I normally don't play this big of blinds but I thought "what the hell". I bought in for $200 just like I would for the $1/2 game to limit my losses while I felt this new limit out. As it turns out, my crazy Omaha games got me pretty used to the bigger bet sizes and preventing it from affecting my play or playing "scared". NEVER play a limit or stack in which you are playing with "scared money". Ok, so back to the game. I found some rediculously horrible players with a couple decent ones and certainly no really good players here. In fact, I found the absolute worst player that I have ever seen. This player insisted on seeing EVERY FLOP. If the bet was less than $50 preflop he would actually call with any two cards LOL. And after the flop he would call you with overs or after catching any piece of the board. Retardedly people still attempted to bluff while he was still in the pot, and he managed to catch a few good hands so he built up quite a stack. This while literally seeing EVERY flop. It's pretty hard to overcome paying on average 15 bucks a hand preflop but he did it. I went out of my way to get in pots with this guy with some pretty weak holdings preflop to attempt to get some nice hands to value bet. Well, by the end of the night I built my $200 stack to $779 for a nice score after only 3 hours of play. That was last week. This week the $2/5 game didn't start until right as I was leaving (although I scored over $200 profit from the $1/2 game) and the horrible player from last week I saw entering the building right as I left. I may need to start coming later as this game seems pretty soft. A really big factor in making money playing poker is game selection. If you find one this soft, you bless the stars!
