Don't try this at home!

Ok, so I decided I just had to get money back into an internet poker site. I figured FullTilt was my best option as I get a decent rakeback there of 27%. The only way which seems like it was going to work to get money in was epassport but the damn site took 10 days to get $300 bucks into and that was the max I could put in! Well today I finally put $295 from epassport into Fulltilt ($5 was a fee to get money into epassport from my bank account). So I played for about 7 hours starting with that $295 and was down to $42 playing $.5/$1 and $.25/$.5 Pot Limit Omaha after getting donkey raped every damn hand. All my draws were missing and all my sets were getting rundown by other players' draws. I was getting really pissed and pretty much on insta-tiltomatic. Just about anything was setting me off. Now I figured with $42 bucks I really didn't have enough to play many tables so wanted to either go bust or get a real stake back. So I jumped up to a $1/2 blinds table which really still isn't that big of stakes but with $42 it was all I could join. After 2 hours of some crazy luck against really really bad players I am now still playing and have over $700 in my stack! Don't try this at home!!!

Pot Limit Omaha is amaaaaazing!

Again I apologize for lack of updates. I'm not sure what will get me posting regularly. Anyways, I was playing $2/5 No Limit Holdem on Sunday over at the Venetian. I was down a couple hundred when the table broke and there since it was 8am Monday morning, the room was basically now dead. There was a $1/2 table running with a donator (ie fish giving away money) so I got on the list for that. In the meantime, I looked over at the only other table running and it happened to be Pot Limit Omaha (PLO). I've never played PLO before live, but I wanted to here. Only problem was that the game was running with $5/10 blinds which is pretty big and over my comfort level. I sat and watched the table for for a round and wow did it look juicy (ie really bad players), so I just had to take a shot. I bought in for short for $500 and most people at the table had between $2k and $10k in front of them. After 11 hours of play with possibly the worst PLO players ever, I cashed out pretty well. Two of the players had actually never played PLO before... like ever... and it really showed. One of them kept forgetting that you needed to play 2 cards from your hand. I hope to find more games like that!
