Today was a really slow day due to the whole christmas thing, played a little casual Omaha H/L (0.10$/0.20$ Fixed and 0.25$/0.50$ fixed)…nothing went my way so I donked off some dollars, which I was able to get back (almost everything at least) in heads up play…

Regular play: Donkeys 1-0 Ingoal
Heads Up: Ingoal 1-0 Donkeys

🙂

Played two sessions today and went on a roll right in the first one…played for around an hour and took of with +2x Buy-In nice 🙂

Didn’t catch anything major in the second session and quit relatively fast as I was going nowhere…manage to go out ahead…so I’m not complaining…once again a lovely day at UltimateBet.

Ended the day by donking of 1.5x Buy-In at Omaha H/L 0.01$/0.02$ PL…just couldn’t catch hands even while holding da, possible, nuts (A-A-2-3)…sure enough someone comes through with his pocket kings, no low…etc…not a good session – in fact the first losing session at UB for a while – but I don’t complain, the overall statistics for today are positive, back to hit the tables again tomorrow…

Do you know the feeling when you’re sticking around at a table just a liiiitle bit too long? That’s what just happened at a Limit Omaha H/L table. I played a little 0.10$/0.20$ Limit with 0.05$/0.10$ blinds and really did well for the most part…was up almost 3x buy-in then donked of most of it again in the last two hands I played (still up 1.25x buy-in but still really dumb)…donked off one buy-in when my 2-3 flop 4-5-6 ran into A-2…argh…matching suit too…so no high no low…argh!

Nontheless a positive session as I regained some ground…nontheless I would have been even further in front if I had moved on two hands earlier, but what can you do.

Alrighty, off to watch the WWdN #9 final table now…

Donkey is what donkey do…played 0.05$/0.10$ Pot Limit Omaha H/L and how unlucky can you be? Pushers at the table you look down at hands like K-K-3-5, Q-Q-3-6, 10-10-4-4, K-K-6-6 and none of it comes through (neither high nor low)….then you hold the best hand at the time, unless another player would hold A-2…and sure enough he does…two buy-in down the drain…

Nontheless I’ll continue to try my luck over next few days as I just reread the terms & conditions for the sign-up bonus (200%) and they’re quite horrible – maybe I should have read them before depositing…1 point awarded in each .50$ raked hand (yeah right, I would need to gamboool for MAJOR cash to even see such rakes) or for a 1$ tournament fee…and yes, 100 = 10$…argh!)…so my solution is easy: either I go broke at AbsolutePoker or I reach the withdrawal threshold (50$)… – seems that going broke is the more likely possibility though 🙁

Played two sessions of Omaha H/L 0.01$/0.02$ PL today. Wasn’t able to scoop as much as I wanted, but stayed ahead in both sessions and cleared some more of my bonus. So all in all two successfull sessions.

On another note: It comes in quite handy to start off a table or hit it as a second player as you get 25% more UltimatePoints…especially when you’re trying to clear your bonus, like me.

What can I say, I couldn’t resist to test my card run over at PokerStars in Omaha H/L Pot Limit – after all the cards were falling the right way for me the whole day. Bad idea, I’ve never donked off a Buy-In so quick…2hands…great, just great…not a high note to finish the day with…

Played two sessions of Omaha H/L 0.01$/0.02$ antes, Pot Limit. Things really went my way, especially in the first session (this afternoon), went out with +3x Buy-In 🙂

Things didn’t go all that smooth in the second session and I donked out 1.5x Buy-In, but at least I had fun and got some more UltimatePoints to clear my bonus.

Favourite hands (session 2):
1. Four Kings – was too slow to make a screenshot, but here’s the hand history:

Showdown:
Ingoal shows 9h 6s Ks Js.
Ingoal has Ks Js Kh Kd Kc: four kings (high).
Ingoal has no qualifying low hand.
Player2 mucks cards.
(Player2 has Ac As Td Qc.)

2. Four Jacks: – a picture says more than thousand words (although I only yell the usual ‘Dem Quads Beetches!’ 😉 )

Played some Omaha H/L (or Omaha 8b how they call it at UB). I thought playing the 0.01$/0.02$ Pot Limit tables would be a good idea – and after donking my first buy-in off it really was. After the rebuy I kept hitting some nice nice cards (A-A-A-2, A-A-2-3, etc) and scoop quite some pots as there was no low hand or mine was the nuts. Groovy…especially when you play Pot Limit and it’s obvious that there is no low hand and you hold the nuts flush (in this case As-Ks) – one player not only calling but reraising…hmm…call! He holds Js-Qs 🙂

Nice one…played for over an hour and went out with roughly +2x buyin…nice…and I’m on my way to clear my bonus, too. Ever so slowly, but at least steadily…

So, I decided to try my luck with 7 stud H/L on absolute poker and couldn’t get my feet on the ground here either. Played on a 0.10$/0.25$ table with a 0.01$ ante and could only scoop one pot before donkeying off my stack (2$) again…back to the drawing board…
