So yesterday in the evevning I was pretty tired and didn't want to play no-limit holdem cash games. Instead I just felt like goofing around, playing some donkaments or sth like that. But I decided to give pot-limit omaha a go. There were some nl10 tables on FTP but I figured nl25 will be better and I wouldn't be bothered much even if I lost like 4 buyins. It was the first time I actually played omaha (play money doesn't count) except for the couple of times I played it in a mixed live cash game (no-limit holdem + pot-limit omaha) but I was usually just folding as I didn't want to get involved in awkward spots with no idea where I'm at. I know the rules and I'm aware of some very basic concepts like low flushes usually no good, underfullhouses, bottom set might be not good, 2 pairs are usually mediocre etc etc. But I had no idea about the betting patterns and how to play different spots. But I think I wasn't that awful and I made 4 buyins ($100) in like 2 hours or so of 2tabling so it feld pretty good. I've noticed that it's pretty easy to get people off the hand with constant agression. In the end they started playing back at me a lot but I guess it's normal. I might get involved more into omaha if I'll become a nl200 or nl400 regular in holdem.

Here are some hands so if anyone plays omaha I'd like to hear some comments on certain hands and my general play:

I guess it's not standard? But this guy was bluffing a lot so I thought there's a good chance I'm ahead.

2. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/184486
Ship it.

Meh, I thought he's got like AAKQ or sth and I can get him to fold his overpair. But sucking out was good too.

5. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/184493
This guy was really active so I thought that I'm either ahead with my 2 pairs and if not I still have a flush draw.

6. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/184494
Not sure but I think I was bluffing here.

Now I think it was a very bad call in omaha. Should've folded.

I also had some other fun hands that I forgot to save but whatever.

Now I'm going to study for ~3 hours or so

I'll try to do the whole sample IELTS test (listening, reading, writting and than I'll talk to myself for 15 mins). In the evening I'm going to some birthday party (dinner at a posh restaurant and some clubbing later) but I think I'll don't get pissed and get home early as I want to calm down a bit until the exam. I'm not sure if I'll be able to play today, probably not (unless b-day will suck and I'll get home very early). But a one day break will be good.
