EDIT: This is a more fitting blog title.
Totally face stomped LOL
Yes, it's every bit as bad as it looks - got straight up demolished by some guy HU  I was up a quick 4 buyins on him, coolering the hell out of him left and right.
Then it turns out I'm pretty shit at deep PLO and not all that great at dealing with 30% 3bet either. Guy played very well (in my opinion) and I might have to practice avoidance vs him in the future. Went from +800$ vs him to -140$ (+12.80$ on the session, ship the cheeseburgers).
My session started out brilliantly (like every other HU session I have ever played) by dropping 2 buyins in 4 hands:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774567 - (2 hands in one!)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774568 - weak.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774569 - Check/behind owned me T_T
However, after this followed a serious boomswitch:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774572 - nhnh
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774573 - Sweet 500bb pot. Would have tilted soooo hard if he rivered me (he has 45% equity on turn).
Next, my eventual nemesis sat down. To make the match fair, the poker gods boomswitched me:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774626 - Boomswitch Begins
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774622 - Boomswitch The Second Coming
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774623 - Boomswitch Returns
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774621 - Boomswitch Episode 1 which is really Episode 5.
Now, that was fun. I knew I'd be playing a little bad now (I tend to play bad when up a lot) but I'm never gonna quit someone whom I've won 4 buyins off in like 50 hands. He deserves at least a couple of hours IMO (even though I could tell he wasn't a bad player).
Cue come back:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774620 - "Lol I'm up so much money, I can do anythin... damnit"
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774617 - Oops.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774618 - I am not sure what he had here, I would sort of assume a wrap, because a few hands later he just c/c twice with second set on a similiarly dry board, very weird given this hand I would say. Not sure what to think.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774647 - See above. Really confused.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774616 - I really, really, really should pull the trigger here  Ahhhhhhhh, I need to borrow some of Freak's heart.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774615 - No idea what I'm doing here on the turn - I guess protection betting? Maybe I was tired and didn't realize I had a second ace? I'm not sure, it's a bit of a mess.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774641 - My feeling is that if he's gonna bluff he'd do it on the turn, since by betting the river it's basically the easiest call for me to make? >_<
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774644 - I hate bottom 2 -.-
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774645 - Was gonna check ship turn... Hm. Meh.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774646 - What to do on turn here? I know he likes to c/c A LOT after 3betting, even with pretty decent draws.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774614 - Only all-in I lost vs him THAT's how badly he stomped on me.
Session saving hand:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/774624
LOTS more 25 bb pots lost, his redline is basically a copy of Isildur's I think I played pretty well at 100bb and maybe even 150bb, but at 200+ I just got really, really, really raped. I sort of stopped 3betting because I didn't feel comfortable 3betting marginal hands deep, but then I just ended up check/folding or leading too much and I feel like I didn't really get much momentum playing this way.
I also should have 4bet A LOT wider (I actually 4bet folded a KK** hand once when really deep which I immediately realized what a terrible mistake that was, no idea what I was thinking, we were literally like 300bb deep), which is something I did a little bit of in the beginning when still reasonably shallow and at the end (IIRC) once shallow again.
So I think I'm gonna try to work in a lot more 3bets, I think it was difficult to play against. And, as above, work on incorporating more hands into my 4betting range instead of just calling.

Ahhhhh, I totally forgot about the most important thing I picked up from all the Isildur vs world railing - min4betting when deep in PLO to re-take initiative and open up the possiblity of a 6bet.
I think next time I get into this situation I'm gonna take a 30 second break and just re-focus. |

Nono, heads up omaha is the BEST THING EVER.
I'm down about 1.3k past 3 days of playing but it doesn't matter, I still feel fine after every session. I'm gonna play exclusively HU omaha for the next good while. |
