[Celeval]

I'm registered at AP. This is Omaha H/L, though, isn't it? Never played that...

[TLK]

Hmmmmm.... it's not a Holdem' tournament..... guess I have an hour to master Omaha H/L....

[Fouts]

[AnalBumCover]

[Fouts]

Lost to a higher flush, I gotta remember everyone has a good hand in this game.

[TLK]

I'm out.... I could of done a lot better, but just wasn't into it... That game could be fun, once I figure the ins and outs....

[sooner333]

[Wasabiak]

[Robbiero67]

[Robbiero67]

[JHandley]

I'm in at Stars...my handle is Holden182

[TLK]

It looks like there's a whole bunch of FOFCers at Stars....

[Wasabiak]

Finished #154 in AP, my A high flush lost to 4 of a kind. Oh well, on to the next one.

[Wasabiak]

I don't know.........I think i like that Omaha. I was really getting into it.

[Turd Ferguson]

Im in Pokerstars tourney tonite..... Aggie12

[AnalBumCover]

i gotta really tighten up... my table's full of loose callers.

[sooner333]

Wow...that was quick. I guessed someone was doing a bluff all-in, i had 4 hearts on the flop, so I just took my chances, lost to the pair. Anyway, I'm glad I won the $14 off my friends in very-low stakes Hold'em in real life and had an early exit in this tournament.

[TLK]

Taking it easy.... sitting with 2,280

[Wasabiak]

same here.....1930

[AnalBumCover]

1060

[AnalBumCover]

thank God, i moved tables....

[TLK]

nh Wasabiak

[sooner333]

btw, if you have 4 of the same suit on the flop what are your odds of winning the pot? I'm sort of beginning and playing a lot by feel here, but I enjoy it.

[AnalBumCover]

not getting the cards... i'm sitting on $985

[Wasabiak]

3530

[Wasabiak]

Whew.........4295, just won a nice pot on 2 pair

[AnalBumCover]

geez... that sucked.

[AnalBumCover]

finally i get a hand, KK. and lose to a made flush with a 84 suited in the hole.... dude called my preflop raise with it. granted he was on the button.

but these 4000+ player tournaments are chock full of loose players. they'll call anything.

[TLK]

Chinaski is at 5,800

[TLK]

I can't believe I just did that..... I was clicking around watching everyone's games and acciidently called 2,000 on a shit hand.... rotten luck

[petrochile]

Go Hank (aka Chinaski) :)

[Wasabiak]

I made the break with $9800. Man, this is intense.

[Wasabiak]

My goal this round is to give Greek Tycoon guy his walking papers.

[Robbiero67]

Hanging in there at the break as well...nearly lost it all, but have battled back to 3k :).

[Wasabiak]

[SirFozzie]

Go Wasabiak. Make sure you do good for all of us working FOFCers who can't participate (IE, ME!!!)

[TLK]

Chinaski is still around too.... 19,000+

[Wasabiak]

My first 2nd break, and im at 38,800. I'm starting to get a bit tired. Man, i had 3 awesome hands that round. But the cards started getting sour the last half hour or so. I need to come on strong again.

[Wasabiak]

table 201

[TLK]

Good luck to both of you guys...... I'm calling it a night.... I have to work in about two hours (thank God it's only a half-day)....

[Wasabiak]

up to 89k

[Wasabiak]

3rd break, at about 90k

Anyone else left?

[SirFozzie]

Your watchword here: PATIENCE.

Especially at this time of the morning.

[Wasabiak]

Some slapnut gave me shit about staying in with pocket dueces. i got a duece on the river. He got pissed. I told him to bite me. Is that rude of me? I'm so damn tired, i can't even see. lol, this is funny, im losing it.

[Wasabiak]

im at 160k........man oh man

[Wasabiak]

<sigh>.......Well, i cracked under the pressure. Finished 35th. By far the best i've done, but i let the head games get to me. There were a couple really slapnuts on that last table i was at, and they kinda threw me out of my groove. But anyway, it was fun. I'm going to bed now.

[hoopsguy]

Congrats on a couple of nice runs, Wasabiak. I'm bummed I didn't know about the Omaha tournament - would have enjoyed giving it a go. I don't think I'm particularly good at the game, but have played it enough at AP to feel pretty confident against many of the regulars at the free pot-limit games there. In general, those games are more enjoyable than the all-in fests for play money at AP.

[Celeval]

Nice night, Wasabiak - a couple of decent finishes.

Todd Next time that happens, shut off their chat mode. They're purposely trying to throw you off. That's their game. So ignore it, and you have your edge back.

Heck, I sometimes shut off their pictures if it distracts my attention.

About 1.8 to 1 against to complete your flush. Winning the pot obviously depends on many other factors.

Well there are 13 cards of each suit so you basically had 9 outs to make the flush. I think you had a 19% chance of hitting another card to make the flush, but my math could be off. That also doesnt take into account the number of players that were dealt cards with the same suit as you.



Edited to fix stupid mistake pointed out :D

[MJ4H]

Yeah your math is off. 13-4 is 9 :) It's also about 38% I believe.

[Airhog]

that high? Im my caculations I subtracted the 5 cards that he has seen from the deck. Should you also subtract the cards that have been dealt to other players? But wouldnt this increase the odds too much?

[MJ4H]

According to Brunson's Super System it's 1.86 to 1 against and 34.97% to complete your flush if you flop four suited (page 577).
