KAJA is (the) nuts

I donked it up real nice in the RiverChasers last night. I think the problem may have been the fact that I had 6 (yes, six!) games going on at the same time. There was a Tier 1 and Tier 2 token (which I won both), a 180 $10SNG on PS (which I bubbled the final table in true KajaDonk fashion), a 360 $9.90 on PS (which I came close to cashing in but KajaDonked it up again) and another 180 $4 on PS. So six tournaments. Cashed in 3 - I like the results - could have been muchos muchos better than that.

Anything fun to share other than that? Let me think for a sec. Ok, here are some screen shots for fun:

1) This is why it's called the RiverChasers. This guy check called all the way to the river and then called with JackAce high. We love it!



2) In the 360 $9.90 I was all the way down to 130 chips (last place with about 300 still playing) and managed to work my way back up to 3rd before flaming out. Some friendly guy at my table was trying to start a sing-a-long of "Too Shy" which was hilarious. So then I naturally played hard against him and slow played my monster all the way to the river. When the Ace showed up I typed in "crap" and activated the time clock. Then I moved all in for a wonderful over-bet for value and he called and I almost felted him. Good times:



3) In the 180 $10SNG I was moved to a table in the middle of the following hand with three players all-in. Yes, that's right, boat over boat over baby flush. That made me laugh:



4) One more example how the FTP RNG loves the club flush. Guy min-raised with Aces and I called from the BB with trash. Flop the tiny-teeny-wittle-baby flush draw and bet pot. He thinks for a bit and calls. My flush arrives on the turn so I push and he calls and rivers the nuts. FU FTP RNG once again!!!



6) Now to the real reason we're here today. I was so bored and had nothing to do so I fired up the dumbest, donkiest poker game invented. I think I am going to make this my new best friend. Yes folks, we're talking 'bout good-ole' LIMIT Omaha hi/lo - Whaaaaaa? They play this shit in limit too? Must be a helluva game, then. So this was just a $2 single table SNG and I went to town on these poor guys. I don't think I called once the whole time unless someone was all-in and I couldn't raise again or the pot was capped. It was raise, raise, raise all day long. I think I eliminated at least 2/3 of the table. Eventually made it to heads up with the only decent player (mind you, I did not say 'other decent player' because by no means do I consider myself to be a decent LIMIT Omaha hi/lo player or any other form of Omaha). I had him out chipped about 10-to-3.5 (math is hard, y'all) and it took us longer to finish the heads up than it did to get there. I think we played over 80 hands until I crushered him into submission. It took a total of 1 hour and 12 minutes and I won 9 whole bucks (minus buy-in and rake, lol).

I think LOHL (Limit Omaha hi/lo) may be the real poker equivalent of Pai Gow.
