back in blighty....

Last post I was flying home in a few hours yet had lost my passport. Surprise surprise called a local bar up and it was in there! Flight home as ever was a pleasure on Virgin Atlantic. They are far superior to any other airline I have ever used and I am guessing I have used 20+.

First day back I decided to try some omaha cash, immediately I made a profit then lost this hand to go $2000 in profit in 5 minutes, i eventually left the table $100 up.

This hand pretty much sums up how easy it is to make money on omaha cash if you play solid. When the flop pairs it definitely is not good to call bets let alone reraise or chase with draws. The really bad players even call with non nut flush/straight draws when they could be drawing dead.

Next I catch a fish and win 2/2 $200 hu omaha SNG during the second he asks me to play him 5/10 plo cash. He is sat with $480 and usually I would not sit in as it looks like it is the last money in his account and if so the potential loss outweighs the potential win. I am losing around $6000 and pull back some and am sitting with $2500, this is too deepstacked for the cypriot fish luckbox who leaves and I am minus £2500 to him. At the last check I have pulled back around £1500 of the £2500 loss and am currently down £1000 today. So no big deal, longterm I will make plenty versus the omaha fish.

Now to try and get a few more dolla before I go to sleep.....
