In Response to Re: Can an old dog learn new tricks? : Ok so it's a bad beat story from flop onwards... However I am not sure you should have seen a flop with that hand. Not much going for it to be limping in the early stages of a DYM encouraging a multi-way pot and even less reasons to be caling a preflop raise. No A, very weak low and only 1 flush option and no real str8 options. There are not many flops you are going to like - very lucky to hit a K+low pair. How many other flops are you going to like and stay in the pot with? Multi-way as a limp-caller you will be lucky to have a flop you can realistically bluff at. Posted by Phantom66
Yup you're perfectly right not an ideal starting hand. In my defence I do try and vary my play as it makes things more interesting and hopefully makes me more difficult to read. The call of the pre flop reraise was certainly suspect and I think I was tilting a little (see post in BBV for reasons why!)
Next time with a KKxx starting hand if I see a flop I shall be folding anything less than a KKx flop and even then if the Ace flops I shall consider folding - too much chance of being outdrawn by the case A with my opponent holding AAxx!

Tom!
Was great to see you join us for some Plopper fun last night.
It's not as though it really matters who wins though. If I win, I wouldn't think of reminding you in the chat-box of the result. Almost hourly. Never tiring of it. Banging on and on and on about the final score. Nope. That just wouldn't happen. Telling you what I am having/had for dinner and reminding you (again, repeatedly) of the final score. No, not all. At all. Never. Just wouldn't happen.
Much.
PS. Just a reminder, below is what up to stake for the challenge!
As a forfeit, if Mr. K wins after 100 games, I promise wholeheartedly to never mention food or twiglets ever again in the chat-box. Mr. K has said (in front of witnesses I hasten to add) he will wear a tee shirt on TV, with the logo "I Love Macacgirl" whilst eating a packet of twiglets.

Won nicely @ £3.30 & £11, but got absolutely battered @ £5.50. Don't think I did too much wrong, just kept getting coolered or outdrawn - much as I kept coolering or outdrawing others when I was running super hot.
Amazing thing, this variance malarky.
A few nights before, when I won 14 or 15, I was not involved, or even saw, the "final hand". I'd be montoring my other tables, playing hands or whatever, & suddenly that lovely white box would pop up - "YOU HAVE WON £xx". On one occasion, whilst 6 tabling, THREE of them popped up within seconds of each other, so I'd won 3 in a row & not even been involved in the bustout hand, lovely. Last night, by contrast, I seemed to be involved in EVERY bustout hand, one side or the other.
I had to turn the chat off on one table, due to some inappropriate comments, first time I've ever done that. Generally, the Ploppers are a great bunch & the banter is fantastic.
Anyway, slipped back below £1,400, but only by a quid.
Strange night, quite pleased to nearly get out of it in the end, as I managed to lose 6 of the first 7 games. If you can get out of a hole like that, it's always a great result.
I'm around tonight, then that's me done until Monday, as I have the Show tomorrow, & will have company all weekend.
There were some cracking hands last night, both ways, & so I'm going to list a few. A mixture of outdraws & bad beats, for & against, just to give NLH players of how much action, & fun, PLO & PLO8 give us. We get more crackerjack hands in a night than NLH players get in a month!
These are a mixture, both ways, but are a typical example of what we see in PLO & PLO8.
Very first game last night, it came J-5-5, 2 hearts, & I had A-J-x-x. "Retropete" flatted me, & I thought "he's flushing, pair the board".
BOOM, turn was another heart & I hit my full house, & I bet again. I'm gonna have ALL his chips. I am.
He flatted again.
River was another heart, I bet again, he moved in, lovely, I insta-called, & expected the chips to slide across to me.
His Royal Flush was good. (Well done Pete!).
My next two exits were near identical - I flopped a set of kings in both, & in both cases they runner-runnered straights.
I then flopped quad two's, boom. (Against Macac, all the sweeter).
Next hand on adjacent table, I flopped quad jacks & got the lot.
Then I bet with A-K-6-2, missed everything on a flop of J-J-5. I felt my man was on the Low - he always calls for any low - so I C-Bet all-in & he snap-called. Was a bit suprised when he called me with A-2-7-8, with only backdoor draws. Turn was a blank, river was the 7 to give him the lot!

Thgis is all pretty standard stuff in PLO & PLO8.
