Well I Wonder*

Firstly, congrats to Lucko on winning yet more MTT's, Kevin's on a sick heater at the moment - long may it continue. I'll almost certainly be buying a percentage of him at the WSOP if he does that again this year. 1% of $10million wouldn't be too shabby.

Secondly, and more relevant to the post title, sometimes you have to wonder just what people are thinking online.

I've played against the villain in this hand at higher than 1/2 and actually thought he wasn't too bad, but then he does this against me - not that I'm complaining.

Party Poker
Pot Limit Omaha Ring game
Blinds: $1/$2
6 players

Stack sizes:
MackemPlus1: $372.46
UTG+1: $126.53
CO: $199.95
Button: $212.83
SB: $219.80
BB: $50

Pre-flop: (6 players) MackemPlus1 is UTG with 6d tc ad as
MackemPlus1 raises to $7, UTG+1 calls, CO raises to $26, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds, MackemPlus1 raises to $120, UTG+1 folds, CO calls, SB folds.

Flop: 9h 3c 6s ($275, 2 players)
MackemPlus1 bets $258, CO calls all-in $86.95.
Uncalled bets: $171.05 returned to MackemPlus1.

So, I've raised UTG but this is 6-max and hopefully I'm not pegged as a strictly "only raises AA" player. Villain therefore re-raises and thankfully the terrible SB calls, allowing me to make a bigger re-raise and get it HU.

Now at this point I pretty much have turned my hand face up, and villain could stack me on the right flop. But wtf is he thinking calling off another $87 on that flop with one pair, no draw????

Turn: 9c ($448.9, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $448.9)


River: 3h ($448.9, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $448.9)

Also managed to win a few other hands on other tables, basically by flopping top set, rivering a boat and finding people willing to pay off with their str8s regardless.

Nice to book a solid win for a change.
