We finished last month with some pretty big bangs

https://www.cardschat.com/forum/tournament-poker-59/millionaire-march-tournament-thread-220542/

https://www.cardschat.com/forum/poker-goals-challenges-wins-46/record-big-wins-127354-new/

Kornholio's Fantastic Bovada Win $23K +

Marges $6k+ FT win

And I had a live win on Saturday for $2110.

Korns win knocks me out of 10th place in the big win record and that actually thrills me. It will translate to new motivation!

Makes me extra proud to be a CC'er today!:D

I'm doing a live Limit O8 game this afternoon at the Bicycle Club.

Which event Jilly?

That limit O8 game doesn't start till 6 this evening, and I woke up way early today, so I am now doubtful I will play that one.:(

I am however blessed to have lots of tourneys going on every day within a short drive (short = < 20 miles). And I got the urge........;)

Had a really good month. Got my best cash by binking the Hot $5.50 on PS and won 2 other tourneys as well. They were both small PLO tourneys but still felt good. Same again in April please. Didn't play much over the weekend cos I was away.

WTG bluff!! Very cool!

Yesterday the 'but one', was a goofy $3k freeroll on Everest (figured I'd play my iPoker mtt's on Everest while they had that Fabsoul1 $3k freeroll on there at same time). Kept waiting to bust out of it but ended up final-tabling it 1800+ players. (the cash almost covered half my buyins on the day... woo hoo!!! lol)

Had a couple of $500 weekends in March so it wasn't too bad. Need to get back to crushing the $-addeds in April (although they're getting harder to find these days - had back-to-back bubbles in those $16.50buyins on Betsafe /PokerTube... smallest payout was ~$100)

Just about always, I'd happily gii otf since I'm either dominating or still have decent equity. I think when he min-raised me otf I said something like "gtfo of here, you kidding me?" That bet is just stupid-bizarre to me. I'm thinking what hand do I beat that he thinks it's ok to vbet whilst giving me great odds. I was flatting cause I was almost certain I was beat and hoping to donk. I think the last piece to the puzzle was that he triple-barreled. If he hadn't, I'd have gotten it in for him otr.

Yesterday I played 2 live tourney's. In the first I didn't see a playable hand for 2 hours, so that when I finally did bet, everyone folded. Shortly after that I was blinding down fairly fast and ended up all in with QJs against TT. Hit my J but it filled his straight.

The 2nd was a Limit O8 game. My first O8 tourney. Very interesting. A dealers nightmare being a split pot game. At my first table there were 2 peeps who could read the board faster and better than any of the dealers, who were only as fast and accurate as I am. Good thing those 2 peeps were there, it is so different from online that for sure I prefer online O8.

At the second table, I got it all in with a set of Q's against 4 players. Was ahead till the river. Cest le Vie.

Everyone should, at some point, play a live hi/lo tourney. It will make you really appreciated Online play.

The Omaha crowd seems different than the HE crowd. Friendlier IMO.

I've always wondered how difficult hi/lo games are for live dealers. Seems like it'd be chaotic. Sorry to hear about the card deadness. Best of luck in your next game.

Chaos pretty much sums it up. I did play a stud Hi/lo cash game and it was almost as chaotic, difference there I think were the dealers who seemed pretty comfortable dealing it.

I should add that it did provide plenty of laughs....

In. Playing terrible. Looking to study/build my bankroll this month
@OMG, yeah I was having the same problem. Turn on add tournament summary, but it still misses some if you're multitabling. You just gotta put it in manually.
