Played an hour or so online, 3-6 holdem no limit...played a 300 stack and won first two hands, small pots but always nice to start well.

Here's one for the weekly game fellas: I raise preflop on the button and get one caller. Flop comes jack high, 4 5...I check and raise other guys 20 wager with same amount, he calls. Turn brings a king...I lead out for 100 straight and he calls again after thinking awhile, think he is on a weak jack. River brings the 6 and I pop it for 200. Assuming he has the jack, what do you do? I have only a buck or two left so a raise means nothing here and if he calls and loses I would have taken about 60% of his stack.
He ended up folding without showing...I had absolutely nothing so I either had to just run up the surrender flag or fire one more shot. Since he didn't raise me at any point in hand I never felt he made two pair which would be an automatic call. Maybe he had J 10 or Q J, who knows. I took the muck option off and flashed the table my offsuit 8 10! Try and get them to give me action because now I am going into full rock mode, no more bluffs (was the only one I did in session.)

I got KK in the big blind and someone had raised the pot 20 preflop. I decided to re-raise though I am sure I could have smooth called and then check raised any flop without an ace or three connected cards. Decided to throw out the line and see if QQ or JJ was out there for the hammering. No such luck, guy folded :(

Had 22 early on but faced a raise in front of me with two to act behind me...was afraid of a re-raise and decided to fold. Sure enough guy behind me raises 45 which would have ended it right there for me. Here is the bad part...flop comes 9 5 2! ka-ching...I would have pulled 300 easy there, would have made boat 2's and 9's...re-raiser had KK. KK putting his whole stack in on flop if I play it right but alas I was already out.

That's all I remember as the game was adjourned for the ringing dinner bell...mustard chicken with rice and beans dominates six handed hold'em. Nice to be back at an online table since I haven't played since early winter.

Hi there, iv just read your previous post regarding PL Omaha and cap flying across the room antics. If you are playing wihtin your bankroll (i.e. no more than 5% ever in risk on the cash tables then bad beats dont even hurt after a while).
With regard to advertising, bets to do it really cheaply tbh.
I think some of the links on doubleas.blogspot.com have great writeups of Omaha hands btw (i saw your post on BenGundy's site).

regards, gl.
