Hand from SAT. Night.


Last hand of the night for me was brutal.


PLO8. I’m in late position. Holding A/8/6/4 (6 and 4 are suited spades). I have about 180 behind me. Drunk off his ass Jason (host) has about 150 ish behind him. He was drunk, slurring, playing blind, potting none stop. Good fun. Just seriously drunk playing (blind raises, ect…).


Limps to him, he pots it blind. Couple of calls to me. I pot it (yes, aggressive, but I’ve done this a couple of times with Jason tonight and was able to isolate him into a heads up situation and take advantage of him.


I think my pot bet was 16. Folds to Jason. He calls, everyone else folds (6 handed table).


40 in the pot I believe.


Flop is A/8/5 with the 8 and 5 being spades.


Jason is first to act. He checks (his play has been unpredictably/drunk, and mostly bad). I pot it. He instant shoves. It’s going to cost me about another 100 to finish this hand.


I take about 3 minutes thinking about it before finally calling.


He rolls over A/j/8/5 all red.


Turn is a King, River is a King and he scoops with a better two pair.

I know I didn't play this top notch. I was as much playing the drunk host as much as I was playing my hand. I'm sure the math guys are going to tell me I could get away from the 100 call. I'm sure your right. The way Jason was playing and as drunk as he was I'm not sure he could have even read his cards, lol.

Anyways, feel free to let me know how you would have played it. What I did bad, good, or nothing at all.

I don't post many hands.

I was one, 60.00 buy in deep. Ended up losing 20 on the night.

I played several big pots. Got rivered on a three outer for a 200'ish pot. Dude called me down all the way in NLHE with an opened ended straight draw. Just want I want, just not results. Shit happens. It was still a fun night and it allowed me to get the key west chips into play

That old variance bitch bit you sir! But you invited her to the table.

Hero takes advantage of a sequence of mistakes by a drunk villain and gets his money in with an edge. But we all know about Omaha and its wicked, sneaky ways. Still Hero should be happy with the process if not the results.

Wouldn't change a thing -=- DrStrange

Thank you for the comments. Drunk was running hot against a few other guys at the table. Probably half of my profit at this point was directly from him in situations like this.

I am happy with the process (after I thought about it the next day). I probably wouldn't change the way I played it. Got to play cards all night. Was in position to win enough to maybe buy another chip set :) (or not sell the Key Wests when my cpc set comes in) and in the end lost 20 bucks. Ms Variance and I go way back. She's usually on my side.
 
Fold pre. You have a horrible 2-way hand for hi lo.

As played, pot bet on flop seems ok vs drunktard. But you must fold to the all-in. Could easily be getting freerolled by 236x or 237x, 2367, a set, better spades with top pair and overs, etc.

Thank you sir. I absolutely won't disagree with the suggestion of the folding pre-flop. However, I was trying to play/isolate as many hands as I could with the drunkard as he was playing any two, three, and four cards (HOPE format). Anyone else at the table and I play this hand completely different. This dude was the ultimate Loose Aggressive bad drunk player.

Numbers wise, your probably right about folding to the 100 shove. Knowing his wide range of hands. I don't think I could to be honest.

Fold pre was my first inclination as well obv, but I have to agree that it's a good enough hand to iso the blind raising drunk guy. Still, you better be very, very, very sure that everyone else is getting out of the way because that hand plays pretty poorly after the flop if you have anyone with any semblance of a hand in there. Maybe in that sense it's still a fold because you're going to sometimes pick up a caller from the field.

Flop is autoplay versus drunktard.

Not sure how you got scooped, though. You had 6s4s for low and he had no low...
 
I'm also in the fold pre camp. As far as the flop goes, against this particular villain I'm fine with getting it in. We have a decent multi-way hand heads-up, so there's a good shot we can walk away with half the pot and possibly scoop villain. Now, against other villians in other spots the fold may be the best play. But I think your villians range is wide enough to get it in on the flop

Yeah, meant to add this to my first post. Hero can't be sure low is good or that spades are good, but as played shoulda been a chop!
 
Only problem I have is potting pre with this hand. Other than that I thought it was pretty standard, you just got bit by variance. Also, like Butler said, you should have had low. Did you have it and not see it, or was the flop different than what you thought?

That was the flow of the table. It seemed that several were frustrated with his loose, aggressive betting (tons of blind raising, lol). As a sober player that night. I love that shit. Makes it easy to play against. This was the third or fourth time I had done something similar. Everyone kept letting me get heads up with him.

Flopped a set in crazy pineapple vs him early for a huge pot. He was playing top pair, mediocre kicker.

Flop was A, 8, x two suited (he had bet 3 blind pre flop with 4 callers). Flop comes out and somebody bets 6 bucks. He raises 15 (he did look at this point). I made it 40 with my set of 8's. First better folds. He shoves for 30 more. I call roll my hand over and it holds up.

His statement "I thought you were betting the draw, or you had a worse kicker). Sure thing drunk, thanks :)
 
As above - fold pre, like for realz. If it limps to you on the button, you should not put in the 50 cents with this hand. If given the choice to play one of the hands in your preflop spot, I would pick villain's blind hand over this one. I GUESS 3-betting to isolate with it is better than calling though...

Flop is literally the best you could ever hope for, and against a drunk spewtard stacking off here should be automatic.

Also yes, you should have half the pot with the low. Amazing spot for you really. :)

must have typed it wrong. There wasn't a low. It was late. Let me send a text, lol.
 
My buddy read this thread and was offended by it. He is a good friend of mine. I just want to apologize.

Your buddy as in Jason, I assume? Jason, mellow out. We're all the aggro drunktard in a session at some point. I would think less of my friends if they didn't capitalize on my spewing. It's all in good fun.
 
Flat pre, nothing wrong with playing fit or fold with this hand against a villain in his state.
