I was supposed to play with @utgtrash last night at a home game, but work got in the way and I couldn’t make it. Once I was done with work, the poker itch was real, so I stopped by the 100/200/400 PLO game that plays in the sunset hills, around midnight. I assumed the game would be full, but it’s a lot of action, and I wanted to just watch.
There was an open seat, and I have credit there.
I bought in to match the top stack, $170k.
The hand I’m about to show you is probably the craziest runner-runner I’ve ever hit in my life, and I was so shocked, I didn’t even take pics. But the guy next to me did, so the following pictures are courtesy of him.
I look down at
in middle position and am limped to, but there is a double straddle to $800 at the cut off. I raise to $3000 and get mostly folds, but calls from both the straddle and double straddle.
The flop is
.
Both preflop callers check to me. I decide to C-bet and see what’s what. I bet $9000.
Straddle goes all in for $24k, double straddle (craziest, loosest player I’ve ever encountered, bluffs 50% of the time) repots. Doesn’t realize he usually does this when he has air. I somehow think my pair of $5s is good, and if I repot to put him all in, he most likely will run it twice. He has plenty of money, so the sidepot might be huge and I could be 50/50 on it. So I repot to put him all in.
We all decide to run it twice.
My hand:
The two runs of the board:
~$80k main pot, $76k side pot.
EDIT: Straddle mucked, but said he had Aces with a Jack, and double straddle showed

Gotta love Omaha. I’d love to know what your opponents have to understand how bad this beat was to them.
