i dont know if theyre was warning but like they have been updating all god damn night its really starting to piss me off... not to mention the two donkeys i had to deal with at the brm freeroll this morning. i should have just been happy with my double threw one of them but i had to get an ace king the next hand ofcourse and then it all went down hill

I've losed with A7s vs Q5 in the 5k. 6 players left and I had to go all-inn. He called me and the flop comes up with x55, and that was my end In that moment I wish there was a serverupdate

Hi all!!
When i read 'blablabla.. donks... blabla all are fish...' I usually smile. Guys, do you really want to play with players that do things right?! That always have good reads of our 3-bets? That know what usually means 'call pre, call flop, check-reraise turn'? etc,etc...

I was going to play that 1000 point freeroll but now I seem to have problems logging in. I never had before... So I came to think of this thread I saw earlier.
What do you people say, are they back online, or not. And if they are, did the update f*ck something up?
(I don't know how long my ticket will last, I got it as a birthdaygift like over a month ago, and I haven't had the time to use it.)
Edit: Nevermind. On the third try it seems to work all of a sudden!

Well bad beats do happen frequently lately to me, I am experiencing a dry spell for the past couple of months. I hope the month december will be good for me in finishing in the money.

Its easier to get bad beats at Omaha tables. And i believe the lower the limits the more you get, cause there are many players playing lotto style hoping to hit something

If you don't want fishes, leave it to me!!!!
lmfao he makes a good point but still donkeys tend to get lucky against me. i just had kings cracked not fifteen minutes after i got aces (with set on flop) cracked

until i can sit comfortably at a like 25 50 cent omaha table i will not play omaha just for that fact. i hate bingo players... i play omaha super tight cause its not as comfy to me as NLH but i do enjoy the game very much and want to improve my skillz at it. i see from what ive seen on here and other places that the smaller stakes are not the place to learn quality play lmfao

do yourself a favor and go watch $3/6 plo. there are bad players across the field. the market is that saturated with bad players.
i play plo simply because its harder to get a bad beat. the guy above disagrees but imho i find the variance is smaller. if you play for nut hands and limit calling off others on their hands then its nearly impossible to have something happen you cant afford. remember that a nut flush draw is not a nut flush no matter how much you want it to be. str8's 2 pair, trips are all fodder hands for you to lose chips with. i make sure if im playing a pot i nut draws and a super strong hand now.
plus one can always check/ call if they are worried. max betting anything but nuts is very bad judgment. but thats just how i c it. more advanced people prolly know more to help you.

Free tourneys will always have that problem. Personally, I consider it a challenge and that’s the main reason why I keep playing them. A good player can’t wait that his opponents will play by the book, he needs to take in consideration that one can use creativity to try to rob. The best players should be able to win against the best and the worst players. I keep saying that a freerollwinner is a good player, even more with big fields. If, at first, he should know how to handle with the more-than-donk players, in the end he will be confronted with a mess of bad players who manage to get there with a lot of luck and others, who dominate better the smaller fields pressure.

ya freerolls are a world of there own... can be quite challenging as well as fun and nothing is more awarding then final tabling when theres 5000 plus people in the tournament.

I really want to get into PLO actually. I enjoy omaha and would liek to improve on it for sure. when i win more then 2 cents in brm ill be building a big enough bankroll to play sometime. I have been quite unlucky with brm freerolls for some reason but oh well it happens to the best and worst of us. thank you for the tips on good quality omaha play and i will definitely keep them in mind. good luck out there fellow mobsters!!!! win the big
