What a tragic Omaha Hi Pot Limit Poker hand this was. My hole cards were 7d-7h-10s-Qs. Flop brought me a chance for a Straight and a chance for a Flush. I called my opponent’s bet. Off course I made this decision because I had a great chance to won this hand. Turn card was King of spades. That was exactly what I needed! Since I had a flush I raised a whole pot which was in the same time my all in. Two players called my raise.

I was waiting desperately to see a river card. Another Four. OMG. I don’t like that, but what can I do? I was already all in! Both of my opponents had a full house. One opponent had Fours full of Kings and the other had Eights full of Fours. Even that the flop card wasn’t four I would still lose because my opponent had a stronger flush, besides a full house. Well, that day wasn’t my day for poker.

In this Omaha Hi Pot Limit poker tournament my hole cards were suited J-2 and a pair of Nines. Not the best hand ever, but I decided to give it a try, since blinds were small anyway… After seeing the flop cards, I felt thrills down my spine. Something was wrong. One player had raised a whole pot. It was very hard to fold three of a kind but I did it. Silly me!

You should see my face after the turn card. Oh no! Another Eight! Why? I am looking at my four of a kind but I am not playing! Why?

I didn’t know that then, but it was a great decision. Very soon, my opponent showed a straight flush, King high! Wow! Lucky me I didn’t pay his pot raise after the flop, since my chips would be long gone now.

What can I say? Very nice hand, mate!
