Yesterday I played in another 2 league tourneys.
One was a hold em tourney. The other was a modified HORSE tourney with triple draw low ball replacing regular stud.
I managed to finish 2nd in the Hold em tournament and 1st in the HORSE tournament.
One thing I noticed is that I have an advantage when we play Omaha since most of the players don’t play Omaha too much and they severely misplay their hands a lot. Once they start to learn that two pair or a set doesn’t always win the pot, I can then get them off these hands when I have nothing. The triple draw low ball session was fun and we even played a round of Badugi for kicks. This was a fun tournament because I finally got to play other games besides Hold em all the time.
As for the Hold em game. I played pretty good that tournament also in my estimation. I sniffed out some bluffs and made some timely bluffs myself. It’s interesting to note that once I called a few bluffs, the other players stopped bluffing as much and allowed me to bluff back at them. Weird how poker works.
I could’ve finished with two first place finishes except I lost a crucial hand heads up when the other player hit his flush on the river against my made straight. That’s the way the cookie crumbles sometimes but I was happy with the way I played.
