Excellent news for an Omaha-buff like me who loves live poker so much more than he does online poker. Those who spend their their time at an online casino are missing out on the atmosphere of the table.

I played a first game on the only blind levels they offer (2/4€) and ended up about €650 up after being called down by obviously weak players on some powerhouses.

One guy at the table did even better dragging a €1.5K pot when the blank ace of spades re-raised his river pot bet while he was holding the king high straight flush. Ballsy play by the German fella, too bad he was drawing dead in the folding department there… ;)

Also at the table: a strange Phil Laak – like figure doing… sit-ups. :s

In the last 3 days I’ve had a guy pull a ONE-OUTER on me to make a STRAIGHT FLUSH against my nut flush. I’ve lost flush over flush big pots twice with a jack high flush and a queen high flush, twice with only 3 flushcards on the board. Lost set over set twice, once with middle set against top set.

Anyway, add not making any flushes except for when someone else has me beat and I’m good. :(

Oh… One more: pocket jacks. Flop TJK rainbow. I bet right out afraid of all sorts of straight draws and hoping for someone to have flopped two pair. I get called. Turn it a blank and I bet out the pot. Get re-raised all-in and call. Had KT. K rolls off on the river.

Good stuff, innit?
