Flamingo 1-1 PLO - free beer and free money
So the game is pretty lively from a table-talk perspective right away... that's a good sign. Stacks weren't huge, but had grown since I had looked earlier.
We had lots of button straddles - nice butttt he Flamingo button straddle for this game is... $2 - lol why not just make it $5?
I was basically pounding Coronas for the 5 or 6 hours I was at this table, but ran well enough to book about a $700 win. No really amazing hands, but this one stood out for non-strategy reasons:
I was doing my roll call around the table to find out where everyone comes from (I highly recommend this). A new guy comes in, no sh.t he's like 55 years old, with a fancy but weird faux-hawk, wearing a denim jacket with the sleeves rolled up. It's like he came from a 'dress like a douche' party. Anyway, I ask where he's from, as we had the info from all the other players, he looks really annoyed by the question but says "Louisiana". Surly.
The hand: Little action preflop, I flop a gutshot with 4-6-x-x and decide to bet. He calls and the 5x on the turn gives me the nut straight. He donk bets, I raise, he ends up shoving. I take a moment to be sure I have the nuts and call. River blank, he mucks when I show the straight, kind of mumbling but nothing major.
But then: the *dealer* volunteers something about how I had a "nice wrap" on the flop (I didn't lol.. just semi-bluffed a gutshot). The dude gets SO PISSED at the dealer. "You think that was a WRAP?" .... "Wait, you really think that was a wrap? Oh my god this place.." blah blah blah.... it was pretty great.
He gets more money, rebuys for $300 and loses it all quickly, I think ahead in a 3-way alliin, but, hey - it's Omaha - and lost. Then he made fun of one of the old guys in a very mean way, and left. I think he didn't come from a 'dress like a douche' party, after all. A true douche through and through.
So, yeah, booked a nice profit and guzzled beer. Had to get 'dinner' on my way to bed. Unfortunately this was the 2nd of two pieces, and the first one was larger, and I ate them both because.. drunk and hungry, but it was a bit much.
