So I'm playing in an Omaha H/L game and I'm real deep into it. But I have a preseason football game to go to, and I had planned on leaving at a certain time, and can't just ditch out. So I get to the final table, I think maybe I'll put it on autofold, since I'm already gaurenteed $30. But I think no, I'd rather take a few shots and play aggressively. So it's about 10 minutes after I planned on leaving, and I pick up AA23 unsuited and double up to $120k, which is about 4 big blinds away from the chip leader. Then I say, whatever, I'll just play fairly reckless, so I do, and I manage to get lucky and take down the chip leader and go to 330k. I steal a few pots and then get busted and someone doubles up. The table goes to break. At this point I decide, I need to go now. So I tell my mom to play for me. Now other than the last couple hands, I had been playing extremely tight, and with the blinds this high, and about to go higher, I only need one steal and it pretty much is correct to push every hand. She's never played before, so I just show her how to bet the pot. I tell her to just bet the pot every single time with every single hand. At this point it's down to 3 players so I get $180 even if she goes out. If she gets 2nd I get $240, and if she gets first I get $380. I could have just autofolded to 2nd, but I have 250k, the 2nd place has 90k in chips and 3rd has about 20k and the blinds are 5k/10k, so moving in every hand is a much better option. I'm thinking she probably goes out 2nd, Maybe 3 minutes after I leave she calls me. I think, oh no, she must have busted out early, but she tells me she didn't know what hand she had, or what she was doing, but she won!
Sweet!
A big win for 0to1k. Not only did I dominate the tournement, but when I had them all crippled, I let my mom finish them off!
Once it gets short handed and the blinds get so high, it's pretty much a crapshoot. The advantage is on the player that presses forward and forces people to fold.
I had the final table set to record, and I tried to tell my mom on the phone to stop the recording but I think she must have just closed it and exited it instead... Unfortunately no video. If you want some good final table action for PL Omaha H/L register for free at propokerschool.com and watch Brett Gank Jungblutt and his brother Bo, as they play a very good Omaha game. Brett has a bracelet for winning an Omaha tournament.
So now I'm about $200 away from my goal of going from 0 to 1k. Hopefully I can win another tournament or 90 person SNG or 2 and have it done by this weekend, if not by tonight!
