<\/a>Cake Poker Daily $800 PLO\/8 Guaranteed (3,000 chips)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tried this for a lark. First online cash play since Friday.<\/p>\n

My first hand was T<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> J<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> 6<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span> Q<\/span>\u2666<\/span><\/span><\/span> as UTG in ten players at 10\/20. I raised to 45 and there were three callers. Flop was J<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span> J<\/span>\u2666<\/span><\/span> 7<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span><\/span> making me a set, and I half-potted to 105. One call. 3<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span><\/span> on the turn, I bet the pot (420) and got a call. 2<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span><\/span> for the river, we both checked, my set was the high hand and the other guy got a low. Most of the money in the pot belonged to us, so we only made a 60 chip profit.<\/p>\n

Got 5<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span> J<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span> 4<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> 6<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span><\/span> on the big blind. UTG raised to 70 and got three calls. SB re-raised to 440. I called and everyone already in the hand stayed in, so there were six players to the see the A<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> 8<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span> 7<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span><\/span> flop. I had a low straight draw, when SB went all-in for 2,540 I called. UTG went all-in for less than the bet, UTG1 called, there was a fold, and BTN was all-in for another 10 chips. I called and UTG1 called. Turn was J<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span><\/span>, which didn’t do much of anything for me, but UTG1 raised his last 70 chips and I called with mine (he’d been the low I split the pot in the last hand). BTN showed A<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span> K<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span> 6<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span> 5<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span><\/span> for a pair of aces and one of my straight draws. SB had 3<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span> A<\/span>\u2666<\/span><\/span> J<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span> T<\/span>\u2666<\/span><\/span><\/span> for aces and jacks and an inside straight draw to the J<\/span>x<\/span><\/span><\/span>. Things were looking grim for any real hand for me. UTG, with 3<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span> Q<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span> K<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> Q<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span><\/span> had to hope for a T<\/span>x<\/span><\/span><\/span> to make Broadway to win. UTG2 had 9<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> Q<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> T<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> K<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span><\/span> to fill in the gap between the nut straight. The river was 4<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span><\/span>. Amazingly enough, I had a low hand with A<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> 4<\/span>\u2666<\/span><\/span> 5<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span> 6<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> 7<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span><\/span> and took back my 70 chips from the last round of betting. BTN had the same low, and we split the rest of the low pots, with me taking a total of 3,905.<\/p>\n

The fourth hand, I picked up Q<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> A<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> 5<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> 3<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span><\/span>. I raised to 70 from BTN, SB re-raised to 120, UTG2 three-bet 460. Both SB and I called. 8<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> 2<\/span>\u2666<\/span><\/span> T<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span><\/span> on the flop gave me the nut flush draw. I potted it to 1410, SB called for less, UTG2 went all-in for more than 5,500 and I called all-in. SB had J<\/span>\u2666<\/span><\/span> 7<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span> 6<\/span>\u2666<\/span><\/span> A<\/span>\u2666<\/span><\/span><\/span> for not much of anything, UTG2 showed 4<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span> 8<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span> A<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span> 2<\/span>\u2663<\/span><\/span><\/span> for two pair. The turn and river were unclubbed: Q<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/span> K<\/span>\u2660<\/span><\/span><\/span>, turning SB’s not much into Broadway. He got the main pot of 5,130; the two-pair took 4,210 (a good bit less than he’d started the hand with, but then I got nothing).<\/p>\n

5 minutes, 4 hands. First player of thirty permanently out because I refuse to rebuy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
