    Default Sick pot!

    So I'm not complaining about the results, just couldn't believe this hand and thought some of you might get a kick out of it. I know the pot seems small compared to the stakes you guys play, but considering this is a shortstacked 10PLO table, this was a nice pot that I could've had slide my way. We get some nice pots now and then, but usually it's two bigstacks with great hands, not 5 guys with all sorts of crap.

    Comments on the hand as far as analysis: I'd been watching CO raise limper(s) over and over and folks just kept laying it down and then he showed down 1 or 2 of these with crap starting hands. So I was looking to raise behind him with anything QQ+ or good rundown, or call behind with something I felt like I might be able to outplay him with HU. I had almost zero expectation of more than 1 other caller based on how the last 3/4 orbits had gone at this table. When they all call I'm pretty much just looking for the fold button 'til I see the lovely flop.
    I pretty much think it may have been a case of everyone at the table being sick of not hitting crap for so many hands in a row - I mean I was about to get off this table because there just wasn't much action, pots were all tiny.
    Bonus: In case you're wondering, I ran the #'s and my hand was actually ahead preflop (somehow 33%?), and ofcourse flop and turn (67%) I'm gaining equity.

    Man I love Omaha now, Hold'em just seems so boring.

    nothing wrong with folding crap pre, especially 45bb deep. Like, you're committing 10% of your stack preflop...

    I guess folding is OK pre, but this hand sure is not crap OTB and I'd never ever fold. that said no reason not to have a full stack, not sure if this is 50BB or 100 BB max but either way you have a good seat.

    Yeah this is 50BB. I don't auto top up 'cause I lose complete sense of winning/losing during my session if I do. I just rebuy if I drop to 1/2 the buyin.

    what value is a sense of winning or losing mid-session?

    if you don't see value in it for yourself, then doesn't matter, don't worry about it. there is value in it for myself at this point in time.
