Tournament 34146599 on PokerStars... 3.30 Omaha Hi/Lo... I'm 20th out of 169 right now, with about twice the average... O8 isn't a game I've played much of but I feel like I'm making good decisions and I'm running well (two things that I can't say together except of Hold'em... I think my mindset works well for this game)...

Anyways, comer root for me =] I go take a bathroom break before break is done.

I can't talk, since my account is dry, but I'm watching.

5d 6h 3s flop, you lead, he calls.

5s 6h 3s 9s after turn, you led for 600, he raises to 1200.

5 6 3 9 x on river, you shouldn't have led again. I thought you were leading with the 78 and were going to both chop it with the straight. Instead, you mucked and he showed the 78.

Suppose you couldn't convince yourself he had it there, then you certainly should've check-called or check-folded the river.

You can't lead on the river, because you cost yourself an extra 600. Speaking as an observer, I thought it was painfully obvious he had the 78 when he reraised the last two streets. When you led on the turn, I actually thought you had it and were just trying to build a big pot.

Not my intention to sound like a know-it-all, but I thought it was a relatively easy situation to recognize.

Ihad a set of 5s there... after I did it (but before the showdown) I realized I made a big mistake...

So I'm a shortstack at the 2nd break... I'm not gonna give up... just gotta get a little lucky =P

I thought you had to have a set to take it that far, but you missed the yield signs.

I thought you were making some nice plays before that hand, though. I'll check in and out, my eyes are getting tired as 5am approaches.

Out in 32nd... flopped top set with 9s, villain flopped nut flush draw - hit it on the river~_~

32nd out of 279 - not bad for my first O8 tourney~_~

not a bad showing at all.
