Well the other day I got frustrated with a losing streak I have been on at my regular 3/6 6max at party poker, so I decided why not I know not to much about Limit O8 but I’ll play some 1/2 to learn it bettor. Obviously I wasn't going into this blind one of my good friends is an expert at the damn game and I watched him play on a few occasions prior to this and I played some play money MTT of Limit O8. In that MTT I got 39th out of 1512 never playing the game before, I think I did pretty damn good.
So I figure why not I’ll play some 1/2 O8 should be fun and relaxing compared to 3/6 SH. I sit down at 2 table play for about 45min and quit up $51, nice little session for my first time in a real O8 game. Well I went back to 2/4 SH and made good money like $83 or something in 100 hands, I ran pretty good and walked, so I went back to O8 and then shit went real bad, I got my nut Lo hands counterfeited at least 10 times on the turn or river, I hit 3 pair 5 or so times and missed my boat... I got dealt 3 of a kind 4 times, 4 to the suit at least 6 times, it was gross... I dropped a buyin at one of my tables because I had a mid FD for a high and got my nut low counterfeited, that hand coast me I’d say 8 or 9bb easy so lets just say I wasn't real happy about it...
I ended up walking from the game up $5, woot lol, I guess breaking pretty much even for a first real session of O8 is good but I have high expectations for my ability as a poker player and it's not 2.5bb... anyways after that I went back to 2/4 SH and got within $80 or so of breaking even for the day so I called it quits...
The O8 game I enjoyed other then running bad and getting man handled, I think it might become my 2nd game to play when I’m burned out on Texas holdem... Razz is a good game too but I don't want to put money in one site JUST for Razz...
Well that's all I got, good luck at the tables all, regards PokerFanatic
