Happy Mook Day

Mookie is tonight 7 Pacific, password vegas1

I think BBT burnout has hit us all but I am in.

Pauly wrote a great post (WSOP Day 18:Never Trust a junkie) comparing PLO to cocaine. It was 10 months ago that I felt invincible playing PLO before spewing bankroll to a bad beat, a bluff into donkey and missing a huge draw with top set + flush draw + oesd against flopped straight.

The highs and lows of PLO came back to me in this pair of hands:

Dealt to bayne_s [Js Ad Tc As]
BrickDragon has 15 seconds left to act
BrickDragon calls $6
bayne_s has 15 seconds left to act
bayne_s raises to $27

*** RIVER *** [5d 9s Jh Ah] [6d]
pokerplayer711 shows a straight, Nine high
bayne_s shows three of a kind, Aces
pokerplayer711 wins the pot ($508) with a straight, Nine high

Not much later still reeling from the river 9 outer:

Forgetting to top off is bad mistake this time.
