Omaha Variance

Bad cash Omaha day yesterday (-$40) and today. Today lost a buyin, 20 outer wrap against top 2 pair with nut flush draw and a straight flush draw against bottom set. Yes he wouldnt fold his bottom set to a re-reraise! Yesterday i think some of my play was bad, but the 2 lost buy-ins today i think were fair play. I think i should have just called with the wrap and folded to a paired or flush turn card.

Played 2 hold'em tournaments. First i went out with KK. One limper in front, put in a 6 BB raise as the limper had a talent of never folding preflop. I get min re-raised by a guy to my left leaving him a small part of his stack behind. This screamed strength, but these low stakes tournaments im never folding KK. The limper then called the reraise! I then shove, get calld by the reraise (no surprise) and the limper calls. They both turn over AA! Couldnt believe it, i didnt hit a miracle king.

The other tournaments i came 9th for $14 ($2 buyin), 329 runners. I got doubled up to 7000 with TPTK against a fish with his flush draw (got to 3000 odd by being dealt my fair share of good cards). I then got dealt QQ. 4BB raise, one caller and BB calls (big fish). Flop comes AKQ and i shove and get called. Other guy turns over KK! Bit pissed off, but still had a good stack. With some good stealing and cards i get to the final table with out much trouble. I didnt adjust to a full table from 6 handed. I was in the top 3 and had position on the other 2 big stacks. However, 2 failed steal attempts put me back with the rest of the pack. No cards and no good situations to shove, i shoved with 9 big blinds with 49o. Bad timing! 2 callers, one with AQs and the other AA! Oops! Finished 9th which was dissapointing. I think my LAG style is good but i didnt adjust to the number of people on the final table. The tournament was on Blue Sq which has no ante structure, which also calls for a tighter style.
