Tight Poker

[alanpsych]

As an intro, I've switched from PP to PS recently, and have found the HE ring games pretty horrible so far, but the PLO games have been surprisingly soft, even though I'm not a good Omaha player by any means.

Anyway, I made the ultimate fish move last night, misreading the board (call me Ted Lawson) and getting rewarded (obv rigged).

I have Js987

flop comes KT6, 2 spades (I'm spadeless)

I call the OR, along with another fishy player.

Turn is a blank. OR bets, fishy (short stack) goes all in, I call with my 20 outs, right? Then OR goes all in. I autocall with all those outs. (table has been fairly passive, and I tend to think of this as a set rather than a flush draw).

River is an off-suit Q, and I go from $15 to $40.

Great hand, right? Until I realize that the J and the 5 aren't outs as I thought they were. I was thinking that since cards 6-T were all accounted for, anything beyond those had to be straights. So I was calling off my stack as about a 3:1 dog rather than as nearly even money as I thought.

I'm an idiot.
