Very nice! Where are the HU shootouts located? I don't see them under the tournament tab.

Just played two of these and got coolered (Q-high flush to K-high flush) and runner-runnered (KK against 77 and he hit running cards for a straight). I haven't been able to win anything for about seven weeks now. My BR is down to 1/4th of what it was before I started my downward spiral.

Most of the time I have my money in good, but I'm getting killed by people hitting gutshots and running straights.

Lost a $75 token yesterday. Blew about half my stack on the first hand with KK UTG. The guy called me on pre-flop with rags. Called me on the flop with a gutshot (rag board). Hit his gutshot on the turn and we both checked* then just called me on the river. His reason: "I knew you were bluffing".

Why he just called with the nuts on the river? No answer. I have a feeling I could play a $500 buyin game and somehow I'd still end up at a table full of idiots.

* I've been losing whole buyins everytime I get KK or AA. I wanted to keep the pot manageable to avoid going broke in exactly the situation that occured: an idiot once again hit his idiot cards to suck out on me.

Anyway, I won't be playing anymore HU SNGs. I'm 0 for 5 in them (2 PLO, 2 Horse, 1 NLHE).

Otto410,

Obviously that person played that hand like it was Hold'em, or is just a total donk. Just too much on the board to think that his Queens were still the best hand. There's really nothing more to say to that, I just shake my head at that play, but as long as there's mistakes being made out there, the better players will take advantage of them.

Not to toot my own horn because I'm far from a great Omaha player, but as an example, I have won two of these in a row. It should be six in a row had I not gotten pissed during one and pushed a flopped two pair when I should have known better. Prior to the ill-advised push, the guy rivered me twice to stay alive and I got frustrated.
