Blind round 2 - Omaha Hi-Lo

First 10 minutes I haven't played a hand. Can't see an Ace for the life of me.

BB. I check with 4 limpers. My cards are Ah Qs 8c 2c.

Flop is Kc 6d 4h. SB bets. I call. Late position calls.

Turn is 10c. SB bets. I raise. Late position calls. SB calls.

River is a 7s. SB checks. I bet. Late position calls. SB calls.

SB wins Hi with 6c 5h 4d 6d, a pair of 6s.

I win Lo with 7,6,4,2,A.

A few hands later...

I limp in late with 4488. Flop is 245. Flopped a set, not loving the low cards out there though. It's checked to me and I check. C'mon, board pair.

Turn is an 8. Ok, a better set. Still not loving my hand. All the aces out there are fanging for the Lo and I'm sitting here sweating on a board pair. It's bet to me and I call.

River is a 10. Ok, no board pair. A couple of bets to me and I fold. Hi is taken by the 23456 straight and scoops the low also.

Ad Jd 4s 4c. I limp in, and call a two-bet. Flop is 4h 2c 3c. Flopped a set with the nut low draw. Worried about A5 though.

Turn is 7d. I have a low, only A5 has me beat. A board pair would be good, or a 5.

River is 5h. Not too bad. I figure we must both have wheels and I got lucky. Sure enough, the betting is capped, and we split both pots.

I open limp into the pot in late position with 5s 7c 2h 4c. SB completes and BB checks.

Ah 3s 9s is the flop. I have the nut low draw again. I bet twenty, SB calls, BB folds.

Turn brings a 3rd spade, the Q. I check, SB checks.

River drops 2s. This makes my wheel, and the 4th spade on the board (plus the one in my hand) lowers the chance of a flush. I bet and am called. I show the wheel for hi and lo. It scoops both.

5 minute break. I am on 2871. The chip average is still 3000.
