Day 4 of the PokerStars WCOOP is said and done and some well-known players made final tables. Read on to find out how they did, as well as the rest of the results from the fourth day of WCOOP action.
I discuss the rules of Omaha Hi/Lo and basics such as what constitutes a qualifying low hand. I also show example hands and discuss some of my winnings and losses over a 74k hand sample.
Please note I originally intended for this to be part of my first video about how I started in poker hence the "OK back for part 2" at the beginning. I ended up making this part about 1 hour long so decided to split it in two and title it seperately from my first video.
OKAY, very interesting and swingy session. I think over the course of the session I lose 2 buyins and win two buyins.
Some very questionable play from me, was not really focusing and got tilted halfway through the session with the KK hand, but I bring it back and end the session with what I started with. Bit of a rollercoaster session which I hope you all enjoy :D
I know I play some of the hands badly, do tell me your opinion on what I could and should of done differently it is appreciated.
much love xxx
