I did not forsee folding on just about any flop given the preflop activity, but that was one really bad flop and I still had about 700 chips so it seemed I was pretty much drawing dead (runner runner boats aside).
My one minor error that hand was I should have raised enough to allow me to reopen betting if coolblue decided to shove, so a raise to 400 to 450 or so to allow him to do a full bet reraise. I suspect this would mean I would have been out because if Melina is playing A276 with three spades I assume no raise would have been enough. Think he was accidently playing hi/lo (and even in that game that hand is not really great in this scenario)

Well, this did explain the previous hand, I guess Melina was playing hi/lo
My hand was really strange as it had a lot going for it but was not ever going to be the nuts. Still, with my stack this was as good a situation as it could get, if someone had a better flush draw they likely were behind 2 pairs and I had blockers. If another had a set, well I was not going to win then.

Now that is one overplayed overpair. Moose was only a 4-1 favorite here. That's a check fold flop since a pair of kings aint going no where there, even the Kc will not do it.

The very strange bubble hand (with 2 people getting knocked out). I guess Melina was still playing hi/lo or something, because otherwise I could not make any sense out of it. coolblue was not really much into folding this tournament, so even if Melina is playing hi lo I would just check the river since there is no chance of a fold and really no chance to get 3/4 of the pot. Obviously in the actual Omaha high game we were playing none of this hand made sense
