Another Royal, ho hum.

 Had a royal flush in hearts today playing PLO.  Big deal, see them fairly often.  No big pot as 9 high flush on that board tough to call.  But did get two despite no paired board for a boat.  There are often huge multiway draws with your 4 cards.  Had a straight draw, flush draw, 2 pair draw.  Hard to miss those, but always prepare for the miss or a loss even when you hit.  I have stopped putting much money in on bottom 2 pair on the flop, and even folding top when lots of action.   Usually you are up against a set and maybe drawing dead.

Two Best Omaha Pot Limit Hands

 The second hand I was dealt on a new table, I have Q/J/x/x suited spades under the gun. Easy fold.  Flop comes A/K/x spades.  Rutrow.  Betting, calling multiple players.  Turn, brick.  More betting and calling. River, you guessed it,  10 of spades.   Folded the royal in a large pot.

Later, playing small suited cards I river the 5 high straight flush, steel wheel.  River bet small, no callers.
