Dreamcrusher?

 Of late it has been me getting my dreams crushed both in omaha cash games and hold em tournaments.  That changed dramatically on Tuesday.  I signed up online for 4/8 hi low half kill omaha at the local casino, snagging the last available seat for the 10 a.m game when they opened. Been having trouble with the app, signing up early only to find my name removed later. Got the info on how to prevent that for the future.  

So, seated early in seat 1, my second favorite, and usually occupied by "Doc", a regular among the other old guy mostly Asian regulars, I bought in for $120. That "investment" lasted over an hour until I had to reload with another hundred. When that was gone, did my last rebuy. No memorable bad beats, just a steady stream of 2nd best hands and big pots lost to the river. Suddenly my fortunes shifted with hands holding up and big pots scooped or split. With a couple of aggressive prefop raisers, most pots were over $100. Honestly, I won virtually none with miracle rivers, losing several flopped sets to runners. But, I became the champion of the big hogged pots, at one time winning back to back monsters and unable to keep up with stacking chips. Felt awesome. 

After 5 hours of play, cashed out for $817, for a $100 an hour win rate. Would have stayed longer, but no lunch and table getting short of players. Like they say, you never leave the table on a heater, but short handed omaha is not a good game with a big rake. 

Uh

Nice job! It's so hard just to break even most days. I'm quite jealous.
