Omaha Odyssey - Read, this one's exciting

Well I am at home for the weekend and have spent the vast majority of my time playing poker, it is currently 5.30am and I am shaking however I just have to post this hand from omaha, bear in mind I've been playing this game for only a few days and I think I may be reasonable at it.

To set the scene, I have been hugely frustrated, playing crap at nl holdem and getting repeatedly outdrawn at omaha, I decided in what may have been an unwise decision to play 5-10 omaha, despite being about 2.5k down for the day I have been playing really well at omaha almost always getting my money in ahead. Anyway I'd built up to 2k on the table with two huge stacks sat to my right when I get AAKQ with 2 card suited and well it plays out as below. To put this in context although I have a huge hand I am not that huge a favourite in this one, read below to see the craziness, I think I said a little prayer before the flop came and hoped that this was not going to be an unlucky hand

The river 5 saved me and as I realise I'd won the pot I quite literally jumped for joy, don't think I have ever done that before in my life, 4.1K of pure profit on one hand - I haven't stopped shaking and cannot believe I've just been involved in a hand like that, the table is still running and I may go back and continue but then again.....

I LOVE OMAHA...


at least when I win.
