McMansioned

"McMansioned" is ... what has been done to you when your full house has lost to a better one.

This is an excerpt from my February 18, 2011 post. In yesterday's session, I got McMansioned in an especially brutal way. When the money bubble was close to bursting, I was so short-stacked that my only realistic chance of making the money was to fold every marginal hand, and hope that the tournament shed players faster than I was shedding chips. :-) As it turned out, every hand I was dealt from that point on was marginal, and I soon fell in. On my final hand, I was dealt an eight and another card which I don't recall. An eight and a jack showed up in the flop, the turn was another eight, and the river was a jack. This gave me a full house, eights full of jacks. Really lucky, right? Sure; not as lucky, however, as the player who'd been dealt pocket jacks, giving him a full house, jacks full of eights. I exited as the bubble boy, missing the money by a single spot.

In other news, I decided a while ago to post much less frequently, but not to mothball this blog completely.

"McMansioned" is ... what has been done to you when your full house has lost to a better one.

This is an excerpt from my February 18, 2011 post. Last night, I got McMansioned. On the hand in question, I hit trip fives on the flop, and made a full house, fives full of queens, on the river. The river card was a queen, which was very unfortunate for me, as it gave my opponent a full house, queens full of fives. Had the river card been any other denomination, my trip fives would have beaten my opponent's two pair of queens and fives. Whatcha gonna do?

McMansioned

Last night I played pretty well for the most part, but not quite well enough. One good thing did come out of the session, though; after being burned twice in the same way, I was inspired to come up with a poker neologism describing how. "McMansioned" is born (or perhaps I should say repurposed)! That's what has been done to you when your full house has lost to a better one.

This is an excerpt from my February 18, 2011 post. Last night, I lost about two thirds of my stack on a hand where I got McMansioned. I was dealt pocket sixes, and hit a set on the flop. The river put two kings on the board, giving me a full house, sixes full of kings. Unfortunately, it gave my opponent a better full house, kings full of tens. That's what you call a cold deck.

McMansion #1: my eights full of fives lost to an eights full of kings
McMansion #2: my aces full of eights lost to an aces full of nines

During current Omaha session you were dealt 95 hands and saw flop:
- 18 out of 20 times while in big blind (90%)
- 19 out of 22 times while in small blind (86%)
- 42 out of 53 times in other positions (79%)
- a total of 79 out of 95 (83%)
Pots won at showdown - 12 of 29 (41%)
Pots won without showdown - 12

Once again, long is wrong.
