Finally I Hooked The Fish!!!
Long story short, Voodoo and I were watching this guy bleed chips off (ASSPOKER) he was at $3500 when we started watching. So, I had to get into the game as it was too good to pass up. It was around $400 avg pot which is INSANE for 2/4 PLO. Anyway, finally I picked up a decent enough hand and got lucky, sure enough, fishy shipped it I know I am gonna get reamed for the preflop call against the other guys raise, but here was my thought process. Fish raised EVERY hand, so I knew that was coming regardless (hence my flat call), other guy reraised to isolate (we all wanted to isolate the fish, and the other guy doing the reraising had done that before with some complete crap so though he may have finally picked up a hand, I put their range pretty low and felt I was had a good enough hand to see a flop. Also, I knew fish was VERY UNLIKELY to reraise him, and I had position on the reraiser so I was willing to see a flop. If I hit I knew I was money, but was just as happy folding if I didnt hit (in fact I woulda folded any bet, but it didn't come, so I got a free card), but the way the avg hand played out at this table, you pretty much had to put in a min 100$ preflop to see a flop, the raising was THAT nuts. Here is the hand:

This ASS guy played and raised EVERY single hand preflop that I watched for about 5-6 orbits and had about 3200 before bleeding them off slowly.
Jeff, if you're losing mortgage payments...I doubt anyone is going to lend you much. You're welcome to get comfy in the doghouse out in my backyard though. If you see a big dog come along...I'd make way for him though. He's not exactly known for sharing.
Max buy-in at a 2/4 PLO table is $400 unfortunately (in this case at least)
Well done Graham. I don't think anyone will crap on you for making that call preflop. You got into the game to take a shot at the fish. You took a shot. Good job!
