I'm Leaving (in a huff)

I've been playing 1c/2c blind PLO on Ultimate Bet the last few days. I have some left over bonus bucks from long ago on the site (they're hard to work off, but never expire) and since I don't know how to make a deposit anymore it's just been sitting there. Then I won $2 in a freeroll so I can play some cash games and work off those bonus bucks.

I was playing for a few minutes this morning while I was having coffee and one player said to another "You act like you're playing a freeroll, I'm going to another table".

I always thought that if someone at the table was playing like they were in a freeroll that I was actually freerolling. But, what the hell do I know? I can't even figure out how to make a deposit.

A PLO laydown

I have 6422 double suited in the small blind in an online PLO game.

There's an early position raise, a late position call, I call, the big blind calls.

The flop is T66. I bet. The big blind raises. The original opener re-raises. The late position player folds.

Now what?

I can't imagine how my hand could possibly be any good. So I fold. The big blind goes all in, the opener calls.

I'd have ended up with 6's full of 2's. But that's not important.

The big blind had a single T, and not much else. He'd raised with JT88 on that flop.

The other guy, the opener who won the pot, had KKxx.

OK. This is going to be fun.
