Hi/Lo and all that razz

I didn't get to play a whole lot Thursday. But I did pretty well overall. I played my first ever Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo tourney. I only made one mistake and of course it cost me dearly. The point of a tournament is survival. There were 6 left in the tournament and I was 4th in chips. 3 people got paid. I had AJ34 with 2 hearts and the board had AJ96 with 2 hearts showing. so I had a great draw to the flush, the low and I already had top two pair. Stupid me raised all in. I think I was about a 60/40 favorite going to the river but my opponent had trip 6s and they held up to take the whole pot. Still not bad for my first PLO Hi/lo tourney. I need to work on my tournament play for all games. It seems I finish very close to the money every time but rarely break that threshold. I need to get more aggressive in the middle stages. Hopefully I can change that in coming games.
