Live cashing streak is over, but not before one last hurrah

I was invited to another live game saturday night (second live game in a row) and this time had 7 players with a $1 buy-in only.
That made for a relaxed atmosphere and crazy calls really, I just had to adapt.
My friend/host also handed out packs of Carta Mundi cards that his business sells and it was a nice gesture, appreciated it very much.

We had enough time to play two games and I finished 1st and 5th respectively.
Don't remember much of the hands really, I was just fooling around, limping everywhere and trying to get paid off when I did hit:

GAME 1

- I was severely short stacked and limped with A2 suited in a three-handed pot.
I flop a deuce and we all call a bet to the turn which brings another deuce. I call a shover and almost triple up.

- I push from the button with ATo to try to commit the BB who was short. To my surprise the SB calls as well with KJ while the BB had garbage. BB flops a King but I runner-runner the nut flush. Justice!

- Heads-up my opponent is auto-all-in with less than a BB and I only have 46o to his overcards.
He flops a pair but I river a gutshot 8-high straight to win the first game. Not the best way to win but I'll take it anyways.

GAME 2

- First hand I call a raiser with 99 and we see a flop of 9xA. He bets, I raise, he reraises, I reraise, he calls. Turn is another A which would seal my win or break me really. He pushes, I call and he only has KK, I double up the first hand of the game.

- I lose half my stack later when I shove with QQ and get a call by KJ. He flops a King and I am left the shorter stack again.

- Have A7 and we have a four-handed hand. Flop was A7Q.
Don't remember what happened, but I folded on the turn because of a shover and I remember the shover busting with the other two guys both having AQ whew!

- I don't remember my last hand, but I just know it was a bad beat lol. Oh well, who cares?

From then on we tried to play Stud and Omaha just for a change and they all agreed.
They also all agreed that Stud is very hard to play while Omaha generates waaayyy too much action lol. We had so many crazy hands in Omaha we just couldn't stop laughing.
Finally, it was getting late and we all decided to go all-in (in Omaha, yes!) just to decide the winner.
I think I had the second best hand with T9KJ, while the best hand had AKT8 or something.
I turned two pairs and won that last hand, whatever PLO :P
