Fun little hand with Dave (2/4)
 

I meant to type something in the chat box and it insta-min raised. After doing so, I told him I did that on accident and meant to pot.

Push. If he picked up a set when you picked up top two when heads up then you'll likely stack off and will have gotten a serious sphincter widening, but he may very well have AA3 here or A2Kx.

[/ QUOTE ]Shabamabam - Yikes! Did you tell him you meant to pot it before he bet the $122 or after he bet it? If you told him before he bet the $122, your tell could have induced him to make the big bet.

Even so, I don't see how you can know if the guy is bluffing or not.

I really do enjoy playing Omaha-8, but this kind of scenario just doesn't appeal to me.

What to do? If you get a thrill out of betting so as to see who is "chicken" and will get out of the way first, go ahead and re-pot it.

Otherwise fold. And henceforth, try to push the right button. But if you don't, and if you have an enigmatic hand/flop like this one, don't put yourself in the position of having to wildly guess about the strength of your opponent's hand.

Very read dependant situation not just because its heads up, but because its possible Dave was messing around. I dont know what was going on before this hand.

Ill give a weird line. I would call and push on any non 4 or 5 on the turn and consider folding if a 4 or 5 hits on the turn.

I like this.

I dont get it. Is the theory that Dave has to have an A3 backdoor low/wheel draw? Are you making a game theory style randomization?

What if the board pairs deuces on the turn? Or if the turn is an A (particularly if its not the A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]).

A deuce would all but kill your hand, in my opinion, while an Ace will likely have you drawing to half. In the latter case, I suppose you'd have 8 outs to fill up or make a wheel and scoop (if he hasn't got AA), but it's sure not a place I'd want to get my money in.

I think this is a very difficult flop decision, because it has to be quite dependent on read and feel.

for some reason, i always think my opponents have top pair with a straight wrap whenever i get played back at in these spots...
