A 2, 4, 7 or 8 peels off, and he has a low hand. Not necessarily a stout one, but certainly a qualifier.

Re: flopped nots with flush draw - BUSTED
This hand doesn't necessarily illustrate my point of giving free cards in Omaha (because the turn wasn't what hurt OP).
In this situation, even if OP jams the pot on the flop, he's still obviously...

Re: good or bad play?
Call and reevaluate. You've got several good draws, but not there yet. And with two other players in the hand, you have to give consideration to the fact that your heart draw may not be good.

Re: flopped nots with flush draw - BUSTED
You learned why free cards are death in Omaha. Straights can get jack-hammered by so many hands, you should almost never slow play them.
About the only hand I slow play is if I have pocket Ks or...

Re: i think this is really close
I see the dilemma. If he gets called, TX doesn't rate to beat much (good chance of chopping, but not winning). And if the guy was low drawing, he'll fold. So why not check, if there isn't anything...

Jaimie Gold, part II?
Yang is making terrible plays, getting clobbered by the deck, and steamrolling the table. Sound familiar?
Re-raising all in with J-freakin'-8??? C'mon.

Re: .25/.50 LO8 Aces
And don't raise turn (HH says it was a raise, not a check-raise as indicated in your post). Sure, SB might be stabbing. But you don't rate to beat much of anything and you don't have much of a...

Re: Should I just just call the flop with top set?
[ QUOTE ]
You can certainly make a case for calling as the flop is relatively drawless and Mcping is unlikely to have connected in any meaningful way given there is only one ace and two jacks left...

Re: strange turn spot
Not me.
While this player may not be good, he doesn't sound wild. As you acknowledge, he doesn't have air. So unless the board pairs, you don't rate to beat anything he has.
Looks like...

Re: Flopped wheel...
Run for the hills. VERY slim chance that your hand is good on the turn, and an even slimmer chance that it will be good after the river.

Re: Did I play this okay? 15/30
Missed the flush draw. In that case, I can't criticize a bet there, although I think a check w/ the second nut flush draw is a legitimate play as well. A good situation where you can mix it up and...

Re: Did I play this okay? 15/30
That is a pretty starting hand, but the turn and river bets are not wise, IMO. You only have a one-way hand, and one that is very prone to getting quartered. And by the time the river is there and...

Re: Live 10/20
I might take the free card if it's checked to me. You were check-raised on the river, and even though it was by a maniac, he rates to have something. 3s or 8-3? Maybe a low. And even if both...

Re: Do I make a laydown?
With a bettor, caller and raiser, seems like a fairly easy fold. 9 out of 10 times your high is no good. Given the action on the turn (when the low got there), I'd say only one or maybe two of the...
