Re: Omaha in the Bay Area

Thanks, I may check it out this week when I'm in town. (I usually play the Stud/8 game there.)

What I'd really like to see at GC is a 6/12 or higher OE mix. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: 2-7 Keeping 87 on first draw out of position

Patting is almost always the right option here.

(1) Can you win the pot more often by drawing than by patting?

Re: Badugi questions

Well, let's start with the easy question:

Re: Omaha in the Bay Area

I thought the 10/20 Omaha/8 game at Lucky Chances was Thursdays. The Tuesday game was the short-lived return of pot-limit.

Re: A tough CP 2-7 hand

[ QUOTE ]
I had guessed that

89TJQ Q7652 KK2: 7 + 5.5 + 12 = 24.5 points

might also be a strong candidate. Does that fall in between the two 26 point choices?

From a conversation with 2461Badugi, most of the ideas are his:

"Three's a Crowd" stud variant: if three or more people go to showdown, the high hand wins. If two people go to showdown, the low...

Re: 2-7 starting hand... dump the 6 or draw 1?

With both 3456 and 4567, you should dump the 6, even with position (unless you are planning to snow/semisnow after the draw anyway.)

Re: PLO at Lucky Chances, whats the general opinion right now?

I was disappointed on my last trip that the Thursday 10/20 _limit_ Omaha/8 wasn't running. Hope the brief PLO reintroduction didn't kill it off. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Re: Badugi Dilemma

So, if you pat he has about 8 outs (maybe 7) in 44 remaining cards, which is odds 4.5 to 1. 18% of the time he makes his hand. Let's say he gets an extra bet out of you every time. (He can't do...

Re: 2-7 Triple Draw - Walk through of a text book hand
