Default Re: I still don\'t get these low only hands

This makes no sense buzz,

[/ QUOTE ]Sneaks - Please read my reply to CJS for some reasons to bet.

[ QUOTE ]
there is no need to lead at this pot with that hand, you are on a DRAW to only half the pot,

[/ QUOTE ]I'm not quite looking at it that way.

[ QUOTE ]
don't listen to buzz i have no idea why he is telling you to lead,

[/ QUOTE ]Perhaps you will have an idea if you read my reply to CJS.
[ QUOTE ]
then call then maybe cap???

[/ QUOTE ]Wait! You're putting words in my mouth.

But yes, I am not going to fold to a raise.

[ QUOTE ]
You are behind so many hands and by continuing to bet you are creating a bigger pot to which you might be getting quartered.

[/ QUOTE ]or sixthed, or eighthed. Yes, that's a risk.
[ QUOTE ]
If you are going to play this hand use pot control and keep the pot small as you can only win half of it unless a 4 comes and that still might not be good,

[/ QUOTE ]In a limit Omaha-8 ring game, I'm always going to play this hand. I might not play it in a tournament, depending, and I can't speak for pot limit play. But there's no doubt about my playing this hand in a limit ring game. It's not a close decision.
[ QUOTE ]
My advice do not play this hand check the flop, and get away if someone bets.

[/ QUOTE ]Wow.
[ QUOTE ]
Play hands in which you can win both sides,

[/ QUOTE ]Of course.
[ QUOTE ]
when you start playing omaha 8 to win just one side that is when you will start loosing alot of money

[/ QUOTE ]That's too tight for me. It takes good judgment to play well after the flop, and how best to play always depends on your opponents, but I think you leave a lot of money behind if you fold everytime you don't have a two-way hand after the flop.

Sometimes you can promote those hands that seem one way hands to scoopers. I don't think that's probably the case here, but a four of spades on the turn and then a ten of spades on the river, and maybe the hand does get promoted - I don't think that's going to happen, but something else might. I honestly don't think something else is going to happen to give Hero a scooper here either, but I think Hero should play so as to be able to take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves.

I still like betting this flop. If you are incapable of understanding, so be it.

Lastly, allow me to point out that if you play too tightly you are very exploitable. Too loose is obviously not good. But too tight, though not as bad as too loose, is also not good.
