Dumb Noob Question (Trips in the Hole)
With the hole, can only use 2 cards thing. Describe in whatever fashion pleases you how bad it is to have 3 of a kind in your hand.
For Example: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Edit: My guess is Rearry bad. |

AAA3s [/ QUOTE ] but not AAA3r? LOL OP - 3 aces with a low card is a strong hand. Raise it up. Any other trips hand is mostly worthless. |

Re: Dumb Noob Question (Trips in the Hole)
OP, just so you know:
These guys are generally refering to the strength you can represent knowing that three aces of four are in your hand, and since nearly every playable starting hand in O8 contains an ace, you are likely to get lots of folds if you raise with AAAx hands. This will probably not work as well as you'd like at low stakes, so splitsuit was trying to show that it is helpful to have a backup plan, like a low draw or suitedness, to go along with your AAAx. Note that any trips hand besides AAAx realy sucks (I might play A222s, but that's about it, and it's something you'll get every 10K hands so it's not a big deal). |

[/ QUOTE ] I am new to Omaha, but not to poker. I am certainly no pro and have much to learn, which is why I'm here. I'm smart enough to see the math in having one ace left in the deck makes sets and full houses less likely, but was curious if there was other things to consider. And despite the question being almost rhetorical in nature, some good qualities about the trip aces have been brought to light anyways. So the thread is serving its purpose. |

Re: Dumb Noob Question (Trips in the Hole)
For what it's worth, in MTT Donkaments, I regularly see AAAx take down half the pot with the flush. I'm not the one holding these cards, and who knows how many of these got mucked once they missed their only draw.
These flush-draw-only hands make little sense in cash games, but they might be worth seeing a flop cheaply in the early levels of a donkament if at least 5 people are seeing the flop cheap. Half of a pot chock-full of dead money is occasionally worth a look-see. |

Re: Dumb Noob Question (Trips in the Hole)
I love AAAW hands in PL. You can steal a lot preflop and on the flop, you can push in preflop and never be (as far as I know) less than 50-50, and maybe you'll put somebody on tilt when you scoop.
As far as the debate over whether AA39 or AAA3 is better, IMO it's irrelevant because unless you get it in preflop, it really just comes down to situational post flop play. Correction: AAA4r is 51-49 dog to a hand like A23Kds. Whatever. |
