8 handed game, villain is a weak player and probably plays 90% of his hands but if he raises preflop in this game he probably has an actual playable hand of some sort.
2 folds, villain raises, I am next to act with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I fold raise or call? i know this seems dumb but a well respected 2+2er disagreed with what to do here and he needs to be convinced that he is apparently retarded at omaha 8. |

Define "playable" please. Does this include stuff like A38J A289 or is he only raising A2KQ A235 AA3T type hands?

probably any a2, any a+2 wheel cards, any AA, probably a bunch of a3, a lot of a4 with any kind of connection going on and then random high hands he wants to play.

I suck at o8, but I would call with this hand because this is a hand that does well multi-way. Although, I would much prefer if it was not raised, because this hand feels a little bit dry. If I had been running bad recently I might throw it away.
Is suited A2 always playable? |

[/ QUOTE ] I think how everyone else plays is a consideration between cold calling and 3betting. If you can shut everyone else out and maybe quarter him, 3betting is a decent idea. This applies for A2Kx type hands too. If a 3bet is just going to result in playing a huge pot from the middle b/c everyone is cold calling 3 behind you, then maybe you should just call and take a flop. A lot of preflop plays in O8 run really close, IMO. |

huh. i wrote out a reply but i think i erased it while answering a food question. . .
couple things that are more important than equity: -- players behind you and their reaction to a 3 bet? can you fold them out if they don't hold A23x or somethign like that? -- is bad player weak post flop and will fold river if he airballs on the low? or is he loose and will go to showdown with anything? dream scenario would be, 3 bet to isolate. 3/4 him on a low board and pair 7s wins high. worst case: 3 bet to isolate and get action around the table. peel all the way to the river and make crying call with sevens up. somewhere in between: call preflop. try to flop a low draw and perhaps a back door clubs or backdoor set of sevens. make others call down with A3 low. keep the pot small so if you get 1/4, 1/6, it's not that bad. don't fold. |

HOWMANY said before this game goes at the Bike.
