This one is bugging me, $400 PL08
http://www.pokerhand.org/?373425
As you can see, $400 PL08 I was on the button and dealt, Player Higamus who was kinda LAGy raised pre-flop to $14, with two callers, one of whom was Lesthugs who seems like a reasonably tight solid player. Flop comes: Higamus pots for $69, Lesthugs repots for $276... I fold. Anybody think this was a mistake? The results obviously rankled me: Turn: River: Higamus shows: Les Thugs shows: so I would have scooped. To my way of thinking, I was on a total draw, with poor prospects for the low, and only a straight draw for perhaps the high. Does anyone think I had enough equity against a range of hands to essentially put in all my chips? I was totally shocked that no one showed A3. |

Looks like a standard fold to me. Weird hand though.

Re: This one is bugging me, $400 PL08
ugh, certainly can't fault you for folding there. It would seem like the only possible cards you would make $ on would be the A or maybe 3 some of which are undoubtedly in your opponents hands. I don't know, maybe in a multiway hand such a draw has some value. Why does it sometimes seem like in PLO8 the most money is made when you do the wrong thing at the right time, hehe?

Re: This one is bugging me, $400 PL08
Thx.
I can't come up with any logical hands that give me much more than 30% EV. I was just wondering from this example if I was starting to shy away from positive EV situations too much at higher limits when people bet before me, but I think not. I like the way the flop hits my hand, but the betting, especially when we are talking about the probable low cards that people hold just screams "get out". But this is really the make or break stuff of higher limits, choosing which hands to go to war with. If I am at 30% this is a fold, and if I am 40% it is arguably move in against 2 opponents. |

Re: This one is bugging me, $400 PL08
If it's raised and called preflop and I'm looking at a 23x hand I try and find the fold button. Too many aces are likely gone to make your hand very viable.
As it was, these 2 had some questionable hands to put that kind of $$ in with and you still didn't have 30% on the flop (which hit you as hard as you can reasonably ask for with your hand.) http://twodimes.net/h/?z=1785106 pokenum -o8 6d 2s 3c 5s - ad as 5d 7s - ah qh 5c 7d -- 4d 2c qs Omaha Hi/Low 8-or-better: 666 enumerated boards containing Qs 2c 4d cards scoop HIwin HIlos HItie LOwin LOlos LOtie EV 5s 2s 3c 6d 88 266 400 0 62 348 3 0.273 As 7s Ad 5d 180 297 350 19 0 62 351 0.497 5c 7d Ah Qh 38 84 563 19 0 62 351 0.230 If even one of them has A3 (more likely) then it's even worse: http://twodimes.net/h/?z=1785119 pokenum -o8 6d 2s 3c 5s - ad as 5d 7s - ah qh 5c 3d -- 4d 2c qs Omaha Hi/Low 8-or-better: 666 enumerated boards containing Qs 2c 4d cards scoop HIwin HIlos HItie LOwin LOlos LOtie EV 5s 2s 3c 6d 35 150 420 96 0 377 36 0.188 As 7s Ad 5d 180 363 303 0 0 342 71 0.434 5c 3d Ah Qh 52 57 513 96 308 0 105 0.378 I think you are right about the make-or-break stuff of higher limits, but this situation is going to be 'break' (for you) a lot more often than 'make' IMO. |

Re: This one is bugging me, $400 PL08
I made a post about calling raises with 23xx hands recently on btp. If you can put someone here on AAxx, and 1 caller on Axxx, your are usually drawing dead here for nutlow in most scenarios, as you are assuming you need an Ace to hit to make a winning low. Otherwise, you are generally drawing to non-nut straights most of the time, although I will admit that it is an appealing hand.
Back to your actual hand... seems like too much of a gamble on that flop 3-handed... heads-up, depending on read, I might push it. |

Re: This one is bugging me, $400 PL08
This a standard fold. Please don't post hands like this. With that action in front of you: someone has a decent made high with likely redraws against your straight + someone likely has A3 + some of your outs are probably dead + and most of the outs which make your hand complete the low << 33% equity. You don't need twodimes to tell you this.
And I'm not sure of your exact hand or the exact high card on the board, but you were getting freerolled all to hell today: pokenum -o8 2s 3c 4c 6s - ac 5d 8s 3s -- as 5s 9d 6d Omaha Hi/Low 8-or-better: 40 enumerated boards containing As 5s 9d 6d cards scoop HIwin HIlos HItie LOwin LOlos LOtie EV 6s 2s 4c 3c 9 9 31 0 40 0 0 0.613 8s 3s Ac 5d 0 31 9 0 0 40 0 0.388 |

Also this beats a lot of posts recently by certain people who shall remain nameless, but their screen name starts with an C and ends with an R with ONFISCATO in the middle. |
