Re: Two Omaha/8 Hands
Confusing NLO8! I almost said 'call turn' on hand 1 (because if you're facing a PSB this is a standard call), but here, no: your equity might be around 50% vs someone pushing a dubious high hand very hard (like KTxx, no low possible), but against top set or something like A2KT you're losing money by calling. Good fold.
Hand 2: teh gamblors showed up to pay off ur AAxx! Moneyz!! |

[/ QUOTE ] [b]Yeah, my table was doing a lot of gamboooling, so I figured someone might call my push [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] . Suited up AA with just a mild low in O/8 is a hand I don't like seeing cheap flops with. In this position, with 2 limpers and one guy who obviously bought in for the last of his BR (the guy who called me) I felt like I wanted to isolate one of them... because the hand could have gotten very ugly if it wasn't a HU situation. |
