Re: ** Lounge Poker Talk **
What is going on in that last hand? Did alexia like somehow forget that they only get to play two cards from their hand and that they thought they flopped the straight? Otherwise they made no pair, had no flush draw, and only had an inside straight draw. Sheesh, Omaha makes my head hurt.

[/ QUOTE ] it's not exactly a straight draw, it's 9 outs to the nut straight. twice. However it was discounted by the two spades, so really it has like 6 clean outs. Not a good bet. |

Fish: It is very intimidating at first. But here is the BIG SECRET: No Limit is WAY WAY WAY easier to learn than Limit, once you get used the money going all in. 1-- Download Poker Stove. It is incredibly useful. 2-- Think about it. If you are playing 3/6 live, you will on average, for a hand you believe you will win, spend 3+3+3+6+6= 21 dollars. If you are playing live 40 max, you will be putting in half your stack when you have a winner. Once you get the big stack, the game starts becoming super fun. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, being the big stack -- or even the small stack -- bully is very fun in poker, and it can be really profitable. I think no-limit is a way better game than limit too. I don't think I've even played anything but the rare tournament in like almost two years. I wish Party would come back for Americans. I still have just a couple bucks left on Pokerstars, and am hesitant to put any more money anywhere with the laws going nutty on us like they have. |

db,
Whoops, that's why I suck at and avoid even looking at Omaha, I missed half the outs. |
