"stupid question right...."

[csuf_gambl0o0r]

does anyone else just fold this garbage preflop?

[paulw]

yeah i fold pre and as played i probably check flop and re-asses

[TimsterToo]

I would have folded preflop but since we're in the hand I do see myself getting allin on the flop. Probably just means I still have to learn a lot about Omaha [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I like the call pre-flop in a multi-way pot. Don't be such nits you guys.

Flop is probably a fold because you're right, unless the raiser is a donk, you're either behind to a set + flush draw, splitting, or being freerolled by straight + draw.

[wazz]

You guys really fold this pre? 'Garbage'? Well, I guess I've been living off your scraps for a while....

This should be a fold on the flop, I think, depending on the guys you're in with. It's about the most dangerous possible board for the naked nut straight, and you don't need to be up against the straight with redraws to be in trouble, you just need to be up against the straight and someone else to have a good draw.

[Ribbo]

and that's why you fold preflop. The only way your cards ever work together is when you flop the nut straight with a nut flush draw. Other than that rare occasion you're always playing 2 cards in a 4 card game.

[wazz]

Wait, what, it should be a fold preflop because you could flop the nuts and be freerolled? If it is a fold preflop (it isn't) surely this can't be why.....

[piiop]

lol @ folding that preflop

plz
