Title: Quick Omaha Starting hand Question Post by: Graham C on December 01, 2006, 10:50:09 PM PokerStars Game #7256520336: Tournament #36701404, $8.00+$0.80 Omaha Pot Limit - Level IX (300/600) - 2006/12/01 - 17:51:35 (ET)
Table '36701404 12' 9-max Seat #6 is the button Seat 1: loucas1 (17224 in chips) Seat 2: IADAWG (5899 in chips) Seat 4: tigg47 (10232 in chips) Seat 6: scottington (18296 in chips) Seat 7: irishfan3307 (9892 in chips) Seat 8: Graham0573 (9744 in chips) Seat 9: Gtoutofmypot (8942 in chips) irishfan3307: posts small blind 300 Graham0573: posts big blind 600 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Graham0573 [3d Qd Ad Td] Any good? Does the fact that it's all suited make it less good? Title: Re: Quick Omaha Starting hand Question Post by: Enzyme_ on December 01, 2006, 11:10:45 PM less good imo id prefer QT to be suited and the A3 to be another suit! tho the hand is still playable!
Title: Re: Quick Omaha Starting hand Question Post by: Graham C on December 01, 2006, 11:21:32 PM If someone 2nd to act raised the pot (another 800 for me to call) would you call? It's the later stages of an mtt, 17 left I believe.
I folded btw, it's not going anywhere, but I'm not really a big omaha player. I've only played a few times but I really like it :) Title: Re: Quick Omaha Starting hand Question Post by: Sheriff Fatman on December 01, 2006, 11:26:37 PM Fold it. Monotone hands are weak as you've naturally got no pairs and are drawing to a single flush, for which you're holding two of your 'outs'.
There's some value in the high cards in this hand but the 3 'dangler' weakens it somewhat. Its not coordinated enough to play to an early raiser. Good fold. Sheriff PS: Just wait till you get dealt AAAA - I guarantee you'll want to play it, or show it to someone, but its about as bad a hand as it gets. 100% ahead preflop, 100% guaranteed not to improve! Title: Re: Quick Omaha Starting hand Question Post by: Graham C on December 01, 2006, 11:34:03 PM Cheers guys.
I have trip aces before and called the bb, folded on the flop. I've had quite a few trips actually, no 4 of a kind yet though I don't think.

I got that once, I played it just to play it, I just bet it really heavy as I had a huge chip lead, Took the pot then showed, All of a sudden the chat box goes mental with half the table calling names and the other half piss taking. Whole table never respected a bet from me after that, got paid for the nuts everytime. ;D Title: Re: Quick Omaha Starting hand Question Post by: ifm on December 02, 2006, 12:08:58 AM PS: Just wait till you get dealt AAAA - I guarantee you'll want to play it, or show it to someone, but its about as bad a hand as it gets. 100% ahead preflop, 100% guaranteed not to improve! A good bluffing hand if a flush comes though :D Title: Re: Quick Omaha Starting hand Question Post by: tantrum on December 02, 2006, 05:05:12 PM RE:

I would have folded your hand graham. Title: Re: Quick Omaha Starting hand Question Post by: tantrum on December 02, 2006, 05:24:34 PM thanks redsimon.
