blonde poker forum

Someone please help me with this! The cash game at the International in Aberdeen has a reputation for being a bit out there, words like 'sick' and 'wild' have often been thrown at it, but last night it sunk to a new low when, at 4am, the 3 remaining players, for want of a better word, chose to play 14 card PLO Hi/Lo! Anyway the question arose; whats the optimum starting hand? Post the answer and I'll stick it on our notice board for future reference.
By the way if your wondering what sort of nutter would play such a game, allow me to enlighten you;

AAAA234567KQJT


obv quadruple suited

lol - how are you going to hit quads with that pile of crap

A2345678JJQQKK

Connected in all four suits

James is correct - You can't split the lo end

You don't need to. Nobody else can either!!

Think I'd drop one of the aces for a 9 to improve the straight. We don't need all 4 even for the flush.

Take A A A from three suits. Then K Q J to match these for straight flush possibilities. Then T8765432 in the other suit to stop anyone else getting a flush in that suit. I know they still could but it's a very long shot.

If Ironmug is playing I don't care..just outplay him on the flop :)

What? No Ten? How you gonna hit a high straight unless one hits the Board??

Don't drop the 4th A - half pot guaranteed every time it qualifies and mucho quartering at the same time..

Listen son I made a living on the 14 card omaha circuit for years b4 the damn internet was invented and qwodz is THE hand for the monies.

btw you do all know that getting the "best" hand is about as likely as getting a hand that you should fold preflop?

lol..you nit..folding 50% of your hands in 14 card PLO...that's way too tight.

Can we play 14 card omaha 8 at BB7??

Can we, can we, can we.

Please please please.

Just 3 of us though i suppose  :)

We can, but I use a point count system which means that I take an hour before the flop to decide what to do.

So the same system as you have for Hold em then?

I like the sounds of this game :)

Anyone wanna play for wages next week?

Haha Id just like to point out just straight 10 card PLO is miles better than 14 PLO Hi/Lo split......Goddam that ironside for choosing this game a few times last night.  He's a hi-lo specialist apparently..................

As for the best starting hand.  I would like AAAA2345KKQQJT with the 4 aces suited and the other cards equally spread amongst the suits.  Ironside would find a way to outdraw it mind you.

Anyone who fancys taking us on at this game is welcome to come to Aberdeen.  We've been cleaning out wandering poker forum minstrals for years at such games.............

aa23456789tqkds would be my choice. If the board isnt paired or flushed you have the nut straight more often than not (and a straight is the most common winning hand in omaha) ,even if the board is paired as log as the pair is the highest card you have the nut full house ( or 2nd nut boat if it isnt the highest card paired). You also have a 50% chance of having the nut flush if its a flushed board. Sure you may have to give up a 1/4 or an 1/8th of the pot but at least you are going to be able to play a big pot. If you have aaaa in your hand not many will play a big pot with you imo.

come on up mondays.tuesday.wednessday and fridays


just cause you had to fold the nut high with the pot around £400 when i nutted up high and low
wish i had your dicpline the last hand when i went drawing for the high with the nut low in my hand and did myself out of £150

so when we going to get super stud and PLO8 double into the choice of games

i am getting board with 6 card double and 8 card progressive irish not enough action in them

Having AAAA in your hand is absolutely essential to having the premium hand because if you have this you and only you can have the nut Low, providing excellent bluffing opportunites to buy which would othrwise be a split pot, and also you are the only person who can ever have an ace high straight.

The Premium hand is AAAAKKQJT65432

The Gold has spoken

I can see your point Jamie but id rather have the QQ than add the 6into the low hand.

Ironside you motherf***er lol just for the record I had nut high and 2nd nut low

Flop K85 two clubs.  Important cards in my hand KKA24679 with nut clubs

I checkraise flop (ironside obviously bets when checked to him, ty kind sir).  Ironside calls

Turn 2 (pretty shit but my hand still decent) I bet 100 quid, Ironside calls

River 7 not a club.  Gay, I have nut high but only2nd nut low.  I check to ironside who bets near 400 quid.  I have to fold as I lose 70 pound on a call if he has nut nut and thats all I can put him on (I only haev one 6 and one 9 in my hand).  I fold disgustedly and a very happy ironside tables nut nut.  MOTHER F***ER!!!!!!!!!!!

my hand was something like A234566789TTJK i had 5 or 6 clubs in my hand so i have blockers for his boats and flushes and all over the straight
i was loving the turn as the only cards i didnt nut on the high was a paired board a queen or a club

ref 14 card hi/lo     ironside/superjez and jamie gold wouldnt recognize a premium starting hand if it hit them on the face.
they cant fold 6 cards never mind 14

i would refer them to mr. lees book on 14 card hi/lo for further sdtudy.

No one is doubting your superior folding skills to any other mortal on the face of the planet. Now you just need to work on when to bet, raise, bluff, check, float and call!

Ironside dont lie you admitted afterward you dint have A2 and were only drawing to an A3 low!  you did have a few clubs tho yeah.  Admiral, we could all find use with lessons from the celebrity chef imo, well all of us apart from Razor maybe.

"something like"

yeah i am not sure if i had the 2

You didnt have it.  mother f***er!!!!!!

rotflmfao

wow -  can u imagine if I was in that hand !!!!!!!!!  - it would take me all nite to raise or fold!!!!!!!!  lol

Vote for Celebrity Chef Mr Li to make a monthly appearance - everyone in the hoose say aye!!!!!

aye

stuart where where you last night?

ironside you big fish

fits up super"i will suck out on les for a £1500 pot"jez

oy more like 1700 and les dished out some beats of his own lsat night, much worse than that one, i had OESD plus nut flush draw

best hand is obvious 66667777888899, anyone up for some high stakes rileys action on sunday?
