Title: PLO SnG - 2 Hands Post by: Tuffster on July 07, 2008, 08:26:48 PM One I suck out, the other takes me out.
Only a $2 PLO SnG as I'm still a novice at this form, the question is did I play these hands badly, or did I just get lucky/unlucky? Cheers 1st Hand: Blinds 50/100, 5 of 6 players remaining, I'm UTG with 1210 remaining. Hole Cards: 4s Qs Ks Kh I pot it and get 3 callers (only SB folds). Flop: Qh Td Qd BB Checks, Only 860, with a pot of 1450, so I go all-in. Cut-Off calls, rest fold. CO turns over Qc Ts x x for a full Spike the Kd for a better full (lucky fish) 2nd Hand: Blinds 100/200, 3 of 6 remaining (Bubble-time), I'm on the BB with 3170, all 3 stacks even. Button folds and serial raiser on SB raises it to 500, 300 to call into a 700 pot. Hole cards: 3c 5d 6d 8d. Flop comes 6s 7s 8c. SB pots it for 1000, I have 2,670 left so with 2 pair and an open-ended, push all-in and get called. (I get 80 chips returned) SB: 3h 4h Jc Js Turn: 3s River: 7d So Jacks and sevens beats my eights and sevens. (why don't I get anything for 4-pair in Ohama! ;angel;) The question is, could I have played either of those two hands better, I'm pretty sure that the first hand pretty much played itself and I just got v. lucky, the second hand is more of an interesting one. Was the pre-flop call too loose? Then given the 2-pair and draw, was the push unreasonable? Or overall, should I not bother analysing a $2 PLO SnG as no-one involved (including me!) has the faintest idea how to play the game? Cheers guys. (Stands back and waits for everyone to flame me.)

i agree with Flushy Title: Re: PLO SnG - 2 Hands Post by: Tuffster on July 08, 2008, 01:17:56 PM Cheers guys.
With hind-sight, agree, should really have pushed in the 2nd hand. I'm a bit of a mathematician, so always have odds in mind. There's a plethora of Hold'em odds sites around, but does anyone know of one for Omaha? Also, how bad a shape would I have been pre if I'd got it all in? My complete guess would be about 60/40 ish dog. Cheers Title: Re: PLO SnG - 2 Hands Post by: Royal Flush on July 08, 2008, 01:20:21 PM Cheers guys.

I'm looking to get a cheap flop and get my money in miles infront. I don't pot either hand pre.

Cheers Tuffster, try this... http://www.cardplayer.com/poker_odds/omaha As for the hands, the first absolutely fine, 2nd is marginal as whether re-raise or call, player preference... Only it flops, nothing you can do... |
