No question. Title: Re: New hi/lo ? Post by: Gryffles on March 17, 2006, 06:34:38 PM I like flatcalling and hoping he donks off his chips on the turn.
If he seems a better player than that, raise it there and then. PS: Folding works here as well, you've only got a board lock on the low and a nut flush draw, low equity! ;goodvevil; Title: Re: New hi/lo ? Post by: Alex Scott on March 19, 2006, 11:42:41 AM With a little wrap to the straight, the nut flush draw, and the nut low draw, I'm raising (unless I think he'll fold to a raise, 'cos I want his money in the middle).
Hands like this are the money makers in NL/PL Omaha Hi/Lo. I'd like to get all-in on the flop and hope that a hand with only one way possibilities, like A-J-J-9 or just a low draw called me. I've been playing a fair bit of NLO8 recently and you'll be surprised how often you end up all-in against hands like those. Notice that even against a hand like top set you're in fantastic shape with 65% equity in the pot! Title: Re: New hi/lo ? Post by: goonner on March 20, 2006, 10:10:11 AM With such a strong hand I was tempted to bet the pot,
but figured I would only get called by a very big hand if there was one out there but with 3 players in front of me willing to pay for another card I decided to raise $10 making it hard for any of them to fold. Sure enough they all called and the turn brought the 9c not great but still very nice. With only 30 seconds to act I don’t have time to work out all the outs for a scoop/split possibilities. As I anticipated they all checked to me. Now do I bet the pot, another pot-building bet or check? Title: Re: New hi/lo ? Post by: lolo on March 23, 2006, 09:32:53 AM I would bet the pot
The pot is big already related to the blinds and the stacks You still have a massive draw (counted 28 outs for nut high or/and nut low) and it's mot likeky that nobody has a set of Jacks (he would have probably bet the pot on this board to try to protect his hand), I can't see anydody having a set of 9s (what would he have called the flop with ?) By betting, you can get heads-up which may help you win high even if you miss (like you're heads up with a A245 hand : any Jack or 9 wins high) If you're called in more than 1 place, you need to improve but your pot equity is huge By checking, you let them the chance to beat you with a mediocre hand (say somebody has A257 and hits a 5 on river or TJQK and hits an offsuit 9,J Q K) and you don't want that Just my opinion |
