ok not long before this i was huge chip leader and got unlucky in a few hands as you do in hi lo to gift lead away

after playing this hand even if i lost i would still be around 3rd in chips

when i called there was 13k in the pot i the call was 10k
and i had to know i had at best the low and pretty much dead on the hi unless he was playing a naked a2

was it worth calling?

i am calling 10k to win at best 6.5k and if he has the hi and also the low i would be at best getting 7.75 back for the 10k

this was IMHO one of the worst calls i could make in omaha hi lo

lucky i fought back after losing another 10k when i flop kkqq on a high flop and was forced into calling for all my chips

to chop 3 way and end my draught due to blow ups

wow, another happy chopper, you know what I think, weakness

[Ironside]

2nd place was 1080 the chop was for 1k each with blinds that hi and it being a split game i chopped

first time i have chopped in an online game but in PLo8 you have too when the blinds get so high that its either commit to a hand preflop or fold its not as easy as holdem

if it was holdem i would have played on as i felt i was slightly better than the 2 remaining players but there first game might be holdem i prefer PLO8

[wsopin07]

sorry, just having fun, if you thought it was right then great, how do you chop online???, i would not trust unless I know the other players

[Ironside]

oh i forgot to add 400$ is about 10% of my online bankroll that i cant refill and has been taking a huge hit recently so i was happy with taking the refill without risking getting quartered and beaten by high blinds

not all of us have big online bankrolls

we chopped by emailing support they came asked what the details were and if we all agreed then transfered the money after the event finished

it was my first online chop and in PLO8 wont be my last i hope

I think you've answered your question. In limit cash it might be worth it multi way, but these hands are money burners in PLO8 and chip killers in a tourny. Especially heads up.

Good to see you recovered to chop. Did delta3 participate in the chop? I have him pegged as a good Limit HE and O8 player, not seen him in PLO8 for a while.

[Ironside]

yeah he was in the 3 way chop

boobeewee out drew him to knock him out 3rd

then out drew me 2 hands in a row to turn round my 2-1 chip lead HU to win the extra cash
