Are you re-raising here?

[TightEnd]

typically that is, in the small blind with A2Ax Double suited?


No great analysis following the flop, I turned nut flush to win a pot

Probably yes, unless you've been playing so passively that a re-raise pretty much defines your hand as a monster.

Your only concern is the lack of cover for the low if an Ace or 2 drops.  Being out of position is a problem too but not so much in limit as in a pot-limit game.

You need to be building a pot here with hands like this in limit.

Everytime.

I cap it till the cows come home.

I would be reraising obviously, but I'm not sure I would be spending much more time in a 5/10 game where everyone folds to the cutoff who raises.  Although as you have 2 of the aces, it might not have been a typical hand.

I haven't played limit omaha8 for a while, I prefer to get my pain in short sharp doses from nlhe rather than for hours on end.

oops ignore comment about game being to tight just noticed the limper - I still stand by comment about pain

[boldie]

Everytime.

yep...I'd agree with that.

[JungleCat03]

Yes. Always. People putting money in with inferior hands preflop is where most of the money is in om/8 limit. I'd be suprised at 5 10 if the original limper folded.

If you had a different hand, say A234 I would flat call as this sort of hand needs to hit the flop to become strong and you want to play a big drawing hand like this against lots of people preflop.

With a hand like AA2J ds, its potency can be quickly reduced if a flop with a 2, 3 high cards with no A and no fd appears, so get as much in preflop whilst you are strong and charge the moron hands to draw.

Yes thanks

I did reraise and played it three way

Flopped the nut draws and turned nut-nut, took three quarters.

Intuitively it seems like you should be jamming A234 as well, given this position. If you can get the BB and the limper to fold, you have managed to get $10 of dead money in the pot and then HU against a hand that you should generally figure to have at least 50% equity against. if you were in EP and UTG raised, then I think you should prolly call because there is more chance of creating a family pot given ur position at the table, but in the spot tighty is in, Id be ramming A234 pretty hard as well. Not that I play this game much, but thats what my intuition tells me.

yeh well there's deinfitely an argument for putting in another raise with A234, but I would aiming to get the BB in with this hand. You'll almost never win the pot without hitting the flop hard with a hand like A234, unlike AA2J, so I want to entice people in. (Obviously the hand being what it is, it will connect with a lot of flops.)

I don't know for sure this is the correct approach and I know a lot of good players would jam this hand.

If i could be sure everyone would call, I'd be raising, so there are certain positions that I will raise this from eg big blind after loads of limpers.

In fact, I like to limp in EP with A234 to encourage extra limpers for the value from the A3's and 23's that will evitably chase post flop.
