Drop the flush draw with this board?yes. there probably won't be a low (you have a weak low draw anyway) so you're playing for half the pot and you won't have the nuts even if you make your hand (which you won't about 64% of the time). only draw to the nuts.

Drop the flush draw with this board? Only if you like money.

I'm novice boy.But are we calling only because we have good position and likely 6 going to the flop? In PLO8..I guess you can limp for many hands and fold almost all on the flop? THiss hnad jsut doesn't look all that strong

How is he playing for half the pot if there won't be a low?lol. brain fart. sorry. you knew what i meant.

I understand the hand isn't real strong. I limped in this passive game with one suited to hit the nut flush and a long shot low draw. I don't know if that's smart at a higher limit.Actuary, you fully credentialed? I passed course 6 last friday.

I don't like getting involved with this hand pre-flop, even if it is micro limits. By NOT playing hands like that, the money you save can sure add up 8) On the flop, check/fold. 8)

Now which books tell you not to play this hand [5d], [4c], [8s], [Ac]?SS or SS2?This is a very playable hand, in fact I will raise it half of the time at the CO position. You've got Ace, two prime cards, nut flush potential, good straights potential...

I got carried away with my 8) 's. It was supposed to be a :wink: .I don't recommend raising it after two limpers though. 8)

I like this hand pre-flop, specially on the button.Clear fold on the flop.In relation to your other question, I would stick around with 223, 233 or any paired board that hits your hand for a boat - although I would probably be raising / reraising with these on the flop
