I think you should add http://www.pokerlama.com to the online odds calculators. It is an online version of pokerstove. Although it is not as fast as pokerstove, I really like it. It is better than twodimes for sure. It also does Omaha, though which is cool. I emailed the guy who makes it and he was saying he was adding a bunch of 7-card games too in the next few weeks. Although.....that was like a month and a half ago, so I don't know.

I would prolly treat this is a call/fold scenario more than a push/fold one. I mean I do not put him on a flush draw at all, so I think he likely has a 9, a FH, or is bluffing. I want to bluff to keep bluffin. So, I think I call or fold. I think I fold this often enough though, cause I think he has a FH often enough in a limped pot like this.People are right though that you gotta fold this more PF to avoid situations like this.

Is this shorthanded? Fold is the *smart* play, but I think I often call if its SH, since people bluff alot more. By checking the turn you have possibly induced a bluff. If he floated the flop, he has gotta think the 9 didn't help you. Also, some players will bet less with a 10 since you have shown no interest in the hand. So, its good to have reads(i mean some will push a 10 on the riv too)

You say it was obvious, but I found it interesting. My first instinct was to raise, but I see your point that given the stack sizes you are risking too much and not getting much more info. It seems you are about 50-50 at this point. Against the full range you described, I think you are 54%: http://www.pokerlama.com/#g~h!p~4!...!b~Jc_7d_4hBut, when I took out 55-22(which I think is less likely for an EP raise) you are 48.9%: http://www.pokerlama.com/#g~h!p~4!...!b~Jc_7d_4hSince, you know he will not fire a second bullet, calling seems better, but with bigger stacks, I think I raise. My ques

although, multiple people suggested folding on the river, so maybe it wasn't such a bad bluff by him. I agree with you though, that his river bet is too small to get enough hands to fold and that he must have actually thought that he was ahead, or wanted to prevent having to call a possible river bluff by you if he had checked.

I agree with petersun. Against a estimated range that might play like this on the flop and has a chance to call you, you are at most 34%: http://www.pokerlama.com/#g~h!p~4!...!b~9h_2c_JcI can *maybe* get you up to 40% if I throw in a weaker top pair like QJ: http://www.pokerlama.com/#g~h!p~4!...!b~9h_2c_JcFor the most part oyu seem to be beat. That said, if your read really is that he is just a bully, I wonder if it is better to just call the reraise on the flop rather than push. You are taking a risk to let him catchup on the turn, but atleast that way he will keep bluffin. With you all i

Hmm...I guess this seems *very* read dependant. I mean if you are 100% that sure that he is on something like a flush draw than you will win around 72%. ...below...I added a couple of the str8 flush type hands too.http://www.pokerlama.com/#g~h!p~4!...3;b~Ks_8d_Js_6dI think he is getting about 2:1 ($144:$75) on the call. So, it seems like even if he is only on the flush draw, that he should call, and you guys are both playing your hands "right" but just gamboling. If he has a stronger hand like two piar or a set, then you are obviously smoke.So...I guess like i said it is read dependent, but

I think your analysis is pretty much spot on. I tried messing around with this hand on this poker calculator I just found called at www.pokerlama.com. I was getting about 50% equity, and either above(in our favor) or below depending on how many of the weaker hands I put in. A random sample of opoonents hands, for example...http://www.pokerlama.com/#g~h!p~4!...!b~Ts_9d_QdI agree with your conclusion that we can likely outplay our opponent if we see more streets, since we have such a strong draw and may not really want our opponents to fold weaker, yet made hands.

Ok...I am still learning Omaha, so don't take this as the deffo truth, but I think this is a call.I mean, the worst hand that I could think that you could be against was like a made str8 with a flush draw which gives you 42.4% equity. http://www.pokerlama.com/#g~o!p~4!...!b~7h_5s_8sActually, I guess you could possibly be against a made str8 with a made set, that gives you only 33.3%. http://www.pokerlama.com/#g~o!p~4!...!b~7h_5s_8sJust looking at those seems limiting. i tried throwing in a bunch of random and not so random hands that might have connected with this flop and got that you have a

I liked how you played it except you raised WAY to little on the flop. I agree that if you think he might have flush, a check is good on turn to keep the small pot and draw to your FH for free. If oyu fill up, you can likely move in on the river and get paid agianst a flush.BUT, what is this raising by to $30 when a proper pot sized raise would be $80? OTherwise, I think you played it pretty well. If you think he is really tricky you might even occasionally call the river, but *very* occasionaly, like almost never.

I really don't like the raise to $15. The flush draw is getting great odds and you are pretty priced in to call a push on flop, so you are not really getting the info you need to make good decisions later.I would either push on flop like Jordan suggests or just smooth call his flop bet. Given stack sizes, pushing might be better since smooth calling will get you in stranger spots, but basically my decision depends on my read on the type of opponent. If he might be betting with a set but is the kind of guy who will slowdown if the flush comes, then I might just check/call down and lose smal

You palyed this pretty poorly. What sort of hand range are you putting him on? You probably have a better idea of what hands poeple would reriase with out of BB in your game than me. It is pretty important to put him on a a range and play accordingly, so I am curious.The reason I think you played it bad, is that you are pushing on a flop that has no draw. Sure, you'll get AK to fold, but pretty much only hands that call you are ones that have you beat. If you put him on a PP, then AA,KK, and JJ all have you beat. 10-10-99 should fold, but maybe if your oponent is bad you will get a call

I sometimes take a similar line. I like it. I think going close to full pot or push in this case is better than a 1/2 pot bet, since you want it to look like a bluff not a value bet. In fact, I often overbet the pot with my fake blufs, and you'd be surprised how often it still gets called.I do not use PT stats, so I don't know how to translate those numbers into a hand range, but I think villain has an overpair enough here to make it profitable. If he has a flush draw, you obviously want to get more moeny in on the turn, but I lean towards him having an overpair. If he has overcards, then

I found it interesting that you bashed the play of $1/$2 donkey's of being passive calling stations and the proceeded to describe a hand where you palyed it has passively and calling station esque as possible.Not raising preflop is okay, but be weary when you don't hit a set. I don't understand what you put villain on. An overpair, a 7, or an ace? I guess in the end they all beat you, but with more information you could a played this alot better. Raising flop is obviousy good really for a variety of reasons, and I think you realize this. As you played it, on the turn you have to decide if

Interesting. I didn't see it this way, but I guess i can kinda see your read. I mean, with the flush draw out there, are you assuming that villain puts you on a Queen and not a draw for calling the flop? Because I think that if I had KK, I'd bet more than half a pot on that turn.
