simo_8ball 1 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Bet the flop rather than check/calling. You can't fold, so you may as well gain as much fold equity as possible.Raising those kind of hands preflop is good. Link to post Share on other sites
BudBundy 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I agree. Since you are short i like leading. If you were deeper , a check/raise would be good too. Link to post Share on other sites
bdc30 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 ^^^^^^^^^^^What both of those guys said -- plus, don't play with ½ buyin -- reload Link to post Share on other sites
BigLebowski 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 What all 3 of them said. If you are deeper, which you should be , then I would check raise this often. Link to post Share on other sites
natedawg2 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 On the 1/2 buy in topic, this is about my 4th of 5th time sitting at PLO or any Omaha for that matter..didn't really wanna lose, mostly observe and learn how it's played, compared to NLHE. Thanks for the tips! Link to post Share on other sites
jmbreslin 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 And don't raise UTG with that hand preflop, you'll be in a tough spot postflop. Link to post Share on other sites
simo_8ball 1 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 And don't raise UTG with that hand preflop, you'll be in a tough spot postflop.That's a 100% instaraise preflop. Link to post Share on other sites
BudBundy 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I sometimes re-raise UTG with that hand preflop. Link to post Share on other sites
jmbreslin 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Well, you guys are nuts. I could see raising from LP, but from UTG? Link to post Share on other sites
simo_8ball 1 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Well, you guys are nuts. I could see raising from LP, but from UTG?That is a premium hand. Link to post Share on other sites
jmbreslin 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 It is? Lots of straight potentials, yes, but no full house potential and only 1 half-decent flush potential. This is easily a hand that could get you into lots of trouble postflop. Link to post Share on other sites
simo_8ball 1 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I guess coming from holdem the premium hands appear different. KK and QQ aren't particularly powerful unless they are suited or well connected, but a hand like 3457 with one suit is actually deceptively strong, and has great equity on a large % of flops.I would much, much rather have 5689 single suited than KK82 rainbow.

BudBundy 0 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 My fav hand is 9875. I love 9875. 9875 is the nuts! Link to post Share on other sites
