wp519 0 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 That is, do you have the courage to do it?I couldnt find the courage last SNG I just played, I just knew he had A2 of the suit on board, and my J7A3 was going to get clobbered. (KQ476 with KQ7 being my J3 suit)Of course I was in the BB and got to play for free, which I just hate so much more, as facing a raise, I fold that crap.The smooth call on turn did send warning bells to me, but Im too stupid to fold I guess. Is folding hands like this an acquired talent? Or do I just suck? Link to post Share on other sites

JacKingOff_suit 0 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Yes, O8 is all about nuts and scooping, fold to your 2nd nut high and 2nd nut low. Sometimes you may even want to fold your nut-low only hand too, you don't want to get only 1/2, 1/4... of your investment back.Edit: here's another tip, if you've got the nut high but without nutlow and you feel like there are two or more suckers are holding lows, you want to keep them in as much as possible. For example, if you are in early position, you don't want to bet too much so you can keep them in if they are passive players, and some times those aggressive nut low holders s will keep raising each other and the second nut high will keep calling, that will be the sweetest moment of O8.
