iggymcfly 0 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hopefully, this hand's a little more interesting than the last one. The stack sizes make it tricky.PokerStars Pot-Limit Omaha High, $2 BB (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)MP1 ($198)Hero ($340.15)CO ($96.30)Button ($455.20)SB ($129.70)BB ($77)UTG ($38.25)UTG+1 ($250.05)Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 7, 8, 4, 9. 1 fold, UTG+1 calls $2, MP1 calls $2, Hero calls $2, 1 fold, Button calls $2, SB completes, BB checks.Flop: ($11.4) 6, 5, 2(6 players)SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets $11.4, Button raises to $40, SB folds, BB folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, Hero...What do we do here? Do we repot looking to get all-in against a naked nut straight but getting in bad against a straight with a good redraw or do we just peel, picking up bluff outs if the board pairs, looking to get all-in if we make a better straight, and ending up pretty much lost if hearts hit? Note: The way the table's been playing, I'd be shocked if button doesn't at least have 43, but I have no idea if he has a redraw and how he'd play with or without one from here.

Whiskey16 1 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I think it's a re-pot.If he's got 34, and your flush draw is live, I'm counting 20 outs. If your flush draw isn't live, I'm still counting 11 outs.I'm willing to get in on this flop. Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 OK, that's what I figured too since I'd probably have a hard time getting paid off against the straight if I hit my hearts. Anyway, I got in about as good as I could as villian pushed all-in over my repot with the straight and a 7-high flush draw to my 9-high flush draw. I looked it up on Cardplayer and I was a 2:1 favorite when the money went in.None of my 19 (I think that's right) outs hit and villian won the pot. The board did end up pairing which I absolutely would have tried to steal on if I still had chips left.Not worried about results here though. I was just thinking that with villian basically turning two of his cards face up with the raise, and with him having the option to call and wait for a safe turn if he has no flush draw, this hand might do better with a call. Glad to see I'm with the consensus here though. Link to post Share on other sites

iggymcfly 0 Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 puuuuuuuuuuuuuuusssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhIf this was an option, it would have been an easier decision. In this case though, villian had $200 behind after I repotted. I still think a repot was the right decision, but if villian calls and waits for a safe turn, it does put me in an awkward spot.
