Full Version: High Board, Worst Boat Possible

Right at the end of an almost 2-hour session. I had been outplaying the opposition all session but never able to take down a really big pot. This was the first really tough decision I faced. Villain joined not too long ago, so not much info.

Full Tilt No-Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, $0.02 BB (5 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

MP ($2.44)
Button ($3.91)
SB ($1.84)
Hero (BB) ($3.24)
UTG ($0.64)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5, 8, 4, 4
UTG calls $0.02, 1 fold, Button calls $0.02, SB calls $0.01, Hero checks

Flop: ($0.08) 9, 4, Q (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $0.08, UTG calls $0.08, Button calls $0.08, 1 fold

Turn: ($0.32) Q (3 players)
Hero bets $0.32, 1 fold, Button raises to $3.81 (All-In), Hero ???

Easy fold? The only hand he could be playing this way that I beat is a Q, but even then he has outs to a better boat on the river.

I would only call against a very loose aggressive player in that spot.

he has q9 so often there i would lay odds on it. easy fold.

I think this could be a naked A2xx more often than you give it credit for. Regardless, folding>calling. I really hate getting forced into pots with 4458 from the bb, cuz it's such a negative freeroll more often than not.

At these stakes it would be incredibly rare for a player to bet a naked A2 like this.
