Full Version: Bottom Set At Short Handed Table
FCP Poker Forum > Poker Strategy Forum > Omaha Poker

Don't have the exact hand history but i'll summarize as best I can.

4 handed
.01 - .02 PL Omaha

I am in the BB with J877 one suit.

Preflop-

UTG calls, BUTTON calls, SB raises to $0.04, HERO calls, UTG calls, BUTTON calls.

Flop - Ah,Qh,7d

SB bets $0.16, HERO calls, UTG raises to $0.80, BUTTON calls, SB calls ALL-IN


The small blind called all in for around $0.50, both the other players had about another $1.00 behind then. I had them all covered. At a full table or higher limits this is an easy fold I know. But, 4 handed against very weak opponents, anyone call here? Also should I have taken a different line and raised to put the small blind all-in instead of calling? If he flopped a higher set 4 handed, not much I can do, but raising might push the other two off straight or weak flush draws. Any thoughts?

It's a fold at higher limits and it's a fold here.

Smash always said "Bottom set is for suckers". And i am a commited follower of this. Bottom set out of position is worse. Fold.

Agreed.

The likelihood of your hand being best here as it is is virtually non-existent, and I don't see many cards that will improve your hand, either. Based on the action, you're likely drawing dead to the last 7.

In the very odd case that you are ahead, any heart, or any K, J, or T likely do you in. If someone has top two, then any board pair hurts you.

Basically, you've got a relatively weak hand, and more than 1/2 the deck hurts you.

Easy fold.

It's an obvious call. To make it in this game you need to have the cojones to make the stupidest play.

....

Fold.

Please. Fold.
