Yes, nh.Yes, nh.And I agree with the line of re-raise AA3 (ss) preflop. You're ahead of almost every hand with the exception of AA2.

Being first to act on every street is definitely -EV. Although at the limits I play...I will occasionally toss in a dime to try to hit a monster. :twisted:

Pushing here is marginal at best. You have to be confident that your flush draw is live and your opponent doesn't have a nut low draw. For this particular hand you were a 51-49 favorite on the flop. Personally, I like bigger edges. :-)

If I was your opponent...I would probably jam here. You obviously like your hand....you'll call. This game is about getting your money in with the best of it.And nice takedown, btw.

Actually the game is so terribly understood that it can be a good moneymaker if you stick to a tight starting hand requirement. For instance, flop %ages at pacific are almost always >70% for full ring. The biggest drawback to these games are that the suckouts will obviously come left and right as pots usually get large enough to correctly chase 4 outers or less. :shock:

A system like this is much better suited to limit Omaha I think, and 9876 is definitely NOT profitable in limit Omaha.

I agree. AA7K is for more advanced players. Personally, I save heartache by just mucking it in limit.

If you can thin the field a bit, I would raise here (especially if it could buy you the button), but otherwise a limp is okay.I would bet more on the turn than a buck.And yeah, even if he does have 77...you have to push him in here. It's his own fault for playing the shortstack....be thankful he's dumb.

Well since this is PL...a good case can be made to see it for cheap and see if you can hit a big flop (like you would have). In limit O/8 though, I am probably mucking it because AA7 is a real pain to play without an ace flopping.

I would raise this big preflop. Then push hard on the flop assuming I thinned the field to 1 or 2 opponents. I take my chances against a flopped straight here. We are only a big dog to A23, which I doubt exists. But since you just called preflop, you played it fine postflop. You're roughly breaking even if you quarter.A2KK is much much better against fewer opponents. Make a substantial raise with this in LP.

Not necessarily. Both of these villains were forced to pay a full blind here. If I have trip 5's with a 7 kicker, I am usually not betting the flop here in a multiway pot, but I would bet the turn.

Yes, betting this flop is definitely a good option. I probably look for a free card on the turn if nothing develops though.

You might have been beat, but you make this guy sound like a lag, so you need to push back sometimes. I definitely like the flop raise. On the turn, I don't mind pushing here, because it could make him lay down the one hand that screws you the most JJxx. Either jam the turn like you did, or take a free card. Which one is better? I am on the fence. If you say he would lay down hands...I probably push. And if he flopped a straight with T8xx he deserves to lose anyway.

Definitely.anyone with sense has a good idea of what you have, and raising it is saying: I can beat that.

I have an EXTREMELY hard time believeng you can make 15BB per hour on a consistent basis "just playing good starting hands." That would seem to break every law of mathematics there is....maybe that's just me. I mean.......come on now.....15 BB an hour over a long period of time is just not sustainable at a limit game......I agree...unless you multitable stud...which is beyond me...lolHe even wrote 2-7BB/100 at the beginning. You're lucky to get 50 hands/hr at a full table. So it's more like 3.5BB/hr or $7/hr....which sounds about right if you are a good player.

For us to lose here, BB has to flop quads. The way SB played that turn, I am putting SB on 57 here. BB may have K5 or maybe 77. Since they are the blinds you really can't put them on a hand. I think we take our chances, and pot raise as the SB probably will fold if you flat call.

Well, I think it has to do with how multiway the pot is:When you watched the WSOP, how often did it get more than 3-handed to the flop? The fewer players going to the flop the more likely top 2 will be the best hand...and futhermore...betting it hard will likely give you more fold equity since you probably won't have multiple callers...just one at the most...and people at the WSOP actually lay down hands when they get inappropriate odds, well, everyone except Lawson.

No problems here.

Betting on the flop is good here, unless you are really sure someone else will bet for you.The turn really sucks, in my experience with limit omaha a raise means some type of boat more often than not (probably Q3...because that's too weak to bet out on the flop). Sane players arent calling the flop with just AQ here. I probably bet/call the turn too although this is probably spewing a bit. Easy fold on the river.

Check/fold the flop. Bottom 2 is worthless in limit omaha. So are gutshots. Villain doesn't 3-bet the flop here, hoping for overcalls maybe? Personally, I am 3-betting that flop with top set.

I am hoping there is a way to get it for existing users. Raketherake sent me an email saying that they weren't sure yet. I play a lot of O/8 at pacific. It's a pretty soft game, but it's been toughening up, or I am becoming more of a fish, etc. :twisted:

I hear so many complaints on the CP forum that their magazine arrives so late in the US...you'd be lucky to get it a year late in the UK probably.

28% rakeback? Do I need to make a new account? heheAnd them taking bonus points away is bull. It's only roughly equivalent to 2% rakeback anyway. At the highest limit tables now, (where I am assuming this guy is playing) the max rake is $5!!! I have earned less than $40 in bonus there though. Still have $9 in there. And he is right on the interest that they are probably earning off our money. The only lure is the players are so horrible.

The java site for Pacific is the same way. Sounds like potato chips there too...lol

Having cards that are all of the same suit definitely devalues the hand, but it is still stronger than having 4 different suits. Here is the math that tells you the probability you'll hit a flush by the river if anyone is curious. It's about twice as likely with 2 suited cards instead of 4.If you have 2 of a suit:11 other cards give you a flush of which you need 3:so there are 11*10*9/(3*2*1) = 165 ways to choose these cards.After these are chosen...we can have any of the remaining 45 cards in the deck to be on the board for the final two cards yielding:45*44/2 = 990 ways for the final two c
