dingas 0 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hand 1I have Ac 2d 5c Jh in cutoff. Two limpers to me, I raise pot, button folds, sb calls, bb doubles my raise, limpers fold, I call, sb calls.Flop is 4h 6h Jc giving me a nut low draw with backup, a gutshot, top pair, and a backdoor nut flush draw. sb makes a min bet, bb raises half the pot, I. . .Me, the sb, and bb all have reasonable sized stacks.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hand 2 I have Ac Kh 2s 4c, one limper to me in MP, i raise pot, button, sb, bb and limper call.Flop is Ks 3h 2h giving me top and bottom pair with a gutshot and nut low draw.sb, who is shortstacked, moves all in, the limper calls. Do you raise or just call here? Me and the limper both have fairly big stacks. Link to post Share on other sites
KVOM 0 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hand 1:Without knowing BB's style it seems like a crapshoot. You could be drawing for a quarter at best. I would probably call. My style is not to raise pree-flop with A2wX.Hand 2:It's hard to believe you're behind both ways, so a raise seems reasonable if you're willing to commit your stack to the pot regardless of the turn. Otherwise a conservative call would be OK as well. Link to post Share on other sites
moneytoburn 0 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hand 1: Stack sizes would be nice to know here. I'm not sure what Sb is doing in this hand..... With no read on BB it is fairly certain that he has A 2 as well. With the weak mini raise pre flop it looks as though he will push his nut low if he gets there, essentially quartering out of all are chips if SB has some sort of high. With that thinking, I pot here with some fold equity from the SB and trying to get it heads up with BB where at least we have a chance to get 3/4. Reads would help a lot in this hand.............. Hand 2: Pot the flop when it gets back to you, I don't really see a case for anything else. Link to post Share on other sites
jjgoldy5 0 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I'm fairly new to PLO8, but I think a raise is in order in hand #2.The call by the limper screams weakness to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Chamonyx 0 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 H1: Looks like SB has nut flush draw, and BB has A23. I call and try to see the turn. If SB re-raises and BB calls, I call. If either pushes, I am probably done.There are lots of interesting cards that can come on the turn that let me put the heat on...or go home.H2:You have to raise here to try to get a free card on the turn if a heart comes - as well as building the pot to potentiallyget 3/4.

JacKingOff_suit 0 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 H1, I basically concur what greatwhite said. Besides, none of the other players have shown significant strength.H2. I will raise just like what the others said. Link to post Share on other sites
