That's pretty crazy.On a strat note, I'm not sure that this is a hand you want to go to war with pre-flop in PLO O8b.I wouldn't raise this hand. You have no low draw. If you're putting in lots of chips pre-flop, you need a solid two-way hand. You want to play this hand for cheap against multiple opponents who will chase low-only draws on a flop that connects to your hand.Monty

I saw that once before, but it was in Hold 'Em, so the board played. It was my first Royal.

Raising is a little laggy, but definitely not bad, especially in a tourney where pressure is key.The strategy of having a hand that goes both ways is a bit of a misconception. What youre really looking for is a hand thats likely to scoop the pot if it wins. 4 connected cards above an 8 are very playable, youre looking for a straight or somekind of full house or the ability to respresent something strong since u raised pre. Hands like 10987 or 5689 etc are hands which are problematic because even if you make a solid hand, youre most likely going to split the pot.

This is true, but he has enough of a stack to withstand the blinds. On average, he -will- pick up a better pre-flop hand before he is wounded.I'd definetly limp in his position, if I am going to play the hand. We don't have prior hand history, so we don't know how the other players are behaving. If they are going crazy pre-flop, I still want to limp/muck. If they aren't going crazy, I want to limp-see flop-make moves from there.You want to play hands that have scoop potential, and this is certainly one of them, but it's not a hand I'd raise in this situation. I'm not calling the play terrible, it's just a little LAG for my taste. Monty

Bleh, edit, ive obviously got ADD.Raising with that size stack probably isnt the right move considering the fact that if you get re-raised pre-flop you put yourself in an odd situation that you dont want to be in... Chances are someone with A2 is going to re-raise as well, so youre forcing yourself to gamble. 3x the BB when you only had 12 is dangeroso.

How are you in that hand in a PLO8 game? You have no low draw, and your high is pretty weak, considering people are going to be playing aces alot. Fold pf.
