waldo 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 top and bottom pair is a pretty crappy hand in omaha, espically with a board like that with tons of draws, you may have the best hand now and still not be the favorite, you have no back door draws eitheri dont know what the other guy was thinking cuz almost every draw got there but this is .01/.02 so you really cant give other players that much credit Link to post Share on other sites
gobears 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I think that you got lucky; you're behind a lot of possible hands with your two pair.In Omaha, even short handed, that hand probably loses more often than it wins to the flush or trips. Link to post Share on other sites
KDawgCometh 2 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 uh, okay. Your hand is decent for a four handed game, but top and bottom pair suck balls in omaha to be hones. With that board you needed to play itr very carefully, which you didn't. You got very lucky Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 You WAY overplayed your hand and got lucky. The only thing I can think the villain had is 58XX for bottom two pair. There are so many hands here that beat you it's not even funny. Obviously 55, 88 or 1010 have you drawing slim to dead. Furthermore, any combination draw like OESD and flush draw (9sJsXX) is small favorite over you (55-45). Even a mediocre hand like AsJsQh3h is a literal coinflip since they have so many backdoor draws to beat you.ZaraP.S.
