nh's, but the thing about NLO8B is that theres a lot of variance where youll have an open ended straight flush draw with the nut low draw and miss.. and you lose lots. but yeah, o8b is a goldmine.

yeah, I don't really think you can just describe a couple of hands where you very easily could have lost (because you didn't have the nutz for either board hi or lo) but did win and then declare the game a gold mine.This is a difficult enough game to play in a limit or PL structure because of those variances. And I garuntee if you continue to play those hands the same way your gonna get bit in the ass eventually. Just in drawing to the nutz and the nutz only you can still get hit pretty bad, but because you are gonna hit those nut draws once in a while it will not sting as bad.Typically, most people that do well in this only play the outs to the nutz of the hands, playing or drawing to the best hands possible that the board presents. You did none of that and took down some huge pots. Good for you and good job. I still think you might be a little hasty in calling this an easy fishing hole though.Los

No offense OP but be happy that you won what you did.If you continue to play marginal hands in those situations your gonna take a few hits to your BR. Playing correctly even O8NL can have lots of variance...playing weakly your gonna have a really bad streak...But i'm sure your not going to listen...enjoy it while it lasts

If you found a spot where free money was dispensed, would you tell everyone? I never understand people like this. If you found something you think is very profitable, why go and spread it everywhere just to show off? What a knobPS, I'm not trying to act like people don't already know this fact, but keep it to yourself dumbass

No. It was most certainly not an O.K. play, and we shouldn't even have to tell you why. On the flop, you had three outs to the current nut high and low (a non-club ace), eight outs to the current nut high but nowhere near the nut low (four sevens, one of which would give you a straight flush, four deuces, one of which would give you a straight flush), and 7 additional outs to a flush that isn't worth a pot to piss in... oh, and a few more outs (any 6) to the butt end of a straight (again, no nut low). Yes, all those outs look pretty heads-up, but for my $74 raise, the ONLY card that I'm happy to see on the turn is a non-club ace. It's worth noting that several of your outs would have split high and low with him. It's also worth noting that if he had a set or two pair with two low cards that weren't on the board, then he would have been a favorite over you to scoop the pot, and the split percentages would have been close. In most of those situations with all the money in, if the board pairs, you're screaming bloody murder.Yes, you had about a 2-1 advantage in EV (and a 2-1 scoop edge) before the flop, but ONLY by virtue of the fact that your opponent happened to have an even worse hand than you did (which isn't likely to happen often if you call raises with 2368, soooooted or not).Would I make the same move? Perhaps, but I have huge leaks in my game, which I recognize but don't always work to fix. However, you strike me as the gambling type who sees a few draws and instantly tries to jam the pot. Against a better opponent, the only hand that will call you there will have an edge over you in equity, and would probably also be holding the nut low draw.Bottom line, based on the examples you've given, you're not crushing the game, you're basically betting on black or red and hitting a few times.

No see you really did need to tell me why. I learned a lot there. However, the thesis of this thread was that the level of play is low. I had been watching this guy play a lot and it was clear that these guys were playing bad cards. So I was pretty sure I was ahead when I pushed or at least close enough to get him to fold. Sorry for making you explain....but I appreciate it.

Great post Dunkin. Cane, based on the hands you posted, you have some serious leaks in your game. I would recommend checking out O8poker.com and reading SS2.

I for one don't think that telling the people here on FCP is telling EVERYONE!!If i find a consitant way to make money playing whatever i will be the first to tell everyone on here.

alright. I actually own SS2.....and I have some free time this week which is nice. Quitting your job is very satisfying for the first couple months.In my defense....a lot of these plays are at very short handed tables with dumb dumb opponents who kept showing down mediocre holdings. but I still need the help. 16K tonight hoosier? I keep amassing a really big stack early and then I go completely card dead and blow up in hour 3. Any advice on that DUNKIN? (by the way I am a big fan of the grammar police)
