The Hi-lo(w) Content Thread


Recommended Posts

Ok boys - anyone that checks the omaha forum and has seen the low content thread there might know where I'm going with this. I started playing plo about 8 months ago. At first I sucked. Badly. Simo8ball started the low content thread (known for the rest of the post only as lc thread - or just lc). I posted a shitload of hands in there. Some I thought I played well, some I knew I played poorly, and some were just funny or quirky or interesting. I played some o8 tonight for the first time in a loooong time. It's a nice break from plo, and I think I might mix in a bit of the hi-lo to the game these days.Therefore - I need a "home" in the o8 forum, and the lc thread is just that place. If you have a hand that you just want to show, brag about, bitch about, etc - this is where it goes. If it's got strategic content or you're looking for feedback, in here probably isn't the best spot...lolThrough the Omaha forum lc thread, BudBundy, Simo, Iggy and BigLebowski (before the last 3 disappeared) literally taught me how to play that game. I hope you guys can help me in the same way, and that I can do my part and give back to the forum as well.Cheers, and good luck!

Yes bdc30, the games are soft even at Full Tilt. The $50 buy-in is real soft and there's good value there. The hands that played against you in the 2 examples are very very weak. Normally would expect something a little better to play, but still they will sometimes draw to split(nuts). Yeh, like you said if you have strategy hands, best to post in a separate thread.

I'm confused...there are 4 hearts on the board but neither of you have 2 in your hand...so neither of you have the flush...

Ok boys - anyone that checks the omaha forum and has seen the low content thread there might know where I'm going with this. I started playing plo about 8 months ago. At first I sucked. Badly. Simo8ball started the low content thread (known for the rest of the post only as lc thread - or just lc). I posted a shitload of hands in there. Some I thought I played well, some I knew I played poorly, and some were just funny or quirky or interesting. I played some o8 tonight for the first time in a loooong time. It's a nice break from plo, and I think I might mix in a bit of the hi-lo to the game these days.Therefore - I need a "home" in the o8 forum, and the lc thread is just that place. If you have a hand that you just want to show, brag about, bitch about, etc - this is where it goes. If it's got strategic content or you're looking for feedback, in here probably isn't the best spot...lolThrough the Omaha forum lc thread, BudBundy, Simo, Iggy and BigLebowski (before the last 3 disappeared) literally taught me how to play that game. I hope you guys can help me in the same way, and that I can do my part and give back to the forum as well.Cheers, and good luck!

Have you considered moving up in limits at all? It's just my opinion, but if you are limping/flat-calling limps with KKA3 from MP full ring, what in gods name are you raising with?I was a career losing player at .50/1 o8b, and I moved up to $1/$2 and $2/$4 and turn solid profit just hijacking the role of table captain. They (usually) will figure out what you are doing after about a dozen orbits, but you'll be up enough you can nit up and match big hands with flops. I bring this up simply because I use to get frustrated by sleepnittingwalking my way though a half dozen ridiculously loose calling stations to beat rake on a good night at .50/1. Once I made the jump I felt I finally started getting the chance to play some actual poker on the stars tables.
