Top two looks good to me there, I think he just had a pair of queens.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Boat over Boat<BR/><BR/>I think I check-call the river with the underboat, there. Still might have cost the same...<BR/><BR/><BR/>Best draw...<BR/><BR/>Played itself out...either he would fold to your flop raise if was cbetting, or he'd go to the felt with an overpair.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Flopped nut boat does not hold up<BR/><BR/>When your nut boat is that vulnerable, I don't like the flop check. Any ace likely has 9 outs to beat you. That's the same as a flush draw in hold'em. For the same reason you protect against flush draws in hold'em, you should protect against better boat draws in O8, especially when it's aces full, and everyone plays their aces in O8. Make them pay to draw!<BR/><BR/><BR/>2 pair slow play by villain<BR/><BR/>Did he slowplay, or was he genuinely afraid of the flushes, straights, etc. that were beating him? Hard to say with just a hand history, but I'd be looking at this guy's future hands to try and determine what his angle was on that hand.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00129622740872167902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012366747492399470.post-90985062147944358962008-01-01T11:11:00.000-08:002008-01-01T11:11:00.000-08:00Joe,Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. I...Joe,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. I basically agree with about everything you said so unfortunately no great debates here. On hand 1, the chat indicated he was weak tight. He kept saying I can't beat you guys so I thought he would fold the better hand.<BR/><BR/>On hand 2 I was pretty hesitant on my turn call. A call or a fold were both acceptable.<BR/><BR/>On hand 4, I would love to be a hero but it was O8 so I was just betting my nut low and hoping a weak high would fold. I went into shock when I won the high.<BR/><BR/>You are right about the dumb players coming out on Sunday. The last hands were all Sunday hands.<BR/><BR/>Off to Vegas now.

I don't like your bluff here...A new post, hooray!<BR/><BR/>1. I don't like your bluff here unless you've got a good read on this guy. I really need to know that someone can fold to a bet like that on the river, and in my experience, a lot of people cannot. You definitely repped your hand well here, looks like you're chasing all the way to the river, and that river bet is hard to call with a hand that was excited about the flop. I can see you folding out a worse two pair, I personally probably wouldn't fold a better hand to you here. If this guy is nitty though, that's a great spot to blow him off a low set.<BR/><BR/>2. You've gotta be pretty concerned about his cold call of your check raise on that ultra dry flop unless your image is pure maniac here. Even then, you can be pretty sure he's got at least a K, maybe even a flopped 6s full of Ks. I'd be ready to dump this on the turn because you only have 2-5 outs if he has a king and 5 if he's got 66. That said, I like your river bet because you'll get money from a lone K that he wouldn't bet himself, and he's gonna bet and you're gonna call anyway if you check.<BR/><BR/>3. Well played! If this guy isn't a total nit this is a prime spot to try reraising pre to widen your 3bet range and get him to fold a couple weaker big cards. Remember to put a note on this guy as being unable to fold an overpair on the flop, next time you flop a set against him it's gonna be an easy ride to value town.<BR/><BR/>4. Hahahah oh my god, you value bet J high in OMAHA and GOT CALLED. You're my hero.<BR/><BR/>5. Man that sucks. Without a read here, it's hard to call that river, and I can't make myself NOT value bet that river. Your little bet will induce a bluff from good players a lot of the time though, it's just impossible to peg anyone playing omaha on cake as a good player. <BR/><BR/>6. NH, sorry about the cooler :/<BR/><BR/>7. NH!<BR/><BR/>8. Great bet sizing on all streets. People play weird from the blinds, I know I tend to get overly aggressive, looks like this guy gets overly passive. He could have valued you on any street there and probably gotten a call.<BR/><BR/>9-12. Wow, these people are dumb<BR/><BR/>13. Hahah, love the chat:<BR/>kittykat: crazy action table<BR/><BR/><BR/>Excellent hands, Jason.jsolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11400143652119692926noreply@blogger.com
