***PLO Cash Game Thread***

[S93]

I totally agree. Im totally playing like a limping fish at a low level to get a feel for the game. Im sure when I find my range, this one wont be a part of it.

Yeah I understand, I really have no idea what are playable hands in PLO but I figured that wasnt one of them so I thought I would post looking all knowledgable and stuff .

But yeah when u look at it that u really just have T7o,T7o,T3o,73s,73o,77 oposed to T773 it really becomes clear how much of a crap hand that is.
I mean at holdem where not gonna be playing T7 and T3 alot are we?

 

[CAMurray]

Its like when your 6 years old and Mom just gave you that 5 dollar allowance and your at the candy store. Your not really why you buy (play) all the crap you do, you just want to have fun.

Well that my excuse, and Im sticking with it.

Omaha 8 - Thoughts on hand selection in limit FR games?

I just play stuff, getting much looser when stealing, and raise to control the number of players in the pot, and occasionally for value. Still on the tight side, as nittness in this game is +++EV.

I play pretty much any A3XX.

Also, you might want to consider avoiding full ring LO8. There have been a bunch of threads on 2+2 about not being able to beat the rake above $0.50/$1 or $1/$2.

Also, make a new thread if you want to talk about LO8.

Standard? Or once this gets multiway should I fold? (probably being results oriented, but worth asking)

Lone As, low str8 possibility. I would have capped after UTG bet, folded at SB bet.

A steal is possible, given your read on the others, but could also go with Teddy KGB and say 'check it... down' and hope to catch yr belly buster str8. If you feel like stealing go ahead...

EDIT: WHOOPS just saw this is hi lo (dam should be another thread)... still worth a steal but anyone calling means you win half pot at best at showdown... worth a bet (1/2 pot tops) on the come hoping for the 3 to scoop or 8 for possible hi. Nasty hand...

 

[Makwa]

I like O8, personally perfectly happy to discuss it here...

Needs another thread... different games entirely.

cj, I frequently flat that hand after utg's open (I flat crappy KKxx and crappy QQxx there as well), without a suit I generally play that for set value or for the hidden straight, and i'd prefer to see the flop as cheaply as possible. As played, I think we need to get it in w that much dead money in the pot, though I'm not fistpumping by any means.

bbb, I'm very happy to bet 1/2 - 2/3 pot there as a steal.

 

[bubbasbestbabe]

2/3 took it down.

UTG actually flatted, but I understand what you mean, especially since I'm almost 200bb's deep.

10PLO is a goldmine. I'd be earning so much more if my winnings didn't get blown on limit O8.

Hero?

 

[S93]

Pot it*.

*I suck so you should probably do the oposite.

 

[cAPSLOCK]

POT! And after the flop pretend the hand just started and re evaluate.

 

[slycbnew]

premium, no brainer pot

 

[BenLZ]

I was in a tricky spot last night.

I was on the button with something like AJT6 with a suited ace, everyone limped, I limped, SB completes and the flop comes something like A J 4 rainbow. It checks to the CO who's a losing reg, around 52/26 with an AF of like 50 raises, I call, and SB calls. Turn is a blank, he pots it again.

Hero?

SB is like 60/7, but in the hand I folded, SB raised, and CO folded.

 

[BenLZ]

Okay, I thought I had the low on this hand but apparently my conception of it is wrong...

Board was 9s Qd 7d 8d As

He had Kd 3d Qc 5h and I had AT26. 26 doesn't create a better low than 35?

 

[cAPSLOCK]

8753A is better than
8762A

His 5 beats your 6. Sometimes these make more sense to read from the top down.

 

[cAPSLOCK]

26 doesn't create a better low than 35?

In other words you should type it this way:


62 doesn't create a better low than 53.

I actually disagree with this with this hand and position. It's a good drawing hand. I want a pot with some substance in it for the flop. But I don't want to chase my money ponies away. Also, if the flop misses I want to be able to get away from it with minimum damage.

Now what?

 

[cAPSLOCK]

(Still on preflop) Well IMHO the only other option is to call with the intent to pop it all the way against any raise. Your point that it is a drawing hand is very true, but that makes it sound like 89s in NLHE. But PLO is a drawing GAME by nature. I might be a fool, but I would rather have this hand against almost all AAxx, KKxx hands. Since we are UTG the reraise might have been the better option so you have a better shot post flop. Suited small ace rag hands might fold... and that iswho we are now worried about, but we have little information still. Just calling gets us where open raising did... in a pot with 3/4 of the deck in play.

On this flop I will check/call folding if it gets reraised in front of me most likely.

 

[slycbnew]

I think we had the pf discussion in an HA thread a while back? It's a premium drawing hand in a drawing game - there are just so many flops it's going to hit hard that we're going to be able to play even oop very easily.

I'd bet $0.18 on that flop, fold to a raise from CO or BB.

 

[BenLZ]

Oh. That makes a lot more sense.
