Another PLO hand--take a look



Posted Wed Oct 12, 2005 4:34 pm GMT by zinn0
I played this hand a few minutes ago. One guy was uber-pissed, and the other guy was on my side, (I think)...anyway, I flopped the nut straight draw, and nut flush draw, then on 4th I picked up yet another flush draw, even though it was only 9 high...I had lots of outs...

Well, you were getting almost 4-to-1 on your bet on the flop, which isn't that bad for your hand, but I definitely figure that one or both of them has made a straight already. Frankly, neither of them protected their hands very well... I think you almost had to call there on the turn, because you did have a lot of outs; true, only 2 of your draws were to the nuts, but a double flush draw is nothing to sneeze at. With all that money in there, I can't blame you for calling.

I wouldn't regularly play that starting hand, though. You can see the danger of getting sucked in with non-nut draws, because what if one of them had a better club draw?

First of all, that guy had no business playing those rags in the first place. Second, having that much faith with the ass end of the straigh in Omaha will lose you money more times than not.

Wow, I just reread the hand history and not only did he play a horrible starting hand, but he limped with it in 1st position? Real good skills there :D

Granted yours isn't the best either but I'd play it from the SB as well. Nice win.

not only is he whining about flopping the WORST possible straight, he slow played it ... he only min raised with it on the flop

and you had 18 outs for two different flushes

i agree with diamond though ... AQ27 is pretty junky to play preflop ... even from the SB ... change the 2 or the 7 to something more useful like 1 jack, 10, 9 and you've got a decent hand
