outs, outs, outs

game last night was good, lots of action. 5-5-10 blinds, pot limit, half omaha, half hold-em


during the round of omaha there was both a raise and a reraise before the flop..3 players. flop produced a large straight draw, and the one who had been doing most of the betting lead out with a 400 bet which was called by one player


turn was a small card, but now there is also a flush draw on the board. lead man bet remainder of his stack, about 600, and was again called by the other player. that other player showed down his hand to see if lead man wanted to deal twice....he had total wrap straight draw and big card flush draw!!


don't know why he even showed it, but the lead man did turn up his cards also....bluffing all the way...all he had was pocket 5s


somebody starting counting all the outs, but bluffer said "crap! thats too many outs, just deal"...you are right, he won!!!

The draw has a whole bunch of outs. He has I assume four overcards assuming they don't make his opponent two pair, his

flush draw and his wrap which are probably another 20 to 25

outs. So he probably has anywhere from 30- 40 outs with one

card to come making him a fairly big favorite. When I am the

favorite in this type of situation to avoid flucations I will

deal them out three times rather than two times and hopefully

I'll I either sweep or win two out of three times. I don't like

to deal them out twice because it's too easy to wind up with

a chop.
