Hi all,
It's been a while since I've sought advice back on "Other Poker" (good to see an O8 forum!) but I'd appreciate comments on the following hand. The UTG+1 player made a point to tell me, "your [sic] a moron" after this hand. Although I don't value his opinion at all, I do value this forum's.
$0.25/$0.50 Omaha H/L 8/b - Pacific
(Forgive the manual hand history)
8 players
Hero is cutoff
Hero is dealt Ah 2d 3c Qd
UTG + 1 calls, Hero raises, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls, all call
(5 in pot - $2.35, 10 sb)
Rationale: I raised to buy the button or to drive out Ax or Kx d. But knowing that might well fail in this loose game, I was also happy to get more money in with a good hand. FWIW I try to mix up the occasional raise with A2, A3, A2+, or a high hand -- even though few opponents at this level are going to put me on a specific hand.
Flop: Qc 2h 6d
All check to Hero, Hero bets, all except UTG+1 call.
(4 players - $3.30, 6.5 bb)
Rationale: I have the nut low draw and top-and-bottom pair. I want to chase out all the better high draws and the busted A2s
Turn: 3s
SB bets, all call.
(4 players - $5.20, 10.5 bb)
Rationale: Although my low busted, I have a decent draw with 6 outs to a full house. Also, if SB was betting an A4 made low, I might still have the best high.
River: Ad
SB bets, 2 call, Button folds
(3 players - $6.70, 13.5 bb)
Rationale: Call one bet on the river to see if I've won half the pot. I only need for my top two to win one time in 7 (6:1 odds)
