Finally figure out that it's not Hold 'Em, even after playing a whole level.

Call. If the T/images/graemlins/club.gif was something more helpful to your hand and the ace was suited a raise would be in order.

If you're not stanzee, you're just as annoying.

why hasn't this thread been locked yet? We play texas holdem not dumb games like omaha. Even the wsop has taken out omaha and stud games for more holdem games.

a) my friend was using the computer, so I apologise if you're upset about his lack of a topic.

b) o8 is a good game.

This is a call and it's not even close.

If the flop doesn't present 2 low cards more than 2 but not a 5, check/fold.

Raise a flop of TT3, fold a flop with any other pair (except of course AAT).

If the board is coordinated or all of one suit, you still have the low if other than A5 and <8 hits twice on the flop. You are now playing for 1/2 the pot and can expect that one or more callers also have A2o.

You are playing for low (unless you get a flop that fills your boat in which case you scoop). If you play for the low and feel that the other limper also has A2, best not to raise if you think that he will call as you both lose money on a chop of 1/2 the low (Big hand wins 1/2, leaving 1/4 of the pot for each of you. Obviously more than you have bet)

Um.... Just call and play accordingly.

PS. Far as I know, Single Table Tournament play questions of any variety are welcome and invited in this forum.

Just call here and see what the flop brings.

You get a good price to play any A2. Problem is that your hand is so poorly coordinated that even if you hit your low you might be playing for 1/4 of the pot.

But Omaha is a postflop game and you have position.
