Re: New to Omaha

It was a live game at guy's house - and since I dunno a damn thing about this game, I asked twice to explain and was told "you'll get it after...

Re: 2/4 NL on party
Again from a limit point of view that's fine - worry about pot odds to catch. You're playing NLHE though, and NL is more about reading hands and putting pressure on players than it is knowing pot...

Re: Stars 5/10 NL - 48s, too agressive?

IMO if you're going to play NLHE at any level, you can't be a...

Re: Party 15, Weird TT multiway with fish
I would think about a CR on the turn. The CU called 3-bets preflop but then 3 bets a small coordinated board. Without knowing anthing about the player, I put him on JJ, 88 or perhaps a big flush draw...

Re: AKs on the button.
If you have a calling station and a guy already on tilt (or presumable), I bet this flop fully expecting a call from both at the very least, and quite possibly a raise from MP, where u can smooth...

Re: Howd I do?
Preflop was also capped so unless the button is a maniac, he doesn't have any piece of that board (save the slight possibilty of 99 or 88 in which case the poster is behind anyway). I'm not worried...

Re: Howd I do?
Two questions I'd like to know: Is the button player capable of making these same plays with 99 or 88? Is this a shorthanded game?

Re: Fire Away?
Did you reraise on top $250?? With his rereaise to $120 there's $380 in the pot, I like the $250 reraise wanting a call.
I'd fire all-in on the turn given the nature of the SB player. He's...
