Re: New to O/8 first hand post
Help us with your what you are thinking here. I am by now means an advanced player but a number of streets look strange to me:
Preflop: Unlike HO, in 08 preflop raising is not particularly...

Question on difficulty by limits
I am a relatively new O8 player and have been playing the Party .5-1 limit tables. In a very limited number of hands I have been killing the game and the play is very fishy at times.
How much...

Re: PLO/8 Too aggressive?
Why did you reraise on the flop? I agree that you had a nice hand to lead out but it is a drawing hand. Did you think that your reraise was going to drive SB out? What range of hands do you put SB...

Re: Where was my error in this hand?
The only interesting street here is the turn. You haven't really made anything but you have outs everywhere. You could check behind and see what happens on the river. But my sense is that you have...

Re: Omaha H/L PL -- Final table hand
I don't know about in O8, but in NLHE anytime you have less than 10x the BB you are in push or fold preflop mode. My guess is that it would work the same here although since you can only bet the pot...

Re: PP 1000PL - AA3K Flops the Nut Set Heads Up
I am a relatively new player and I play limit but I wanted to take a shot at this. The way I read the hand is that you have the second nuts both high and low. If the villain has 3-4 then you are...

Re: QQ with a lot of limpers
The 3 + 1 time for every limper is a good rule of thumb. In the first level though sometimes you need to make it a little bit more given the low levels of the blinds. I would make it 150, but 100...

Re: First hand for review
I am not quite sure why having the flop checked through is such a bad thing.
If a club hits then you have made your flush and the only thing to be worried about is a higher flush draw. Not...

Re: First hand for review
This is an interesting hand.
First off, the check-raise is clearly the right line out of position with a middle pair and a drawing hand. There is little danger of giving a free card because a...

Hand #1 - easy fold
Hand #2:
You must raise this hand. Either you win it right there or you get more money into the pot with a hand that is almost certainly the best. If a lag pushes on you...

Re: Hand review - first Real Money SNG
Why bet only 200 on the flop? I would have either bet the pot or gone for a check/push. Given the flush draw I would probably just go ahead and bet the pot despite two players to act behind me.

Re: Bubble Play
This is a classic case of a player making life too difficult. You don't want to be playing a big pot against the chip leader here. On the bubble, smooth calls particularly in an unraised pot are an...

Re: My first 100 S&Gs
My sense is that your results suggest that from a skill level you are ready to move up. The bankroll question is one you will have to answer for yourself.

Re: Routine-seeming chip loser
A couple of thoughts:
I don't like the limp here. You have a very good starting hand that can be very vulnerable on the flop. If you limp, you are toast if an overcard hits and even when you...

Re: One mistake can really cost you
I would have raised preflop to 60, but that is a nit.
You flopped a full house for christ sake. While slow-playing can get you in trouble, it there was ever a time for it, this is it. You are...

Re: AQ on the bubble
A reraise on the flop is definitely in order. You would like to win it right there and if you get a caller you know you are up against something real. Just calling tells you nothing and lets a...

Re: Flopped Set - Big action
This is a no brainer in my mind.
What is UTG+1 doing? He could have a great hand and is inviting callers. But that is pretty silly with a flush draw out there. More likely he is trying to...

Re: First Hand Flush
I think that the problem is that you underbet the pot. It looks a little weak and he may have been coming over the top of you sensing weakness. This hand has a lot more definition if you bet 150...

Re: Did I overplay AA?
I would probably stick with the 3x BB preflop raise becuase I don't mind the callers. You want a little action with this hand.
What I don't understand is why you under bet the pot on the flop. ...
