And neither of them could believe it when Max folded top 2 - Aces and 8s on an A87 board, with 2 clubs I believe. He had 2 pair and no redraw. Its an easy fold, and those guys were amazed.

Please explain this to me. Are you worried about trips or the flush draw? If I remember correctly he folded the 2 pair in an unraised pot. I did not understand the fold. Btw, I have never played Omaha.

It was not a raised pot, but there was a bet ahead of him on the flop and another player still to act.

At this point, at most he is slightly ahead, at worst, he is way behind.

If he is slightly ahead in the hand, alsmost any card other than an 8 or an Ace will be a scare card to him on the flop.

Any clubs- the flush.

Any 4,5,6,9,T,J - the straight.

Any Q,K - either a better 2 pair, or a set.

Any 7 - trips or the boat.
The remaining 2s and 3s that aren't clubs are the only true blanks in the deck here.


he hasn't invested too much into this pot yet, so there is no reason to try and go broke with 2 pair in a 3-way unraised pot.

FWIW - Josh played that hand pretty good. Straight wrap and flush draw
