Its how the
higher limit players make their money,
exploiting flukes like quads against overfulls.


[/ QUOTE ]

Am I the only one that finds the suggestion that people are making most of their money by explioting quads vs. overfull flukes hilarious? Show me a guy that can extract the maximum with quads and not payoff the maximum when he is holding the overfull, and I am sure I will show you a guy pissing away ten times the chips he saves by treading too carefully on the overfull when the opponent doesn't have quads. I know this is almost a direct quote from Steve Badger's site, so I am not sure how much personaly experience you have playing in the bigger games online, but I watch them quite a bit and the play is nothing like a bunch of folding until a big quads vs. FH hand happens.

How often do you make quads? I make them probably much less often than once a week (granted I don't play as much as some do). You are telling me that they are playing for an opportunity that may come up much, much less often than once a week (much much less because they have to make low quads and have a big full house possible). This idea seems totally preposterous to me.

Check-fold; you have to assume somebody has quads.

That's horrendous advice. I guess you should fold every time you get a full house. Don't listen to this, it's bad advice. Every <u>once</u> in a while, some one will have quads. So what? You're online, you have no tells and second nuts. Check-fold? What a joke.

Irony. (n). When the literal meaning of a communication is the exact opposite of its intended meaning. Should not be used with humorously impaired individuals

For starters, delete any thread where somebody is trying to figure out the winning low hand.

that's a start thanks. good idea.

Re: Slow Play? #1 (PLO8)
 

Not betting this turn is awful. Not necessarily because you are trying to thin the field (which would be nice) but because you'll get called by draws now that will not give you money on the river unless they hit.

Don't slowplay in O8.

Edit after reading: and bet the river.

Consider a "Play a Hand with the Masters" that the MTT forum is doing. It's gotten great reviews.

I second this, it is a very good idea. Who would be the masters though? There are plenty of good players here, but how many would bother to do something like this?
