Re: Preflop raising stats for limit O8
wrong wrong wrong.
you need to raise preflop in omaha 8 to maximize your wins, especially loose Omaha 8 where people won't fold A278 or A39Q to raises.
you need to eliminate players with true...

Re: texaswalker on ub... o8
You can play much more liberally when heads uo or shorthanded since most omaha hands run pretty cloose in value. that said you still want to avoid A68Q type hands, but hands like 3346 or 2458 are...

Re: Reasonable win rate at $3-6??
Rake is an important aspect when choosing a game, an increase of $1 could easily turn a winner into a loser.
I hear about places with $5-7 rakes on 2/4-10/20 tables and i cringe.

Re: Reasonable win rate at $3-6??
you would have to be a lot better than a GOOD player to beat a 3/6 game with a $5 rake for 2 bb/hour.

Re: Reasonable win rate at $3-6??
As far as where the rake becomes less damaging.
I'll be fair and say your max rake in this game is $5.
so X 25 raked hands an hour the rake is $125/10 players $12.50 an hour. you'll need to...

Re: .50/1 O8 on party
It's not so much the limit you want to look at but the # of people seeing the flop.
if its 4 or less avoid the game
if its 5-6 this is a decent game and you can do pretty well in
if more...

Re: Comments please O8b hand
And actually if you give 1 of the players an A3 you go down to around 20% for a non quartered low, and it's down to 9% for a non quartered low if someone has A2.

Re: Snowing out of position
If I'm going to do this I would check, hoping to check raise then stand pat or check and if he checks behind just stand pat and bet out.

Re: Comments please O8b hand
your math is a little off, there are 21 ways to make his hand on the river not 24. 3 Aces, 3 twos, 3 threes, 4 fours, 4 fives, 4 sevens. assuming the turn is an 8 but it doesn't matter. the overall...

Re: Too fancy? (O8)
Instead of raising you should fold on the flop.
In order to make your straight it has to make a low possible, you have a terrible low and are at best winning 1/2 the pot. Raising is the worst...

Re: Comments please O8b hand
you'll get there 26% of the times so we need at least 3 to 1 on our money (i would want a little more to call here though), not counting quartered possibilities. i would say i want at least 15 SB's...

Re: O8 Flopped Set, Correct Fold on Turn?
I would typically fold on the flop here, you have no low (nothing worth playing anyway), middle set, and the board has 2 to a suit.
At best your playing for 1/2 the pot. and there are too many...

Re: 08 Raising to Isolate... good or bad idea here
in typical O8 games YOU DON'T PLAY A5s hands. AQ56 is not highly coordinated, the only thing good about this hand is the single nut flush draw. I was a little harsh in my first post, so I will leave...

Re: 08 Raising to Isolate... good or bad idea here
