Re: Results
On the second hand, I checked and my opponent checked behind. Hand history shows he had KK.
Yeah. Beetman touches upon a good point, one that I failed to note in my OP:
On the turn, you read...

Re: Omaha/8 - Am I Too Tight Pre-Flop
But I think you are calling too much in the small blind.
We can't draw this conclusion on numbers alone. In a low-limit O8 game where the pot is never raised preflop, 27% is much too tight. In a...

Re: One more hi low hand..
This is a pretty standard hand, and there's not much you could do differently. Raise that AK42ds from the SB or BB or wherever you are, it really doesn't matter.
Flop bet is good, with 2nd-nut...

Re: Second nuts for hi and lo in O8
I have no problem with the flop or turn play.
You didn't mention any player stereotypes, but headsup on the river I'd only bet here against a known fish -- the type who would draw to a straight...

Re: Stop n\' Go
Precisely. It's for this reason I usually reserve my stop-and-go maneuevers for situations like top-two against a single frisky opponent. Stop-and-go generally screams vulnerability.

Re: Raising Ax suited on the button
Playing LL. 3 limpers to you on the button, you hold Axs. The blinds are passive, you expect the SB to complete and the BB to check. How low would the x have to be to not raise?
Assuming the...

Re: Thoughts during a hand.
I'm a bit perturbed that no advocated a preflop raise from the post, especially in the cutoff, after two early-position posters checked their option.

Re: Do I reraise
Kojak beat me to the punch -- not pounding the turn is pretty bad. Your flop cold-call and turn raise should be setting off panic buttons, but apparently they're not. Punish 'em.
I would also...

O8: Flopped full
Typical $2-4 O8 game. Two not-very-good players limp in, SB completes, and you raise out of your BB with AKK2. Everyone just calls.
Flop is KQQ with a two flush -- you have the dry ace of this...

Re: funny hand
I once had open quad jacks and got called three times.
OK, I guess I should mention that it was a Stud/8 tournament, but still, it was a pretty funny sight.

I have also heard it is okay to see the flop cheaply with A3, but not 23. This confuses me. It would seem to me that if you will only be looking for the nuts, in both cases you would need a card for...

Re: basic omaha 8/b - raise or call
I think in a game like this, you're slightly more likely to get two cold-callers of a raise than four callers for a single bet, or one cold-caller instead of two single callers.
Also, as you...

Amp\'s contribution to the essay contest
After the turn we like 10 cards on the river. Kc, Th, Td, Tc, 7s, 7h, 7d, 6s, 6h, 6c. We don't like the rest, but to varying degrees. Anything that enables low cuts the pot in half for us.
