If so, then I have $570 in my account after a $200 deposit.
Now, can I cash this out today, or should I wait a day or two to attempt to avoid being...

Low-limit Omaha Hi references and resources?
I'm trying to get into Omaha Hi, and so far I really enjoy it, but I'm certain my playing could use a lot of refinement.
What reading material do you recommend? Books, articles, etc.

I think Ax suited is questionable as well - as your math shows. But the others are right. You make that up, not only by hitting other kinds of hands, but by successfully bluffing from...

Re: [Limit hold-em] Are flush draws worth it?
Okay, taking my earlier (probably oversimplistic) equation:
(.01 * 20) + (.0333 * 20) + (.0666 * -4) + (.89 * -1) = -.2904
and replacing x for the assumed pot size of 20, and setting it equal...

[Limit hold-em] Are flush draws worth it?
As an amateur hold-em player, I like flush draws. They're easy enough to play: you see the flop if it's cheap or if there are a lot of poeple in, and if you see two cards of the same suit, then you...

Re: Am Improved Multiple Draw (Replace) Problem

Same for if player 1 always draws, in fact. Either way...
