Overplayed top two pair?
This hand came up in our home game yesterday. I might have a slight tilting problem here due to a couple of bad beats and a new player who was making the game exceptionally slow. It's kinda...

Re: Is this a value bet?
I think you can reraise this hand PF. Button doesn't need much to raise here so you might actually be ahead with KQ.
This hand looks kinda standard to me and when it comes to river, I think you...

Re: 3 x cowboys, out of position, 400NL 6 max
#1: The only made hands I can put villain on are sets and maybe there's a slight possibility of QT. If he has two pair with this board, he's not playing very good poker preflop. His most likely...

Re: Putting it all-in with QQ unimproved??
That turn sure looks nasty, but I think it would be pretty weak to slow down with queens here. Like you said, it looks like a smaller PP something like JJ-77, with jacks and tens being much more...

Re: Micro Hi: 3-flush into 2pair
There's one thing I don't like about your raise on 6th and it's your position. It's a good plan to raise now to thin the field if you're going to SD anyway, but I don't see why seat 5 would check...

stud8 3rd street question
This hand came up in our home game last friday. It's probably basic stuff but since I'm new to stud8, I decided to post this. I think it looked something like this:

Re: What do you do on the river?
I bet this river every time. The board doesn't look nice but you're facing only one opponent and there are so many worse hands he would call with that you have to risk occassionally paying off two...

Re: Preflop situation against 2 maniacs
IMHO, yes you took it too far this time. I mean four players have folded and even though you're facing random hands this really isn't the ideal spot to play this hand. It's true that you're looking...

My opponent\'s bluffing frequency
I play in a 0.40/0.80€ home game (which is similar to 0.50/1 in U.S. dollars). Most of my opponents are typical low limit LPs but it seems that during the last few months some of them have improved...

Re: Did I lick my sack on this play?
I check-raise the flop and bet the turn. If he's still in I strongly consider folding the river if he bets. I also fold this preflop. The flush possibility is pretty useless against two opponents and...

Yeah it's true that straight draws are trouble hands in Omaha Hi. I definitely agree that a mere straight draw needs good odds to continue. I think your estimate of 7 to 1 is close but you don't...
