Re: Running it Twice.....what are the dis/advantages???

I thought my explanation made sense to people who don't try to quantify the concept of utility.

Let's say Wintermute would rather gamble, on the margins, than not, all else being equal. We could...

Re: My first PL O8 hand post

Yeah, but typing in a number is so arduous. I'd prefer just slide the lever all the way to the right.

Re: Running it Twice.....what are the dis/advantages???

Obviously you are not somebody who put in 5 years studying economics like I did.

This doesn't make your approach wrong, just different.

What I was trying to say is I get more utility (an...

Re: Running it Twice.....what are the dis/advantages???

I've only seen the burn and dealt cards thrown in the muck. I suppose it would make a difference (I have to think about that one), but I've never seen reshuffling.

Re: Running it Twice.....what are the dis/advantages???

You can only tell the advantages/disadvantage by running the numbers.

If it gets run once, his expectation is E=.35*$100=$35, which assumes a $100 pot. The real expectation would be E=.35p, where...

Re: Lots of action, nut low only

[ QUOTE ]
I find the replies here more hilarious then the poster. Why do people feel the need to help out fish who obviously know nothing about the game and are unwilling to be helped?

Re: General PL08 tourny question....

I know I'll get a lot of heat, but almost any hand is good enough to call a min-raise HU, especially if your opponent raises nearly every hand. You don't want to be calling with 5559, but almost...

Re: Seperate PLO8 and Limit O/8 Forums?

Re: Three Card Wheel Theory

There are three wheel card hands that simply must be played, even if you have to call capped bets cold before the flop. Such a hand would be A23x, A24x, or A25x. The value of x doesn’t really matter....

Re: PLO8 Bet the river to fold out a low?

You didn't say it, but your opponent is very, very bad, which I base on a previous hand you submitted.

Against such people there is only one way: bet, except when you are weak and possibly even in...

Re: Should I Be Betting Nut Low Draws For Value???

You are always right to bet if you get more callers than the number of callers you would need to make the bet break-even for your draw. It's like free money when you get more callers than you need.

How do you play big pairs?

I can play aces okay. My problem is the other big pairs: KK, QQ, and JJ. I have no clue how to play them, unless they are part of a broadway or suited.

I ran a summary of my last session in PTO...

Re: Found A Point System For Omaha Hi/Lo

This is off-topic, but you or somebody else might help. I don't play the Party skins because DLHelper gets installed. Briefly, DLHelper is spyware, but theoretically the good kind.

Re: Pure Theory Question

If you look down at KK, there is really only one hand you don't want to see, and you will crack it anyway about 17% of the time. So, you would be willing to pay (6/1326)*.83*$1000=$3.76 to see his...

Re: Very Loose No-Limit Hi-Lo Home Game

In addition to what Buzz said, I would want to know how often you raise on a draw. If you're passive, I assume never. This is wrong.

In a loose O/8 game, you will pick up lots of hangers-on until...

Re: Party Poker on Autopilot

I am very leery of DLHelper.exe, which is the spyware PP installs.

I applaud PP's efforts, but just see a buggy app that can cost me money -- as it apparently did for you -- or an exploitable app...

Re: A little help please

Let's take an example from the HoH book that would directly effect the hand you played. You flop top pair in an unraised pot. If you read the HoH book, you would know that an automatic raising hand...
