I would suggest playing a bit lower.
I am not opposed to using stop limits if it makes you comfortable, but I think 20 big bets is awfully low--you could easily lose that if I played in 4 pots to the river and didn't win anything, plus...

Re: Opening in LP vs. Playing Short Handed
My experience and simulations agree with your findings that clumping is not terribly significant. Another factor is that even mediocre Hold'em players often fold crappy offsuit aces. In early...

Re: Limit Hi-lo Pineapple discards.
My experience is on par with yours, but I think this decision is very clear-cut. When one is only dealt 3 cards as opposed to 4 like in Omaha, having the nut low as opposed to a 2nd or 3rd nut low...

Re: One more point
I am kind of confused as to what the postflop action was in this hand, but it sounds like the hero semi-bluffed the turn in a heads up pot with a flush draw and an inside straight draw, so we'll...

Re: How did i play this hand?
I don't have a lot of experience with limit Omaha hi, but in the experience I do have, QQxx is not a very good hand. You generally want your hand to be coordinated so that you'll have redraws. QQ...

River value bet?
50-100 limit level of a single table limit Paradise tourney. A late player limps, someone raises, fish in the small blind calls cold, and hero re-raises, all call. Flop is K73 rainbow, fish checks,...

What I did/results
Hand 1: I elected to 3-bet. I figured there was a pretty good chance the clueless player would cap with his crap, and I didn't want to give up a chance at 2 small bets. Plus my high is pretty...

0/8: 2 strong draws on the flop: raise or call?
Here are 2 recent hands where I held a strong draw and was unclear whether my best play would be a raise or a call.
Hand 1: A poor/clueless player limps (plays lots of "Hold'em hands"/will...

I don\'t think we disagree.
I think we both disagree with the assumption in the first post about the number of callers. While there are games where people routinely call 1 bet but not 2, it seems quite out of the ordinary if...

Klez operates by forging identities
The identity forging thing is part of the virus, so it's not like someone specifically targeted you to forge. Some of those Klez e-mails have been forged in my e-mail address as well, so I assume...

I agree
I would also raise the flop. In my experience, the people who will chase poor draws like weak flush draws tend to do it for one bet or two, so they will probably call anyway. I think raising the...

Re: Omaha 8 Situation
I am inclined to reraise. If you run a quick sim and give the UTG raiser a typical "good" hand like an A2xx hand or a AAxx hand, it seems like you will be a pretty significant favorite heads...

Re: Another O8 Hand
I think you misread my post--I said he should have re-raised the flop, not that he should have raised preflop. The scenario I couldn't envision is how he could be behind on the flop of Kc9x4c...

Re: Another O8 Hand
First, why in the world didn't you re-raise the flop? I am having trouble envisioning a scenario where you're not ahead on the flop. Second, whether or not they are making "a mistake" by calling on...

Sounds fine to me.
Although I'd probably suggest "Omaha and Other Poker" rather than "et al," because new users mightn't realize there's also an "other gambling" forum for non-poker gambling like blackjack, sports...

Not me.
I think this board has way too many individual groups as it is. I count 20, which is way too many for me to keep up with, especially since some of them aren't that heavily trafficked. I guess I can...

Re: Nut straight on turn, board pairs on river
On the river, if you take your foot off the gas in a multiway pot, you can be pushed off the best hand by facing two cold on the river. One way to prevent this potentially disasterous situation is...

Re: Shorthanded O8 good cards, bad players...
You probably have the best low draw and have a reasonable shot at high. Your high hand is vulnerable so it needs protection. I see two options:
1) Raise the flop. I would expect the calling...
