Help with Ace 4 hands in Limit O8
Ok...last night I got killed. Just killed. Everything went wrong all night.
I think I have started playing too many hands (I'll look at pokertracker tonight) in bad spots. In particular, I played a number of A 4 hands that got me in trouble. 1. Do you only play A 4 from late position? 2. Is A 4 with the ace suited enough to play from any position? Thanks, Dave |

Re: Help with Ace 4 hands in Limit O8
Funny, I just put up a post where I folded suited A-4-5-X to pre-flop action at PL, and would have turned the straight flush.
Anyways, in the hand histories, are you calling down with losing A 4 lows? I suck at 08, but that could be a leak. |

1. Do you only play A 4 from late position? [/ QUOTE ] Yes. But you want more to your hand than just a naked A4 low draw. The object of the game is to scoop the pot. [ QUOTE ] 2. Is A 4 with the ace suited enough to play from any position? [/ QUOTE ] No. You want to see a cheap flop and hope you hit your hand. If you are in early position you will not know whether players behind you are going to raise. Because your A4 low is marginal, the remainder of your hand should be very well coordinated. From late position I would play hands like A456s, A45Fs and A4FFs where F=face card. All of these hands have a suited Ace. I do not play A4 type hands without being suited. |

Re: Help with Ace 4 hands in Limit O8
I need at least 3 other things going for it to make A4 playable for me. Those can be
1. suited to ace 2. I can see flop for 1 bet 3. the other cards work well (i.e. coordinated or doublesuited like A4TJ, A457, A46Kds) 4. late position 5. a 5 in my hand 6. the table is passive 7. other players play badly postflop 8. I have a good chance to steal blinds with a raise Fwiw, the Hutchinson system treatment of A4 basically amounts to: Play A4 if with 2 of the following: suited A, 5, QQ/KK, KQ/QJ/QJ -g |

My interest is in becoming a better Omaha player and making more money. Even your advice is good advice, on occasion. But as Professor Buzz shows above, saying that the only good A-4 is A-4-3-2 is ridiculous. |
