Slow Play? #1 (PLO8)
The game is 200 PLO8 at party. My stack is 200 the same as everyone else in the hand.
I have Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the small blind. 2 callers from middle position, cut-off min raises, I call, BB calls, the 2 original callers call his min raise, 5 see the flop. Flop: J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img](19 in the middle) I am first to act and check, everyone checks right behind me. Turn: Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img](19 in the middle) Hero ? Ill post results later, just want some opinions before I post them. |

Re: Slow Play? #1 (PLO8)
I easily fold this preflop. You have no real low draw and QQ qith no suits, being OOP to a raise. Yes, it's a minraise, but your hand still sucks. And if someone behind you raises, you cannot continue in the hand regardless. So I think that's a somewhat medium mistake calling this pf.
You hit your money card on the turn, but you can't really like any card except a J-7-5-Q on the river. Only a deuce does not enable a straight on the river. Someting like A46x or A368 is very possible. KTxx is less likely unless they have two paints to go with it or A2/A3/A4s. You're a coinflip with a lot of hands with a flush draw/OESD, 3-1 favorite over nut flush w/ non-straight low draws. You can pot this, but be ready to fold this on a bad river if there are multiple calls to your turn bet. |

Well it got checked through once again. River 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Hero ? |

Check-fold; you have to assume somebody has quads.

As stupid as that sounds,
I agree. Quads have killed me over the last few days as per my other post, and 3 other times in the past two days, out of like 500 hands where overfulls loses to quads. Gregery or buzz discussed it with me awhile back, more common than I thought it would be. |

This is also probobly the worst spot ever to check the turn. I really cant think of a worse spot to check in O/8. A flush card could beat you, a low card could take 1/2 the pot away from you, theres like 1,000,000 other cards that could make a straight. I think you have to atleast pot it here and hope to take out some players. Edit: I dont like the river check unless your certain someone will take a stab at it. (or have a good enough hand to make a bet) Make a 3/4 bet here. |

And "slowplaying" is a term used to describe when you have a monster hand. That is not the case here. |

Every <u>once</u> in a while, some one will have quads. So what? You're online, you have no tells and second nuts. Check-fold? What a joke. |
