NLO8 pushing hands
I played in a NL Omaha8 $50 buy-in game the other day where it became readily apparent that one of the players (Mr. Loose) would call ANY raise preflop. This got me thinking about what is the minimum hand I would push with preflop, knowing I was going to get called. Any thoughts?
For the record I was 1 for 2 against Mr. Loose, once I figured out his M.O. First I pushed with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] against his 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and lost to a heart flush with no low. I then pushed again later with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and won both hi and low with a spade flush. He had called with similar garbage (though he did have an ace at least, something like A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]).
Edit: Ironically when I run these hands through 2dimes I am a bit less than a 6:4 favorite in the first hand and a slightly LESS THAN coin flip DOG in the second. Oh my.
