newbie's first omaha/8 session - comments wanted

[gergery]

Overall, looks very good. There were not too many close call type hands tho as mostly you got crap cards.

My thoughts attached. If you look at individual hands, all of the ones I comment on are marginal, on-the-edge-type hands. Folding them is fine. But playing them is probably roughly EV neutral for those hands, and I prefer to play them because 1) its more fun, 2) i get more experience and improve more when playing, and probably most importantly, 3) my good A2 type hands should earn me more money as my opponents have harder time putting me on hands, or go on tilt when i hit with these hands.

[ Kc Ad Kh 9c ] call. Marginal, but i usually call, depends on table.
[ Ts Kc 5s Ks ] (SB) I'd complete. I like KKxx ss, ds hands even with crap other cards when i have position or getting in cheap.

[ 2s 9h 4h 3d ] I'd tend to play this depending on table conditions.
[ Ad 4h Jd Ts ] (BB) I'd play this
[ 2c 4c 6d 8d ] I'd consider playing this depending on table conditions.

Id say this hand looks good [Jd Qs Ah Th], not sure why that other guy wouldnt play it

Yes originally I thought that was a list of hands you played. At first glance I didn't notice the "call" next to some hands. Sorry for any confusion.

it looks as though you are calling from the SB a little too often and playing high only hands a little too often. just stick to the basic starting hands for beginners on O8 and you will get a better feel for it after you get out of a hold'em state of mind.
