SB posts a blind of 5. Hero calls, MP calls, Button calls, SB (poster) completes, BB checks. Flop: 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font> SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP calls, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds. Turn: T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP calls, SB calls. River: K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks... What do you do here? I was playing at a table where people would play almost any hand, and and no one was hitting trips. |

Were you playing at a table where the laws of statistics do not apply? Your hand is garbage on the flop, b/c a low is already possible. Playing for half the pot with a very weak high is a bad idea. |

When I said "no one was hitting trips", I meant it figuratively. I had been playing for awhile and did not recall anyone who had hit trips. Call me stupid, I just play in an unorthodox way, and it works for me.

Re: NLO8/b Game, Bottom Trips
Short-handed, loose game. I play pocket pairs in Omaha like I do in hold'em - get in cheap and fold if you miss. Considering that most players in the game I was playing would play any four cards, they wouldn't have a good chance of holding a pocket pair.
Yeah, I'm stupid. Please flame me. |

Bottom set when a low is possible and you don't have a low and there are straight and flush draws on the board is a very weak hand. To answer your question, on the river I would check and call 1 bet. I would fold to a bet and raise. |

Indeed, I did. Great job. Your IQ has been boosted by one point.

Re: NLO8/b Game, Bottom Trips
When posting NL hands, it's a good idea to post bet sizes and stack sizes. It's hard to know what's going on without them.
I don't like your starting hand much. You flop a set, but low makes and there are two hearts. What's more, any A2xx's currently have nut low. I don't like little sets in NLO8 unless I have something else working. My question is: if you're going to play this hand, and then hit the flop with it, why not just shove your stack in on the flop? |

Re: NLO8/b Game, Bottom Trips
Okay, here we go...I call pre-flop, hoping that someone will raise so I can re-raise them in a show that I am strong.
Raise it to 150 on the flop, representing a strong flush draw or nut low, when in reality I had bottom trips and no low. Turn, I bet another 150. River, I moved in, hoping to bully these players out, seeing as they were just smooth-calling. Turns out that I had the winning high hand, and there was no low. |
