Default Number of hands played


I was playing an Omaha 8 S n G last night and ended up getting blinded out coming 6th /9. I only played a couple of hands, was I being too tight? How many of the below hands approx were playable, what %? I did't actually win a pot all tournament! I think it was just a bad run of cards and so am telling myself that I didn't really do anythig wrong here because since I've started playing O8 I've actually done quite well.

Kind of hard to determine why you got knocked out of a single table tourney just by looking at the cards you were dealt, since there are about 100 other factors. Seems to me that you got a decent amount of playable hands, especially considering that it was a tournament where you have to take a few extra chances (I don't know if you're aware of the differences between tourney strategy and cashgame strategy). If it was a problem connecting with the flop with the playable hands, then that's another story. Also, it really depends on how you were playing the hand preflop: reraising to isolate, raising to thin the field, limping in with mediocre hands when the odds warrant, etc.

It all depends when the hands occured. I play a sit and wait game basically until it gets to 5 handed.
These hands are VERY playable

OOOPS. That was a cut and past without the edits.

I think all of these are playable..the ones with the question marks might be folds depending on position or action in front.

I agree with the other comments as far as playability in general, though the requirements change a lot as the blinds go up. Big cards become more valuable (preferably with some low prospect), suited and A + 3 small cards becomes less valuable.
