Slow Play? #1 (PLO8)

[ QUOTE ]
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.

Anyways, this is a ridiculously easy fold preflop. 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.

I easily fold this preflop.

I tend to agree with Burdzthewurd. I would not play this hand. Your playing for basically half the pot with this hand unless you hit a miricle flop.

This should be an easy fold pre-flop. You are playing for half the pot with this hand, and it's unlikely that you will hit 1 of 2 cards you want to see on the high end. You aren't going to like your set much if the flop comes completely high.

You have to bet this turn. You have the best hand right here, but as has been pointed out there aren't many cards you really want to see on the river. You can't leave the pot sitting out there for someone to take away from you. Because of the draws, I would probalby go with a pot sized bet here.

I sound like a donk, but the probabilities are
higher than one might think. Its how the
higher limit players make their money,
exploiting flukes like quads against overfulls.

Not that I would check of course, I would
pot it, but if you want to look
at my HHs for the last few days, you could see
that variance is certainly a long term phenomenon.

Don’t drag me into this strange thread. I almost never worry about quads, particularly in LO8.

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

Jesus, this forum has gone to sh!t since Wintermute, RawBabies and company were chased off.

People telling you to fold this to a minraise are suggesting some really weak-tight play. QQxx, KKxx are hands that virtually play themselves (except when you fail to bet when you hit your set.) PT tells me they are very profitable hands for me.

I (WM) am reincarnated, temporarily at least, to make the occasional necessary post. But yeah, this forum is starting to suck hard. RawBabies never did any harm; bring him back!
