O/8 Playing for High/Bet the flop?

[DougShrapnel]

High Hands with a 9 in em suck, well almost all hands with a 9 in em suck. Fold preflop. "Always" bet the flop with a high only hand, when only one or less low cards flops.

Is this a sarcastic comment?

Nope, SOP that should be adjusted for the table.

Good luck.

Ouch, I thought the part about the 9 was spot on. Some people play Omaha becuase they don't like the aggresiveness needed in holdem. Just think that if you are playing high only and the flop comes high only you should always try bet. If people always know what you have you aren't ever gonna win a tourney.

I would play a hand with a 9 in it from late position. For example, 9TJQ from the button, with many limpers.

However, I would not always bet a two-high, one-low flop. For example, if a KK2 flop checked to me with that hand, I would not bet.

[/ QUOTE ]Yeah I can tell that what I'm saying can be misgrasped. Clearly the hand is a fold on the flop. But if it was a legit high hand then my advice works fine as a SOP. I'll play QJT9ds, might even put in a raise with all those limpers. QJT9r is a muck. Not sure what I do with the other ones. Can you think of another 9 high hand that's not a muck? KK2 isn't really the kind of flop I'm talking about. The point is that 9 in a High only hand is an exception. Most of the 9 high hands aren't playable. As far as a pair plus low flop, I don't think you could be to wrong to bet it, provided sometimes you actually have the K.
