O8 hand, what does MP3 have?

[brettbrettr]

Party Poker 0.5/1 Omaha/8 (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 2d, 2c, 6s, Ad. MP3 posts a blind of $0.5.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 (poster) checks, CO folds, Hero raises, SB calls, BB calls, MP1 calls, MP3 3-bets, Hero caps, SB calls, BB calls, MP1 folds, MP3 calls.

Easy raise, nice hand with some, albeit limited, counterfeit protection, button etc. Gotta love holding a second 2 here, as it decreases the chance of another A2 out there....


Flop: (18 SB) 5d, 6d, Tc (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP3 bets, Hero raises, SB calls, BB calls, MP3 3-bets, Hero caps, SB calls, BB calls, MP3 calls.
Scoop potential, raise.


Turn: (17 BB) 7d (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP3 bets, Hero raises, SB calls, BB folds, MP3 3-bets, Hero caps, SB calls, MP3 calls.

Scoopity if we don't see a 2! (or the str8 flush of course...)
River: (29 BB) 6h (3 players)
SB checks, MP3 bets, Hero raises, SB folds, MP3 calls $1 (All-In).

Yuck, the board paired. Raise here?

Final Pot: 33 BB

No one can possibly put him on a hand from reading that.

If I had to guess I'd say AAK2 or AAK3 with Kx suited in diamonds.

[brettbrettr]

Fair enough....your river play?

[Yads]

I like calling on the river and hopefully getting SB to put in an extra bet. You might skoop, or 3/4 MP3, but unless SB calls your raise you're getting the exact same value and you're saving on rake if MP3 happened to fill up.

I have no idea what MP3 had, any reads on the guy? If it were me maybe AAK2, but that would be a freak. I don't know 89KK [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]?

[Beavis68]

On party he could have any AA or any KK, but I think I would just call on the river. Maybe even QQ or KK, 8899.

[BradleyT]

If I have some type of read and think he may only have nut low I might raise him up, but the pot is already pretty damn big.

[jaeon]

my guess would be A34x.

[Hashiell_Dammett]

My rule of thumb:

At LL HE tables, assume that all new and unknown players are typical until proven otherwise.

At LL O8 tables, assume that all new and unknown players are morons until proven otherwise.

MP3 posted a late position blind and you did not include any read of him in your post. So I am guessing that he is a new and unknown player and therefore I have to assume that he is a moron.

Assuming that MP3 is a moron, my guess is that he has some ridiculous one-way holding like JJTT or A2xx.

And on the river, I think calling is a better play but I guess it depends on what you think SB might have.

A256, just a guess
