  1. PLEEEEEAAASSEEE can I have a cheap card? PLEEEAAASSEEE???

    What do y'all think?

    I've found this a VERY effective play to make in late position. Don't need cards to do it, just read well and be sure you've got someone on a draw. I happened to be on a draw...

    The competition is much worse in a card room, IMO. Most of the time the folks playing live are there to gamble it up, play way too loose, and end up donating to those of us who have a clue. I don't...

    Let me echo the sentiment to fold this hand preflop. I'm not a huge fan of KJo, and most definitely not in first position. You only set yourself up to play a weak hand out of position and lose lots...

    Only flaw I can see is perhaps raising pf on the button with ATs.

    I'm more of an O8 player.

    Don't like the call preflop UTG with that weak of a hand. You do have good relative position throughout the hand, though, but you had no way to know that PF.

    Don't...

    Looks like you got trapped in the hand just a bit. I agree that calling down was the best. Don't aggressively play an underfull in Omaha because you'll only get action from hands that beat you.

    Re: Crossroads, 3rd week at Pokerstars

    Welcome to the forums.



    What I haven't seen you mention here is one of the most important aspects of hold'em: position. Do you play these cards in any position? If so you're giving away a lot...

    Sounds quite typical, actually

    Some suggestions:

    Loosen up a bit, for one thing. Play connecting cards (suited or not) from middle position back. Even raise pf with suited connectors; if you're...

    Re: Multi-way pot 2 flush on board vs. TPTK

    Here are my thoughts:



    I'd underbet the pot by about 1/2 if you think the player will chase you for his whole stack. Basically you don't want to get all-in and lose to a suck-out if the flush...

    How would you play it?

    You're in late position (vital here) with

    I agree with this for the most part, but what about if you're up against a hyper-aggressive player heads-up? If I'm dealt 22 or 66 I will push. Chances are he can't...

    Not a stupid question. Omaha is a game of the nuts (at the river). It's not like hold'em where you can flop a boat and have it hold up. So many more cards are out on every deal that it's quite likely...

    One simple rule

    I agree it was a fundamentally sound play there. Assuming the other player was holding only 1 8 and no other spades, 9's or 7's, that meant you had 2 chances to hit 3 8's, 8 spades (including the 8),...
