(STILL) seeking friends to discuss HU LO8

[9999999]

I sure have a heck of a lot of knowledge to share and exchange reguarding

HULO8 --the future of poker--- (not really but maybe)

ANYWAYS if you are an avid HU LO8 player

then FFS lets get in touch!!!

also can someone explain to me why stars doesn't offer any HU lo8 tables at any stakes (besides SNGS ofc)???? its ridiculous! proposterous !!! down right blasphemous!!!

hul08- lets talk ppl.

[bigspenda73]

I'm listening

[9999999]

well there is no text on HU Lo8, so maybe we could hop on a vent
or go on AIM or something.... share ideas.. how much to raise PF in position? how to gauge opponents, etc. ....

If i may say one other thing, i think the following could be considered a rule:

in poker, there is money to be made of understanding concepts that your opponents do not seem to grasp

hence, i wanna learn and master this esoteric game.

PS bigspenda you're not setevesbets are you? lol. if not, then stupid question. XD

[bigspenda73]

yes I'm stevesbets and I will play anyone HU NL for any amount of money EVAR!

jk I r not a big degen, just a medium-sized one.

heads up omaha 8's or better/low?

[bigspenda73]

I can only give advice on FLO8 as I was a limit donkey back in the day and the only PLO8 I play is in HUsngs.

[9999999]

for the following hands, assume you've got the button, its HU FL08

1)

raise or complete your button?
--------------------------------

2)

raise complete or fold your button? ( i currently would fold every time )
--------------------------------

3)

raise complete or fold your button? i would fold this every time imo
--------------------------------

4)

raise complete or fold your button? i would raise/ fold this
--------------------------------

5)

[mrhappy333]

[drmcboy]

for the following hands, assume you've got the button, its HU FL08

[9999999]

there made it a little bit bigger font and added a hand

also lemme add that this isn't me posting some quiz because i know the right answers and want to see if you also know the right answers. i don't have a clue.

[9999999]

someone give advice on these hands, sad face

[bigspenda73]

You want people to give advice on HU poker w/o giving any description of your opponent, the flow of the match, or his postflop tendencies.

In a vacuum I raise 1 and 5 and fold the other 3, maybe limping 3 or 4 but I'm not sure.

[9999999]

ya, i guess im trying to find a guideline but it really depends on the opponent

[bigspenda73]

i think the 6779 hand is just the type of hand that when it makes a winning high our opponent will always have a low and when it makes a low we're usually getting scooped.

i think the 6779 hand is just the type of hand that when it makes a winning high our opponent will always have a low and when it makes a low we're usually getting scooped.

Exercise for the readers at home:
How frequently does the standard opponent make a low on any board giving us a straight in a raised pot? Not nearly as often as you'd think.

My unresearched speculation would be that most heads up LO8 pots are scooped.

I don't mind playing hands like this because if we make a hand at any point it's drastically unlikely that we'll get scooped, and there's a decent chance that we can scoop if they can't make a low.

Just a few thoughts.
