What about this one?

Postby stickdude » Tue Jan 16, 2007 12:05 am

I'm running a little bit better today. :) But, I'm still going to post lots of hands where I'm not sure what to do.

Poker Stars
Pot Limit Omaha Ring game
Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
8 players


Stack sizes:
UTG: $20.40
UTG+1: $41.90
MP1: $14.25
MP2: $11.20
CO: $10.30
Hero: $35.85
SB: $11.05
BB: $16.05

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is Button with [2c] [Ah] [Jh] [Kh]
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 raises to $1.1, MP2 calls, CO folds, Hero calls, 3 folds.

Is this hand good enough to reraise with since I have position, or is a smooth call better?

Flop: [7d] [4d] [Ts] ($3.9, 3 players)
MP1 bets $3.75, MP2 folds, Hero calls.

Nut low draw, not much for high. Worth a call or not? If I raise, villian is pretty much all-in.

Turn: [Kd] ($11.4, 2 players)
MP1 is all-in $9.4, Hero ????

Now I've got TPTK on a flush board but still now low...

i think it really depends on your read of villain. this smells a bit like AAxx or A2xx suited to diamonds.

preflop - i don't reraise this, but i very rarely reraise since i think i have a MUCH bigger edge on the flop.

flop - floating is fine if you think you can make villain fold on the turn (e.g., if a low str8 card or a low diamond comes). the problem here is that you very well may be going to quartersville with this hand. i prefer to have a pair or an 8-out draw (str8, fl, etc.) to go with my low before i jam... and i still get quartered A LOT.

turn - again, reads are important. unless villain is a overly aggressive with thin holdings, you're usually in bad shape here, drawing to half at best, often drawing to 1/4.
