The Trials and Tribulations of O8B

Casino Backlink MF9EPGXYU49A The Trials and Tribulations of O8B
2 O8B table tournament, with a rebuy or add-in after level 2. 10k in chips, add-on is also 10k. I play a simple double-suited hand Earlier, before everyone remembers Hands That big win in Omaha. Sure enough, my 9s2sxx in the BB hits a flush on the turn and the two pair chases it down. The low and I split a pot That was bigger than it Should have been.

On the next hand, I hit a K high flush on the flop and the low has not gotten there yet. I start to be Cautious of the Ace, but the others just Pls call, I figure the King is good. This may have been a mistake, Because it assumes the others That Knew That in O8B you would always bet the made flush with three players in the pot. The low but did not get there and I scooped a pot while a player broke forcing him to re-buy.

I make-a disciplined fold with two suited JTT8 Because of a raise from the button and i had no Ace. O8B, be Weary of not having an Ace in your hand.

I play a nut low draw on the flop, but the turn bet is too big and I am not going to chase. Fold.

Someone comes in late, sits down and his set on the flop makes a boat on the turn. He triples up my chip lead and never returns. BUT, more on this later.

It is at this point That I assessed my situation. There are already two players knocked out (and it's a rebuy tournament!) The add-on is 10k and I already have over 20k. I Decide to slow down and only play the top ten hands. I also Make a note That this table is ESPECIALLY susceptible to the check-raise, as the last to act ALWAYS fires at the pot. I hope to get a chance to use this.

I get into a discussion with the player on my left about O8B draws. He pushes in what I Consider Marginal Situations and he claims he is a favorite. For example QJ83 and 2 vs. hearts. a board with two diamonds with QT23. He has two pair and can not make-low. How can you possible think you're a favorite here? There is no straight or flush made yet, but even if They Do not get there, you can not take the low. So you are betting to drive out THREE draws. Seems like you are giving away money here. Yet in the other hands We discuss, he is the one pushing with the draw. And again claims to be the favorite. I enjoy the debate, but it seems a to upset him so I drop it.

I fold A25T with three hearts to a pre-flop raise 3xBB Because it seems a scoop Unlikely That I can with this hand. The flop was Q85 all clubs and I would have lost to the guy Both WHO makes a wheel on the River.

I take the add-ins. I have $ 35k and the avg is $ 20k

I lost $ 5k pushing AA with a low draw. The low does not get there and Neither does my flush. I lose to a straight (no low).

Called $ wk with a low draw. Check-called the flop. Debated raising, but wanted my hand to get there first. The turn makes my nut low and then I start betting. Three players saw the river card, and then I split with the high hand.

Worse miss of the night: I fold A57J with the suited Ace. I fold for no reason in LP Because of the lack of coordinated hand. I have about a 6% chance of being Able to play this post-flop. So I fold it. The spring board a 7 farm and I would have made quads with no low hand to split with. Oh well. I COULD have limped in LP with That hand, but the man That would be sloppy play.

We are playing 7 handed and I have $ 28k vs. avg of $ 21k

I get AAK2 with two hearts. I raise 3xBB and get two callers. The flop is K92 rainbow and I figure the AA may hold up! When They Both check, the I Decide to bet the pot and take it now. They Both fold.

My A235 A238 Pls loses to no one hit the board at all and there was no low. That's right, in Omaha I lost to an Ace high.

We are now 6 handed and playing tight has bled me down to avg.

I fold 336J in BB to a raise.
