Party 25PLO hand from last night

Postby Eman » Fri Dec 10, 2004 9:51 am

I think i was in one of the blinds and i had a hand something like 3567 single suited spades. I remember it was a low three card wrap, with a low side gap.
There were several limpers and a player from late position, possibly the button raised the pot. Im fairly new to PLO and I have been playing tight while learning the game. When I first started out I would fold this hand. But I have been seeing a lot more flops lately, even raised pots. I had a starting stack of around $27 ish...the preflop raiser has me covered.
Anyway, back to the hand. The raise was to $2.25 so I paid the additional $2 looking for a specific flop against a most likely AAxx type hand. I think there were two other callers.
The flop came almost perfect for me.
249 with two of my suit. The pot was around $8. I checked, the other two players checked to the preflop raiser and he bet the pot of $8. My flush draw stinks but headsup it may be good if i hit. I have a huge wrap straight draw and a favorite to an AAxx hand that didnt have the flush draw. I really did not want the other two callers in this hand, just incase they hold something like the Jack high flush. I check raised the Pot basically putting me allin and the preflop raiser was the only caller.
He had the AAxx, but didnt have the flush draw. I hit my flush and won.

How risky is this type of play at the $25 level. You see alot of playes calling with just a J or Q high flush draw.
Briacheck was at my table when this happened and the AA guy started to berate. Thanks for coming to my defense Bria. It was pretty comical, he didnt realize I was the favorite to win the hand.

With what little bit I know about Omaha, he must be drawing close to dead. You already have a straight with a flush draw that he doesnt have.

Nice read and smart push. What more can you ask for? played it perfect. you can only wish you had a bigger stack... so you could have got all the suckers chips. 50x bb buy-in really sucks.

I checked the hand history and you have it slightly wrong. You had [6h] [8s][5s] [4s] and the flop was [3s] [9s] [4d]. Also, the guy only raised it up .50 preflop so you called .75 from the sb.

So you had a pair of 4's, and an open ended straight draw and a baby flush draw. He had [2h] [As] [7d] [Ad]. Therefore, you have TONS of outs. If you hit a 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 or a spade, you win and he had a 9, 3 or A for outs (all the spades of those are used already). the turn was a [Ts] and the river was an ace to give him trips against eman's flush.

So Eman check raised all in on the flop and it got heads up. If you put him on naked aces (which is a little harder since the guy didn't raise big) you still had plenty of outs to the nuts in case the flush draw wasn't good. If he had raised max preflop, i would put him on aces but since he didn't, i think this was a semi risky play. It all depended on if he had a flush draw or not, but you knew you were not drawing dead and had plenty of outs on the flop regardless for your straight. Your check raise did a good job pushing out any other draws but with people on Party, you are more likely to get another player with a better flush willing to gamble. I think this was a pretty good play but continue to do that with the low flush draw, be ready to get drawn out a little more than you probably expect.

I think the other guy overplayed his aces and proceeded to berate eman for him play. He did this with everyone. Anytime he bet, he said we should always assume he had the nuts which he often didn't. I couldn't hold back anymore and chimed in and proceeded to try and piss this guy off a little. If this was the only hand I saw him whine about (cursing and such) I would have let this guy go. But this guy was obviously a loud mouth, arrogant, know-it-all, table captain.

Eman, I dont know if you saw all the stuff I typed to him since you sat out near the end and the table broke but I kept at him for about the next 10 hands. I was ready to leave for the night so this helped me leave with a smile. :P

BTW, you all can call me Brian, not Bria. :)
