Here's another hand. I'm never quite sure when I can push draws, but I tend to push big wraps and/or combo draws (i.e. set + flush; set + straight and the like).
PokerStars Pot-Limit Omaha High, $0.50 BB (7 handed)
UTG ($45.50)
MP1 ($8.50)
Hero ($48)
CO ($124.70)
Button ($72.70)
SB ($11.50)
BB ($11.75)
Preflop: Hero is MP2 with , , , .
UTG calls $0.50, 1 fold, Hero raises to $2.25, CO calls $2.25, 2 folds, BB calls $1.75, UTG folds.
Flop: ($7.50) , , (3 players)
BB bets $7.15, Hero raises to $28.6, CO raises to $50.05, BB calls $2.35 (All-In), Hero calls $17.15 (All-In).
Turn: ($112.80) (3 players, 2 all-in)
River: ($112.80) (3 players, 2 all-in)
Final Pot: $112.80
Results in white below:
BB doesn't show.
Outcome: CO wins $112.80.
Rainbow flop and I have an overpair, decent wrap, and a backdoor flush. If there were a flush draw available (that I wasn't drawing to), I would have been more inclined to play more passively. Obviously, I'm not happy when I get re-raised on the flop, but given the pot odds, I don't see how I can fold. Admittedly, this hand was a few days ago and math is not my strongsuit (something I'm working on).
I'll just go with these two, and toss up a couple more in a day or so. I don't want to flood the board with such horrific play.
Thanks,
Steve
