Yeah... this is a fold preflop, isn't it? I thought it looked a bit cute being both suited, a pair and connected... and 98s is one of my favorite hands in Hold'em! I need to grow up, don't I?

Well, I'm not complaining... people seem to call flop bets with absolutely nothing (ie: backdoor low) and this is fixed limit so I aint slowplaying nothing!

Hero shows four of a kind, nines.
slimzoso doesn't show a full house, Sixes full of nines.
Hero wins $11 from the main pot with four of a kind, nines.
There was no qualifying low hand.

I guess he caught his low but hopefully I'll get an overcaller. I don't. But now I see this guy chased a non-nut flush on a paired board and bet the low full on the river, so he's going on my "muppet list".

I'm not sure if this is a limp or raise hand (I'm pretty sure I shouldn't fold it) but I don't like open-limping in MP, how weak is that? I want the blinds or the betting lead.

That deuce is looking nice. Not much of a high hand though.. the 2 outs for a boat and backdoor flushdraw... on a paired board. Still, the nut low draw is good enough to bet, especially since I raised preflop, right? Of course everyone calls.

Ok... I still have the nut low and I did pick up a flush draw but... the board has two-pair on it. I should assume my flush outs are severly limited, right? Still... I can't help but bet... right or wrong?

Hero wins $8.13 from the main pot with a flush, ace high.
Hero wins Lo ($4.06) from the main pot with 8,6,3,2,A.
slimzoso wins Lo ($4.06) from the main pot with 8,6,3,2,A.

Well... normally I would slow down here but this IS the muppet who called with a flush draw on a paired board and bet the low full so I have no respect for him. I know half the pot should be mine, can I assume that I'm quartering him here like I think I am? Only hand I am worried about from him is A388. Turns out he has no high and is re-raising the naked nut low. Without a read I need to slow down, correct?
