 |
|
| this was in a HORSE tourney, not the mbj, but it was a $5 tourney. i don't know what the competition is supposed to be like. seemed pretty mixed. But last time I checked you can muck a pair for a three bet preflop...or am I crazy? it was 882K rainbow. I had Kd Kh Qh Jd. I raise, there's another raise and the button calls cold with the 882K.. flop comes out 8,T,x w/ 2 hearts. So I'm staying in. turn is a Jc. so I have every draw in the book available and miss, we both checked the river. I was pumping the pot the whole way and the 88 was just calling along. Did I misplay this? Or was I just unlucky. |

| You didn't say how the betting went on the flop or turn. More info is needed. Just post the HH. |

I did say I was pumping the pot. On the flop I bet other player called, button called. Turn I bet because my draw increased, other player folded, button called. My question was also wondering if you think 882K rainbow is worth calling a three-bet preflop cold. That would take a monster for me to call, but maybe I just play too tight because it's not my primary game. Would you have played the hand differently?
I can't find the HH sorry. |

In Omaha, you should rarely be chasing straight and flush draws after the board has paired. It is pretty likely that, if multiple players are sticking around, somebody already has three of a kind, or better yet a full house. Also, overpairs are pretty much meaningless, and unless you have draws protecting them, you're ok. However, as I said earlier, draws may as well become meaningless if you see the board pair. |

| Totally agree with you, but the board didn't pair. I may have mistyped the OP as I was Barely coherent for much of yesterday. The flop was 8,T,x with 2 hearts. Turn was Jc. Giving me an open ended str8 draw, Flush draw, and I still have the pocket K. So a K is one of my outs as well. |

Hmmm, well then, in this situation, I think playing this hand strong is ok. You are drawing to some strong hands, and since there is no possible low hand yet (unless the x on the flop represents a card lower than an 8), I would've played this hand strongly as well. |
