I'll say, look at that donk playing A883 in early position

Welcome to $5 limit OL8. With 6 people seeing a flop, chances are a couple of people limped in with worse than that. Not to mention that 2 other players got to showdown and couldn't beat 5s over with 2 Ks on the flop.

Yeah. really bad play to come into a pot in O8 limit poker for one bet with noone raising preflop with the 2nd best low hand, a suited ace and a pair. Thx for the lesson.

so you are comparing a hand that plays both ways, containing low draws, wheel draws, nut club draws and set flopping potential to 5556. Again, thx for the lesson.

there was some awful play in that tourny craig.imo omaha is the crack/cocaine of poker.the same monkey that busted you with rags ended up busting me 5 before the money when he rivered a 2 outer with a hand that should be folded preflop.

Boy you got some nerve HU-first you say this:

"I'll say, look at that donk playing A883 in early position"

Then you say this:

"I don't have a lot of O8 experience"

If you don't have a lot of experience in O8, and limit at that, don't call others donk.

You say I have 3 things, a low draw, a high draw and a pair. Well damn, seems I got just about everything covered. I get to see a flop for one bet with the second best low hand in the game. The ace happens to be suited too which is a bonus.

I'm aware I hold one of my clubs in the hand, unfortunately I can't always have a perfect hand.

I'm smart enough to not get married to a set of 8s based upon the action, and also smart enough to avoid going broke with A3 on a low board that doesn't contain a 2.

For waldo to say that my hand and Mr. 5556's hand are similar since we have low draws, suited cards and a pair is just plain silly. I trust you see the difference.

Well, unlike HuJwang, i DO have O8 experience and I wasn't being sarcastic. You played a donkey hand like a donkey and then have the nerve to point a finger declaring donk. You should have pointed in a mirror.

You have a 13 point starting hand for a high game. That is not even half way to a reasonable starting hand for Omaha Hi.

You think A3 compensates for that? Well that just demonstrates you own lack of experience and lack of understanding of the game. You have an INCREDIBLY HIGH chance of someone playing an A2 in a multiway limped pot so your A3 is basically useless unless you happen to FLOP ONE OF ONLY FOUR DEUCES in the deck AND at least one other low card just to make a draw so you can possibly split HALF the pot.

Sorry dude, chasing after a fragile low hand is a great way to play Omaha like a donkey.

You suck and you play like crap. Learn what you are doing yourself before you try to point fingers. The other guy might not understand the value of starting hands but quite frankly neither do you.
