Here's the hand history and screenshot. What I'm wondering is should I have thrown it away preflop? *Pretty sure this qualifies as a "dangler", and my first problem was playing it in early position to begin with* Thrown it away on the flop? How could I throw it away on the turn? Dealer: Hand #151502076 Dealer: Wotan posts the small blind of $0.10 Dealer: bigd921 posts the big blind of $0.25 Dealer: You have been dealt [Jc Js 3c 4s] Dealer: dslifton folds Dealer: TestifyToLove calls $0.25 Dealer: trialdog folds Dealer: Cheddarbizkit calls $0.25 Dealer: Pokeratician folds Dealer: Wotan calls $0.15 Dealer: bigd921 checks Dealer: The flop is [Jd 9d 8d] Dealer: odaddy48 has returned Dealer: Wotan has 15 seconds left to act Dealer: Wotan bets $0.50 Dealer: bigd921 calls $0.50 Dealer: TestifyToLove calls $0.50 Dealer: Cheddarbizkit calls $0.50 Dealer: The turn is [Jh] Dealer: Wotan bets $1.50 Dealer: bigd921 calls $1.50 Dealer: TestifyToLove calls $1.50 Dealer: Cheddarbizkit folds Dealer: The river is [4c] Dealer: Wotan bets $3.75 Dealer: bigd921 raises to $4.15, and is all in Dealer: TestifyToLove raises to $9.05, and is all in Dealer: Wotan has 15 seconds left to act Dealer: Wotan folds Dealer: Uncalled bet of $4.90 returned to TestifyToLove TestifyToLove: why do I get the feeling I'll be beat by a straight flush lol Dealer: TestifyToLove shows four of a kind, Jacks Dealer: bigd921 shows a straight flush, Queen high Dealer: bigd921 wins the pot ($18.60) with a straight flush, Queen high Clearly after the raise by Big, I knew I was beat. I even said it. I just wanted to see it. However, with all the betting being done by Wotan before and big just calling, I thought maybe I was up against a flush or straight flush draws by both of them. Hadn't really been at the table long enough to know what was up entirely. My guess is that Wotan had the Ace high flush, and realized he was beat after my reraise and got outta the way. Smart boy. Any feedback would be great! Back to top Shamrocker High Card Joined: 12 Jul 2005 Posts: 1 Posted: Tue Jul 12, 2005 2:40 pm    Post subject: curses Tough break love. True, a fold on the flop wouldn't have hurt, however, I don't think anyone could have tossed that away on the turn. That's a painful one.

Limping with pairs in Omaha and trying to flop sets is a lot less valuable than in hold'em. You need nut hands in Omaha, and unless you make quads (and don't run into a straight flush), you can never make the nuts with pocket Jacks.

(at least it was only an 18 dollar pot and not a 180 dollar pot) Back to top JetsFan28 Royal Flush Joined: 19 Oct 2005 Posts: 799 Location: NY Posted: Sat Nov 19, 2005 4:02 pm    Post subject: that sux wow shake it off its part of the game Back to top DevilfishFan Royal Flush Joined: 09 Sep 2005 Posts: 906 Posted: Sun Nov 20, 2005 8:06 pm    Post subject: That hand is a piece of **** before the flop, and it's garbage on the flop with several players. It's real hard to get away from quads. Play only hands that coordinate with eachother (except from the blinds) and watch how fast your game improves.
