getting a 4 of a kind in a hole is about the worst hand u can get. only thing u can make is a pair or two pair at most cuz u cant flop a set. muck.

While 4 in the hole is a terrible hand to play, I will say 4 aces has some value. If you're playing competent players, you can potentially push someone off their hand by representing a nut flush. They have to at least consider the possibility, because they can't have the nuts when you've got all of the aces. Smile All depends on the player and your reads, though.

That seems to be a bold and interesting idea, to play the hand only with the intention of bluffing if any 3 suited cards hit an unpaired board. I would probably just fold preflop, but your idea is interesting though. Agree it would definitely depend on reads and position.

if you can for sure get heads up allin with aaaa preflop then you can play it. thats the ONLY time. i dont agree with the idea of playin pocket quads to bluff and show, to loosen your table image. to me i would read that was your idea and not change my image of you. also theres a million better ways to loosen your table image. and also a million different types of a loose table image. ie. station or loose cannon. on that note ive never gotten 2222, the worst hand in omaha. lol....maybe if i did i would be tempted to bluff just 'cause ive never gotten the chance, but i doubt it.

i think your correct i realy ment that to cover two flushes the hidden FACT or not so for regular players is that 90%of the time you dont chop the hi pot prolly 65%of the time theres a tie for low

so i was thinking ak suted a23 so you dont get counterfetied if a nut low shows up on the board

i want to thak you for your responce RC

I pretty much gotta agree with everyone else on this one, it's an insta muck and pretty funny screen shot to say, " Look at this BS!" Laughing

You know it's funny. If you were to make a new thread about something, somebody would get pissed because the topic had been covered before.

If you search for your topic and add to it someone gets pissed because you dug up an old thred.

It seems like you just enjoy being a dick to people.

i would never fold 4 of a kind (apparently david ulliot has done it in omaha when he was convinced his opponent had a straight flush), but yes if you have 4 of the same cards in your hand its an instant fold........
