* Get a big starting hand like AAxx, pot it or re-pot it whenever possible pre-flop to commit yourself, shove the rest in on the flop and fade whatever draws someone else may be on.
* Raise it up, flop top set and get a lower set to pay you off. Not much work on this one.
* Flop top pair and the nut flush draw and get there.
* Get your money in bad but suck out. Not recommended. Well, the sucking out part is recommended if you get the money in bad but try not to follow step one too much.
I had a bit of a hiccup today when I tried to get a little fancy. I flopped kings full of nines, the nuts, in a limped pot and just flat call a min bet in front of me hoping to get someone with a king to raise. No luck. Turn is an eight, harmless. Same min bet in front of me and I make it .10, a call, then a fold from the min-bettor. River is an ace, the absolute last card I wanted to see. I'm OOP and, in a desperate attempt to get as much money in after the river as I should have put in before I pot it in a classic "the only hand that can call me has me beat" bet. Not only that but I am raised and make the crying call for my last .11 before seeing a guy with AA23ss who limped in pre-flop catch a two outer to take a chunk out of my roll.
No matter, I quickly make it up after my miscue. I'm already up over $5 and thus 5% after a weekend plus rakeback. Looking forward to taking down some prop bets.
Things are looking up, up, up.

I am assuming these hands are PLO hands and not PLO8 hands. Anyway you can post the hands like you can on Cake withe the actual hands suits, pot and stack sizes. Just easier to follow.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on chipping up through the microstakes.

Sorry bad grammar. Can you post the hands is what I meant to say.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a good solution to post hands. Unfortunately FTP doesn't have the same web mechanism as Cake. There are hand converters out there for publishing hands graphically for forums or whatever but they seem to choking on Omaha hands even though they say they support them. I will get a solution in place somehow though because I agree it is much easier to follow that way.
