Umm WTF?

Was playing on UB tonight in omaha and I was dealt three eights and a 7, with a 2 on the side. Flop hits 3h,jh,7d, I go all in and the other player beat me with a 9high flush when i had a Full house 8's full of sevens?

is there something I'm issing here? Last i checked Full Houses beat flush's?!?!?!?!

In Omaha you can only use TWO of your hole cards, and three of the community cards to make your 5-card hand.

I used to jump the gun as well and forget that I can only use two of the four when I first started playing Omaha.

You didn't have a full house. In Omaha, you must play exactly two of your hole cards and three of the board cards. What were the turn and river cards? Post that and we can confirm exactly what your final hand actually was.


~edit: eh, posted same time.

in Omaha you HAVE to use exactly 2 cards from your hand and 3 cards from the board... Although im not quite sure how u had 3 eights a 7 and a 2 meaning you had 5 cards... but with the flop you showed, you had a pair of 8s

hope that makes sense

yeah, we all posted that at the same time

Well that was an expensive lesson.


Aside from that I'm done with UB anyway. Having a really bad streak where in NL holdem people are beating me with the same hand but with a slightly higher kicker, for instance

I have: 8,10
Opponent has: 8,J

Flop/turn/river: 8h,2s,3c,Ad,7d


What makes it weird is it happend 3 or 4 times in a row with the SAME player. And it's happend with multiple people, i dunno maybe its some glitch or just really bad luck, but it's just not been my day at all.

why are you playing 8 10?

LOL... this is why it is best to play new games with play money initially.

yeah they should come up with some software for their sites where it eliminates the two cards you can't use after the flop, turn, river... like highlight the two that you use, that would be a nice feature so you never mess up.

lololol is this a joke?

Sorry if my post wasn't clear last night, I was very tired and more then a little frustrated. I do feel like an idiot not knowing that you can only use 2 of your 4 hole cards. And as far as playing a hand like that, well the other players were playing pretty crappy hands and I was pretty tired so my judgement was probably impaired some.

Part of my reasoning for not using UB any more is quite a few people have brought up the accuracy and randomness of the software they use to shuffle and deal cards. I'm no expert but I've been in situations where I've been dealt the same exact hand, two or three times in a row, and it happens pretty frequently. I'm not very familiar with the software that is used in the online poker industry but it makes me more then a little paranoid when I get into multiple bad beats like that with the same player consecutively.

Again I'm not up to date on what the average rake percent in micro limits is but I've been hearing alot of people saying that it's quite large compared to other companies that allow US players. So all in all I'm feeling pretty distrustful of UB right now.

Ultimate Bet is a friggin joke in my eyes too.

Ok ill do it b4 anyone else
