Oh, and yeah... I posted this knowing fully that some of you soulless poker guardians will not be able to stop yourselves from tearing it up... fold pre blah blah freaking blah... so have fun.
I just want to know what you accomplish by making that raise preflop.
[X] You do not. You just want to point out my bad play raising that garbage OOP. That's fine. [X] :rofl: It's the one game people like here more than poker.
:hahaha: This time I accomplish an extra 8 cents in the pot I get to win.
Most times I accomplish an extra 4 cents I get to lose.
[X] I had just accomplished several hours of holdem play and was having a little fun at 2 cent plo.
[X] I won't tell you what you have just accomplished.
I don't know. Is it? I figure any hand posted anywhere is fair game. Seems to be an unwritten rule.
Oh man, so far from what I've read, this thread is gonna be interesting.
How many threads on CC can you find all this different info on non-NLHE games and C9 being his typical self? Not many! Well, except for C9 being his typical self.
But, thankfully, C9 knows what he's talking about. And I'd love to jump in some of the Omaha/8 discussions, Razz, and maybe even some of the stud games. Unfortunately, due to having to reformat my computer due to a nasty virus that I'm almost positive NevadaNick gave me, I've lost all my non-NLHE HH's.
I will jump in here a little later with some questions and hopefully even some answers.
Nope ... if I gave it to 'ya, the non-nlhe hh's would all be there and your nlhe hh's would be shipped ... through a black hole ... :rofl:
/can't we all just get along post
I am the problem. Sorry.
I will stop being the problem.
I know the basic, good starting hands in Omaha/08. But what are the good calling hands for a raise from a player that you see as a pretty good player?
I know that may sound like a vague question, but I'm dipping my toes before I jump in here. It's actually been a while since I have played O/08.
Bonus points: which seat is the fish?
I'll try to come back later for a little more 'in depth', but 8 is spewing (imo) and is also the huge fish. Seems to be trying to use his stack to bluff bet in the wrong game with the wrong cards showing. Has a classic look of him not at all understanding stud8.

Even if this were stud hi, does his play make sense? Given the up cards he's playing against? For stud8, he's playing hands that can't scoop, I get that, but I'm asking sincerely (I'm not a stud player), does it make sense for him to be raising 6th in either hand?
I think it's a little/lot too vague. Would really need some stakes info, 6 or 9 seat v. mtt, position, etc ... the usual you need for nlhe discussions.
What are you thinking about here ... pf ? post flop? turn/river? Then there's also the hi/lo (O8) factor to consider based on your hand. Are you asking only about hands that might develop into a scoop?
I think you're looking for a general answer, but the parameters are way too undefined to even make a guess. Maybe throw out some specifics... ??
