However, on the turn, where I now STILL have the nuts, plus a flush draw AND a straight flush draw, AND there is NO low draw, AND I can only LOSE to the boat (10% chance) and at worst possibly tie if the river gives him a straight possibility (which at this point, although I don't know this for sure, he doesn't have), I'm betting and raising with both fists.<br /><br />Apparently only the good Dr., the lucky bastard, didn't realize how far behind he was by my obvious betting. I still love him, but his suck out factor is HUGE.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-23094016928772154802007-01-04T08:44:00.000-08:002007-01-04T08:44:00.000-08:00I've played a little Omaha in my spare time ;)

Odds of you winning on the turn (when I STILL had the nuts and the second nut flush draw AND the straight flush draw AND was betting and raising like the maniac I'm not?) - 10% . . . you didn't even have a straight draw or flush draw at that point. <br /><br />I guess the old axiom is true . . . even a blind squirrel (who can't calculate the odds of finding a nut in a country where nuts are nearly extinct) finds a nut every now and then.<br /><br />And you wonder where your bankroll went . . . :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-70052820769195084792007-01-03T12:56:00.000-08:002007-01-03T12:56:00.000-08:00I totally agree, and was really hoping that Drizz ...I totally agree, and was really hoping that Drizz would respond. I'm wasn't sure how cards below a 9 would affect the play, but I guess it opens up low possibilities.

The only semi-blank card here is a 9. <br /><br />Everything else can change the hand. And yes, I love Omaha questions :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069654181152145893noreply@blogger.com
