I’m afraid John was right, Drizz.<BR/><BR/>Here is the break down:<BR/>Option 1 - 1/8 <BR/>Option 2 - 1/6 <BR/>Option 3 - 1/4 <BR/>Option 4 - 7/12<BR/><BR/>Bet Call (32) 16, 21.3, 32, 74.7<BR/>Re-raise Cap (64)32, 42.7, 64, 149.3<BR/><BR/>Option 1 – What actually happened. All 4 had nut low and button had nut high.<BR/>Option 2 – One second nut low loses everything.<BR/>Option 3 – 2 lows and one high.<BR/>Option 4 – Dream world – ½ high and 1/3 low.<BR/><BR/>You see, it’s only in dream land where I make any money. Best case scenario is Option 3 and there I only break even.<BR/><BR/>Seems John knows what he’s talking about.DrChakohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408654385168201338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-83436828304278651172007-03-19T13:09:00.000-07:002007-03-19T13:09:00.000-07:00How about "Its a trick question because The Muck n...How about "Its a trick question because The Muck never ever ever EVER spreads Omaha"?<BR/><BR/>(Call, but know you're getting at LEAST 1/4'd)Kerri Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03968101772553673638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-5901145341724617832007-03-19T12:56:00.000-07:002007-03-19T12:56:00.000-07:00Drizz - that's why you are my Omaha man!

It was a pretty loose game and there was a chance that one of the other two had second nut low. <BR/><BR/>I re-raised, and the button capped the river. He had nut, nut and me and the other two all had nut low. That's right - all 4 had nut low!<BR/><BR/>I could run the numbers (math is hard), but I think I lose very little if any with a raise here, and potentially gain a little if even one of the stragglers has 2nd nut low.<BR/><BR/>John's comment was NEVER raise with nut low. He said it costs $2 for ever $1 I make. I don't think so. <BR/><BR/>Dammit, now I have to do math.DrChakohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408654385168201338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-10080259511707458482007-03-19T11:45:00.000-07:002007-03-19T11:45:00.000-07:00I doubt all four nut lows are out there (only seen...I doubt all four nut lows are out there (only seen it once in 200K hands) but with a raise on the river in a tight game you can be 100% sure that someone would raise the nut high straight.<BR/><BR/>My guess is you'll get 1/6th here by the raiser having a nut-nut hand and one of the callers have the nut low only. If you can get the two callers to call down all raises (not likely) you actually won't lose that much in the worst case sceniro that raise has nut-nut.<BR/><BR/>Call and take the showdown if its a tight game. <BR/><BR/>Raise it if its loose where people have been showing down second nut lows/second best straights or flushes or sets on non-pairing straight boards<BR/><BR/>If you folded, I'd ask how much you've been drinking.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18069654181152145893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15121395.post-25257195091531865542007-03-17T16:57:00.000-07:002007-03-17T16:57:00.000-07:00Call, to encourage others to call, building the po...Call, to encourage others to call, building the pot that is at least part yours. By raising, you likely force inferior hands out, and you open the possibility of a reraise by a hand that could quarter you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
