Seat 8
Seat 9 Very Loose Player...Running hot lately 700 Euro


I enjoy this game in the Jackpot and play it regularly..i have had a few good nights leading up to Sunday ( Friday +1200 Saturday +900 ) Anyway i bought in for 100 and have picked up a few pots and have a good table image, not that it matters much in this case.

I get 8h 9d Jh Qd in the big blind
The actions goes raise to 3, reraise to 15 and raise to 45 with both myself and SB calling. Should i have repotted it? The table seesm to be calling everything preflop.

Anyway 5 players call preflop so the pot is 225 Euro

Flop: 6d 7s 8c
Checked all the way round!! Damn..i should have bet

Turn: 5s

SB bets 200
Folded all the way round...hard to believe...there is normally so much gambool at this table

Ok so i folded a the second nuts and villian showed 4 9 J K..i cant remember the suits..she didnt even have a hand

Ok so my questions:

How badly did i play preflop. Should i have repotted it, considering the table seems to call everything?

How badly did i play on the flop. Should i have led the betting to see where i was or would i still be in the dark if my bet was called all the way round?

How bad was my fold on the turn. Should i shove with the straight and the wrap ( calling is not an option considering my position and stack size).

How does my hand stand up against the nut straight with one card to come?

Is the format of this post okay???

Preflop is standard. Repotting it there would be pretty bad. I would have called the turn for sure, then decided what to do depending on the action after me and the river.

I would always repop that hand preflop and I'd definitely call the turn. You still have 300+ behind on the turn so I disagree that calling is not an option. I think it's the best one.

I think call > fold > shove

Ian, look at the preflop action, why would you 4-bet here with this hand OOP? Thats madness.

Indubitably. I thought he made it 45 after someone had made it 15.

The biggest mistake seems to be you sitting at this table.

From your description of each of the players it sounds to me like you think you're the worst player at the table.

Who is sitting in Seat 2?

Its a pity you werent there..at least then there would be one player worse than me

There are at least 3 players worse than me...most players tend to stay far too long and get worse as the night goes along

I dunno, villain, loosey goosey and 2 unamed seats seem like possible value.

Preflop is fine I think, def check flop. It is nearly a super flop for you, but it isn't really. Turn, you should have called I think to see a river which you check unless it is a T that isn't Ts, and call unless it pairs the board, is a 9 or else a spade, but even then if you are against an idiot you might want to call on some of these too sometimes.

Just a quick note. Usually there is some value in the Jackpot Omaha game but it's definitely one of the better standard games in Dublin. There's an English guy with kind of browny/blonde hair who plays the Fitz Omaha game as well who is very good, Chinese Ken, Noelly, some guy with a cap, think he's Irish always appears for the bigger Omaha games at the side events of the EPT etc, Conor Doyle and a few other good players.

Sounds like Snowy who used to work in the Fitz to me. He is a very good Omaha player.

Even now i am saying to myself that i need to grow a set of balls. What was i expecting..the only better flop for me would have been the absolute nutleys.

During the Omaha rounds this wouldn't be far from the truth.

You have one pair and an open ender, only one end of which will give you the nuts on the turn. It isn't a great flop, and would be a mistake to bet from the BB I think, but considering the lack of flop action, the turn card is a great one for you, and probably only the flush draw here slows me down, but I still call it.

Killme00

Ok i definitely should have at least called. Is there any merit to a reraise here..am i only getting called by a better hand?

cardshark202

I would lead a blank river too.

5starpool

It depends on the level of caution, but unless the river is a scare card it is highly likely that you have the best hand and will put your last 300 into the by now pot of 625, which won't get called by anything less than a set, and even a set shouldn't call.

Meh, mostly I would just call the turn. I can't decide whether it'd be better to get it in here and likely get called (but you prob wouldn't by that hand they showed as it turned out) or else play it cautious.

Aggression and spots like this is something I have to work on in my Omaha game too.

Ok guys, thanks for the comments, i will more than likely seek out a cash game this evening with renewed vigour and reinforced testicular fortitude
