Omaha Terminology - Wraps
I was asked by a friend to explain the term wrap. Here is my attempt. People who play No Limit Hold 'Em will be familiar with the terms "open ended straight draw" and "gut-shot straight draw". Here are some examples: An open-ended straight draw would be T9xx on a flop of K87, i.e. any J or 6 will make our straight (8…

The Differing Dynamics: Live Game vs. Online Poker
I was reading an interesting thread here earlier on about how various players would play AKs vs an all-in preflop shove against a player who is seemingly tilted and 'in the dark' (i.e., not having looked a their cards). It lead to some players saying 'snap call' and others believing it to be a snap fold. It raised an…

A while ago on that freechips1 thread, I remember someone posting (think it was beaneh) that they should raise their flopped quads. What are ppls thoughts on this hand.

Tikay - LMAO
Was watching skypoker other day, and in the space of 10 mins tikay had me in stitches. he was analysing a bounty hunter i think and on 2 occasions each player went all in, 1 with pkt QQ other AA. he hit his Q on the river and tikay, threw his arms up in the air, turned to his left and started to run on the spot screaming…

Omaha Make Your Play
Good Evening Ladies & Gents Thought I'd throw this hand out there for you. I'll post the later streets tomorrow or the weekend but for now, let's go to the flop. (this is an actual hand that I played but one that IMO could have played out in many different ways). The set up: It's your first hand in a 25p/50p PLO six handed…

Omaha: What Would You Do?
i don't post much, but i love playing Omaha so ill put my opinion across. i like the pre flop play, i like to keep the pot small(ish) pre flop. he might of re-popped you if you had re-raised pre flop, because he has played the hand strong. personally i wouldn't of bet into him, probably would of checked and called the…

Extensions.
I was asked by a friend what the term "extensions" meant in Omaha. I know that it is a term that Tikay loves to use. I would consider "extensions" to be any hole cards that give us a good "back-up" draw when we already have a strong (or even nut) hand. Here is a hand from a 10PLO table about an hour ago that illustrates…

When should the Digger stop digging?
Here's the scene; last night's Primo, about 150 still in, I'm sitting comfortably in the top 20 steadily building my stack when this hand comes along..... The button and BB were short stacked so I knew i was only effectively playing the SB who hadn't long joined the table. Button and BB fold but SB calls and when the flop…

thoughtson post flop play
Really it boils down to this, once I've been reraised post flop, should I have folded? It was either a set or over pair but his reraise and all-in amount was so small I put him all in. Is using his stack size as a factor to set him all-in a good one? I know against a larger stack I might have folded especially as the…
