Been playing mostly O8 since I started back, just more interesting to me than HE...

I am interested in seeing what people think about my line here...

My initial thoughts are probably should not call from SB with this hand, results in situations like this.. no real reads as I am multi-tabling and its $25 PL O8 - anything can happen. What do you think the best move here is? Looking back, I think my move here was too risky and at this level, will not push out a lot of mediocre hands that are dangerous to me.

chenshack: raises $9.50 to $11.40

OMGFFSFP (oh my god, for fuck's sake fold preflop).

From this point, you have to avoid any low card and you can't be sure your full house OR flush draws are good. I'd fold.

EDIT: You're really not gonna like it when you get repopped by the A2 or A3 of hearts. Admittedly, you might take down the pot but I don't think you have very much equity at all if you get called.

I guess my first thought is fold pre-flop. That is not a good starting hand. I might complete from the SB if no raise, but I think it's best to let it go otherwise. I would also not be very enthused about the flop. Bottom two pair and third high flush draw and no low draw. I think I fold the flop as well. Just too many ways to get beat.

hiho

I'm just learning O8 but that should be an easy preflop fold. I might have even folded that in the SB without the raise. You're asking for trouble calling that flop with two under cards in there. If it were holdem then it would be a different story with two pair but O8 is a totally different game.

No raise I limp In..any raise I fold pre flop

As played I call the flop.... your only playing for half the pot..the high

Your drawing to 3rd high flush or 3rd high boat

Any A/2 will probably call...A/2 hearts will insta call...I just call and look for heart or boat on turn.

It looks like the flop bet was close to a pot bet too

I just want to say that you are all a bunch of little girls.

ZOMG he's flopped teh two purr!!!! And if he flush draw comez then hiz gonna be mad paid!! :laughing:

Seriously, I think it's been stated well enough to fold this on the flop, I don't know why it's easy to see from reading this thread, b/c in real life I'd peel one off. :oops:

Personally, I wouldn't have called the preflop raise. That being said, a peel isn't totaly unreasonable. You're closing the action and it's turned into a fairly large pot. You have a third heart, which is really cramping the A2s draw. It seems unlikely that the top set is in play. Plus, if everyone's going low you're in good shape to scoop. A minimum of ten babies are dead.

The only thing that's a big worry are danglers. If some retard's in there with K4 you're really asking for it. I'd want to be sure everyone else was smart enough to only play things like small straight draws on the flop. Basically, you want to be the only moron that'll play a shitty two pair.

hiho

Merv what would you do preflop?
