is this hand good?


i played it strong to the river but i was totally sucked out by 2 pair!
WTF?

Ug, I was dealt quad Jacks once, I wanted so bad to show it, but wasn't going to call to the river on P* and blow the money just to show my bad luck.

Dude! You had quads! How did 2 pair win!!?!?! That site must be rigged!

One of the reasons Omaha is weird to me....you look down at your 4 hole cards and sometimes they look SO great through the No Limit Holdem eyes most of us have developed. I often forget I only play two of them as well, but usually after I lose a big pot due to this oversight it sticks with me the rest of that game.

LMFAO!!!

someone else must have that cheating software i'm hearing about. that's the only way 2 pair can beat quads

On P*, I have actually flopped a set while holding 3 of a kind in the hole multiple times. I'm pretty sure I did once on back-to-back hands. 333x in the hole, 3 5 9 rainbow flop.

Considering top pair wins in Omaha one out of every 20 hands, I'd fold without hesitation. No straight or flush possibilities. The only way you can win with quads in the hole, is if the board makes a set.

So if you hold QQQQ, and the board goes 3 3 3 J 5. Beware even then, you could lose to 4 of a kind, someone with a 3 in the hole.

Never play quads in omaha ever. If it's 2-handed, I'd fold 4 queens pre-flop. No straight, flush, no set, you're virtually dead unless your opponent miraceously doesn't make a pair.

edit*, I knew JoJo knew he didn't have quads, we played that the CT omaha side tourney together last night. my post is a joke, too. omaha's my favorite game behind hold'em.

dude, i don't think you get it. quads are very strong. they're only beaten by bigger quads (as if someone had KKKK or AAAA, please!), a straight flush, or a royal flush.

so i'm supposed to play quads carefully now? on what planet?

But you didn't have quads, you only had a pair of queens. One pair in omaha is not very strong.

ahem...

helloooooo?

I don't know man. I see quads. And since no one can have a straight flush yet, you've got the 3rd nut. You've got to put a massive re-raise in there to see where you stand. The chance is so small that someone else has KKKK or AAAA. I think folding was a weak play here jojo and I hope you continue that weak play tomorrow night!



Do I really need to put this in here? --->
