In Omaha HiLo, you will unhappily sometimes
be in a spot where all you have is a low draw, with no chances for high
whatsoever. Because you are only playing for half the pot, you will find that
the pot needs to be fairly large to justify a call. In this article, we will
determine the minimum pot-size that justifies a call on the Turn, depending on
the quality of your low draw.
In all cases, the pot contains X big-bets on
the Turn. In Case 1 and Case 2, we assume that you have the nut-low draw, and
will never be quartered. We will account for the risk of being quartered in
case 3, and account for the risk of being scooped in case 4.
On
the internet, you will find a myriad of articles on subjects such as
how to play a pair of 8 out of position in a 3-bet pot, whether or
not it is better to limp or raise with a pair of Aces, playing two
pairs on the river in Omaha HiLo…
While
these articles are valuable, and we indeed plan to publish plenty of
those on our website, I find that the simplest concepts are also
often the most profitable.
Today’s
article is about such a (very simple) concept, yet one that rates to
make you a good deal of money.
For a long while, Gus
Hansen was thought to be an eccentric player, with little or no
understanding of the maths underlying the game of poker. Given that
he used to be a high-stake backgammon player, I always found that
conception to be fairly optimistic. Every Hand Revealed should settle
the argument once and for all: there is indeed a string rationale to
Gus’ apparent madness.
The author is a
well known poster on twoplustwo, and is said to have very interesting ideas
about poker. He is also an estimed pzoker coach. I was thus looking forward to
receive my copy of Elements of Poker.
Razz is a form of seven-card stud
played for low. Each player’s goal is to form the lowest possible 5-card hand
out of his/her 7 cards. At the end of a deal, the smallest such 5-card hand
will win the pot.
The tables were quiet, however there was a shorthanded $50/100 limit table going. Normally I wouldn't sacrifice a few weeks of clever play for a bit of fun, but I saw two recognised fish on a table of four and thought it was worth joining. It broke all my rules of sensible play, but it was a thrill a minute!
The last couple of blogs, I've spoke about the exciting and chaotic poker times ive been having recently. Having become firmly established on the $150/300 tables, I noticed yesterday when I sat down on a $20/40 table instead, that I was too disinterested to play properly. This disrespect for money is worrying. When the time comes that I have to move down stakes, which is inevitable as players and their tactics change constantly, I want to be able to pick up where I left off on the smaller tables.
