NLHE/PLO8 Multi-Table

NLHE

(66) What a weird hand. GrannyBH basically insists that I catch up, then pays me off. Terribly-timed slowplays like that get instant notage.

(33) Set of threes get paid immediately after.

35 Hands



PLO8

First hand in...my outs to the open-ender are extremely clean, and are also outs that give me the nut straight to someone's potential sucker end. I am compelled to draw at that at every stage, and hitting pays well.

Somewhat loose call flops perfect and turns a bit scary, giving me the sucker end. I survive a top-set boat draw and take it down. Villain fails to raise pf with AAQJds and lets a marginal hand like mine get there.

Today's BB Special is the rare high-side quartering fairy visit, and with the second nuts, no less.

Villain and I show the discipline to minimize rake in a pretty clear chop situation. But is that how you should play the turn? I let my nut low get counterfeited, it was just still enough for half.

(7532ss) Maybe this is a fold UTG without an ace, but I like three-wheel-card hands a lot, and again, most flops end up limped at this level.

(JJ98ss) I make a sweetener raise, which I like with hands where it will be pretty clear where you stand on the flop. I end up not clear here, though, with the set but not the nuts. I bet to poke at the situation, and the flat call tells me the straight isn't out there. My turn v-bet when I boat up doesn't get called.

I flop the nut low and a wrap on a rainbow board, but get no action.

A tough hand...try playing that river inside your twenty-second window. It felt like the guy was chasing a draw and missed, but the river counterfeits my low. I check, and he puts me to the test. I went with my read, but even though I was right that my aces were good for the high (and that he sucked out for half the pot), I'm going to be right with my read and randomly lose the high to a two pair or something.
