I thought this was quite interesting. I am playing a $2 PL Omaha 8 tourney (I know, shoot me) because I'm an addict but can't concentrate enough to play anything worthwhile, when this hand came up.

It's reasonable to limp this in this game, where there is very little aggression.

Doesn't have to have much for that.

This is terrible with his actual hand.

I call with nut low draw and nut flush draw. If no one has or hits a boat, I could scoop.

Easy call. He can have me beat for high, but can only chop low, and it has to be unlikely he has it.

ASD-OCD shows [3s 8s Jd 2h]

Fucking awful. He should never limp this pre. It's a dog. 32xx is a trouble hand in OH and he has nothing else going on really.

On the flop, he has high sewn up obviously, but slowplaying it is horrible. Why let
me hit my low for free? I am supposing he thinks he will get more from a flush if it hits, but there's a decent wedge in the pot, and if someone hits a low, he gives up half of what's already there. He has nothing to lose by pumping the pot.

ASD-OCD shows a full house, Eights full of Twos, for high
basatagirl shows a flush, Ace high, for high and 8,6,3,2,A, for low
ASD-OCD wins the high pot (5,051) with a full house, Eights full of Twos
basatagirl wins the low pot (5,051) with 8,6,3,2,A

So that sucks a bit, not least that he hit a full with such a bad hand. This sucks more:

He should try to steal with the hand he has if he's going to play it, but I wouldn't play it.

I have no fold equity for a raise, even though my hand is okay. I prefer not to bloat the pot without any hope of just TingID.

*** FLOP *** [3h As 7c]

Not the best flop because there's a low out there and the ace is really bad for me.

basatagirl checks
Darkdeck bets 200
basatagirl calls 200

I call because I have TPTK on an unconnected board, and he doesn't have to have a low
because these boys will often play high-only hands. I should probably fold, but I hate to give up too easily against these really bad players.

*** TURN *** [3h As 7c] [Kh]

That's a great turn for me, because I now have the best high.

Darkdeck bets 400

I am hoping to make him fold hands that have bad lows and no highs and draws to beat me, like 64xx maybe.

Darkdeck shows [2c 4s 2h 5c]

Obviously he is not folding a nut low. I am in good shape for high though because he'd need a 4 or a 2 to beat me, and obv. he has one of the 4s and only one 2 is still in the deck.

Oh shit.

My bustout hand was quite disappointing.

I hate minraises in Omaha. You don't have much, if any, steal equity, so all you're doing is bloat the pot.

Will call with nearly anything, he's that bad.

That's a big bet, so he probably has something. However, I'd think he's more likely to have something like 54xx or Acxcxx than a set of jacks, so I'm probably ahead for high and have hopes for low. Folding here would be far too weak in my view, and given the amount I have to call, I should play for stacks.

basatagirl raises to 3,840

So I do.

I would have rather kept the pot smaller with his hand, and looked to make money when I actually had a hand, but I'm not him.

I now very much don't want to see a club on the turn, particularly not a high one.

*** TURN *** [Jc 6d 2c] [Qc]

FUCK. I mean, on the one hand I have a set, but on the other, the flush made, and he's likely to have it.

Yeah, cunt, you should have done that on the flop, given that I only had 5 left behind.

He has the worst possible hand for me. He should have 3bet preflop imo, because it's always better to take it down preflop than to try to let me have a shot at outflopping him on a high-only board getting 5/1.

Sadly, he not only has the flush, but he halves my low too, so I badly need the board to pair.

Which of course it doesn't.

Oh well. Just because this fish played nearly every fucking hand and hit perfect against me are not reasons to cry. But his being Australian is. All -- and I mean all -- Australian players are entirely retarded, and should never win a cent at poker imo.
