Hold’em Bollocks and PLO pots
Friday, October 9th, 2009Biscotti played some tables online this week because the guys from the homegame don’t dare to play against me anymore for a while. I faced an enormous bad beat in an hold’em tournament but then I tried to play another game, more specific Pot Limit Omaha. I immediately pwned that game and took down a great pot with a hand I played like a genius.
Now look at the ridiculous hold’em situation:
So I’m the chipleader of the table and I flop an OESD ánd a flushdraw, while the other big stack just moves all-in on the flop. As my hand is of course huge I call immediately. However, the pot odds were not completely justifying a call there but you have to kick people out to win a tournament. The replayer says I’m a four to one dog there but I think that’s not correct because of all the draws I have. However, the turn is a cooler.
Then I played some Pot Limit Omaha and I made a brilliant play:
The replay is a little fucked up, but it couldn’t be more obvious how good I play this hand. I just call all this guy’s bets because I know I’m beat so that’s a very good play. But on the river I know I have the best hand but CHECK towards him with quads! Of course I reraise him and he sees that I’m rewarded on the river for my good plays on flop and turn.
