Omaha PL HI/LO Question

Postby Phantom » Fri Oct 15, 2010 11:08 am

Accidentally joined a Omaha hi/lo PL online freeroll tourny the other day and really enjoyed it. I have now read a few articles about the game but have one question -
If I have Ah 2h X X and the board is 3h 4h 5h X X does this five me a Straight flush for the High and a wheel for the low? I realise that the low can be matched and the High can be beaten (with 6h 7h, rare I know).

I ask this question here because it's the only Poker forum that I am a member of :lol:
Please note that I am NOT the World Champ, Australian Champ, SA champ or even the Adelaide Hills champ so any advice I give must be taken with tonne of salt :P

Yes, you're qualifying high hand is a straight flush, and you're qualifying low hand is the nut low.

Yeah not PLO related but I also did just this in a HU SnG earlier today -

15/30 - Me: 1900 v 1100 stacks
I had: JImageTImage in the SB, raised 3x pre

Flop: 2Image 8Image 9Image

Opponent c/r jams, which I snap call :D

And was severely berrated in the chat for calling an ~30bb push on a draw and winning (He had AImage9Image).... Funnily enough (but typical) he wouldnt listen at all in the 1st rematch when I tried to explain that "Yes, I was a 70/30 favourite vs his TPTK"... Even telling him I had 23 outs didnt convince him, he just couldnt get that I stacked off on a draw! meh I took his $$ 4 times before he quit, rather tilted I suspect as he 4bet shoved air and I had KK :D

i dont respond to chat anymore

i have been playing the nitro SNGs on 888 lately, 4 max super turbos pretty much. they are great if you have any idea of proper shoving and calling ranges.

but they do get annoyed when i shove 3/4 hands :D

Yeah, I only responded with "Dude, I was a about a 70/30 favourite, having 21 outs" - I miss entered that as 23 in OP :oops: and ignored his trash talk after that.
