Raise Raise Raise


I was playing 2/4 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo today at Full Tilt Poker when this hand transpired. Holding a good H/L hand I entered the pot for a discount in the small blind. I them proceeded to flop trip aces and a nice low draw. The turn gave me the Nuts for the high pot and a good low to go along with it. Tonky77 and I capped the betting on the turn and river when I held the virtual nuts. I ended up scooping the pot as he was raising with a decent high and no low. Tonky77 put a good portion of his stack in the pot with his only hope being to win half the pot and his investment back. The only time you should be re-raising in Omaha H/L is when you either have a strong high and low hand or your holding a Nut high. Never put a lot of money in the pot with the nut low heads up or 3 handed as there is a good chance that you will get a quarter of the pot by facing your opponents high hand and identical low to yours. This is why playing solid poker and being patient can be very profitable online. This ended up being an $80 pot that was built up by an inexperienced player. What are your opinions of the players online and the experience of the players there?

Donkeys Online

I was a believer that online Texas Holdem had become tight and unprofitable for a squeezer like me. My mind was changed when I joined a table at Full Tilt Poker with one of my affiliates yesterday and turned $50 into $400 in about ten minutes. We were playing $1/2 NL and there was a player, cajun2004, who was giving money away. He was calling all in with Ace high and raising crazy amounts, up to $30 pre-flop. Remarkably people kept doubling him up with weak draws or weak aces and he kept the game gambling and giving chips to me. I stopped playing after I pushed cajun2004 all in with his last $80 on a 655 flop with my pocket tens. cajun2004 held K4 and the turn gave him a straight draw and the river completed the straight. So here is evidence that there are still donkeys in the online rooms, drunk or otherwise, but watch out for the suckouts.
