    @3: Question 2:
    Imo we should not defend with a K face up, as we are behind and our opponent perfectly can act against us on later streets. I prefer defending my bring-in with max. a J showing and two hole cards lower than his face card.

    Hey i don't have much of experience with limit type games, but like in last example how do you protect your hand or bluff somebody out when you can only minraise and give him monster odds.

    @#7: You can protect against weak draws, but not against strong draws. In Limit Games people make errors by chasing weak draws or calling down with bad hands. And these errors sum up with the sample size. In Limit Games you generally suffer more suckouts, but fish tend to make spewy plays more often since they dont cost much per hand and it seems to them that they are successful by sucking you out at times.

    I'm not sure if you accidentally posted in the wrong video thread or not. However, in Omaha Hi/Lo we don't have any upcards. All 4 cards are concealed. The only exposed cards are the community cards just like in texas holdem.

    WARNING! The Q635 hand I had in the Big Blind at 38:30 is a poorly played hand post flop. This should be an easy fold in a 5 way pot with two diamonds on baord. I was trying to avoid strategy talk in this video as it is only an introduction, but I felt this hand needed pointing out. I'll be making a strategy video soon, perhaps I'll cover why this is a terrible play in that video if you guys would like.

    RE: #7
    Protecting one's hand isn't quite as relevant in limit games as it is in NL games. The majority of our profits in limit games will come from players calling an extra bet here and there because of the "hey, it's only one small bet more, why not?" mentality of our opponents. Players will often pay you off on every street when they are drawing dead. This happens much more often in limit than in NL. With that advantage however comes more suckouts. It's just part of the game. Being sucked out on in a limit hand is actually something worth celebrating. It means you are at the right table :)

    following up: there are some more intermediate level plays that we can make to protect our hand in Omaha Hi/Lo. I'll get into some of these plays in a later video.

    lol banzhai, not quite sure how I missed this first time round, but it is funny. :-)

    Nice video, Rainman Trail, keep up the good work! A question though: When will your next Stud8 strategy video be publilshed? As a Stud8 player, I would really appreciate if you continued your Stud8 strategy series soon. There is not much content available for this form of Poker, and the wait between the different videos feels like forever.

    that's hillarious banzhai. Good find. I concur, it's 1 bet, 3 raises per petting round.

    Thank you. "only" might have been the wrong word. I meant "exclusively" - no hate at limit :D

    I don`t understand the "counterfitted" thing.
    When I have a 2A54 hand and on the board is 2 3 4 5 8. Does it means that I do not have low hand because I am not allowed 2 use my counterfitted holdings 2 make a low?
    Is this only 4 the low like this? because of this "and a piece" possibility?
  • jbpatzer

    Lol @

    i) 'Omaha Hi-Lo is a good game in which to win a WSOP bracelet' (again!)
    ii) 'petting round'. Typo, or Freudian slip?
    iii) Sitting at a 5c/10c table with $233!

    Enjoyed the video. Thx v much.

    If you had A245 and the board is 23458, you still have a wheel because even though you "counterfeitted" you can still make a wheel using 2 cards from your hand and 3 from the board. An example where you are truly counterfeitted would be if you had A266 and the board came out 378Q2. In this hand, you would have nut low on the flop because you have A2 and there are 3 qualifying low cards on board. However, on the river, another 2 showed up and counterfeitted your nut low. The nut low would now be A4, but the best low you can make uses your A6 since the 2 no longer helps you. In this instance, we say you got "counterfeitted" because you had nut low on the flop, but no longer did on the river.

    Also, when we say, "and a piece" that means you are using one of the cards from your hand that is also on board. Example:
    234Q --A345J--
    We have A2345 for low because we can play our 2 and "a piece". We can either play 23 or 24, both the 3 and the 4 are "pieces" since they are also on baord.
    Another example:
    We have: A27K
    Board: --456TA--
    We would play our 2 and "a piece" to make 6542A low. This would beat out any player that had a 3 and "a piece" but would lose to a player that had both 2,3.

    Question to the 1# hand: why there was no split pot? Villian had low hand, but You take whole pot 49.5$?

    @9: Kogtistiy referred to his questions concerning your Razz vid.

    Sry for beeing off-topic!
  • RainmanTrail

    @28, It was a split pot, but the hh replayer doesn't know what to do with split pots, so it displays them incorrectly.

    Is a 23456 lower than A3458?
  • Ribbo

    #33

    #32 read the hands as a number from the highest rank to the lowest.

    85431 is A3458
    65432 is 23456

    65432 is a lower number than 85431 therefore is the better low hand!
