  1. top 5 paid a $320 ticket, everyone else is aloser... tips please. Personally, I think the postflop call is shockingly bad, though I will admit my preflop play led me into this predicament.

  2. BOOO!!!!! Your hand sucks mucho!
  3. Top 5 paid, 7 left, you're chip leader. Fold preflop.
  4. you were a 63% favorite on the flop, and yes that was a rather loose call by him.
  5. As chipleader you should have laid back until there was 6 left then pushed pushed pushed.

    with 2 spots left to go smallstacks are usually willing to gamble more.
  6. actually two tables left, probably 13-14 players left, 9 are paid, but 6-8 is $16, and 9th is $1 where top 5 is $320... So, my preflop play was pretty attrocious, but who's calling there stack with qq in a prefloppopped hand???

  7. QQ double sooted, with a high and a low possibility. and he was not in a pot with a bunch of players. I'd play this HU all day long.

    but it all depends on your table image, if they are a wcooop satelite donk, etc. I think with Blinds that high you shouldn't even of been in the pot....

    I look forward to you doing this should we meet...... not much of a low possibility, seeing as how you need to be in a different game to capitalize on that.

    As to the original poster..... tough break.... I would not have raised that until I had something though. Your opponent did make a bad call , but maybe was getting desperate.

  9. playin a low in omaha hi can lead to some bad mistakes... lol

    fold and find a better spot.. he made a questionable call post flop IMO but thats why omaha is so fun.
  10. this is a hi only pl turbo sat to the wcoop. i can't see the value in calling with qq, how can he possibly think he is ahead??

  11. Omaha?

    He's an idiot for calling.
    Your preflop bet was bad. aggressive, but bad.
