1st place in $3 Omaha Hi/Lo

... could have folded preflop i guess but getting in for cheap with a reasonable hand i decided to call

I hear you on that and do the same more often then I should ... getting sucked into "its cheap" trap.


Playing devil's advocate here ... food for thought ... throwing this out there..

How much did you like your position ... your chip stack ... and your cards?


If I like one of those three things I might enter a pot ... if I like 2 of the three, I'm likely to enter the pot ... all 3 is a no brainer.

my calculation for your hand was zero of three ... of course there is more to poker then those 3 things but those are 3 major ones

thats true. but in any case the question was asking what to do on the river not whether i shud have been in the hand or not. its equivalent to hold em when limping in the sb with 42 or something, sure your gonna lose an overwhelming amount of the time but you also have the potential to break someone for a small amount of chips. for instance the 9 times outta 10 you lose with 42 may or may not be made up with a huge score when u flop a str8, trips, 2 pair. different game but same analogy, the hands not great but ill risk the small limp to try and flop big and break sum1. everyone has their own way of playing and opinion, i dont mind a limp in that spot.
