3-Card Omaha sanghoki
I’ve had the best sanghoki night EVER yesterday — not quite because I won a lot of cash (I ended up about $200 in the game, enough to cover about 20BB on my usual levels hehe), but because of the 3-Card Omaha poker variant we played. I’m converted, it beats Texas Hold’em with a pineapple (pun intended).
Anyway, pretty much a table full of people playing 3-card omaha for the first time resulted in loose play, and a lot of people seeing flops. I decided early on that I would focus on playing hands with Omaha-value — raising big with pocket pairs too, though. What really seemed to work were the pocket pair + suited connector hands… One killer was when my friend picked up KKQ with KQ suited. He flopped a set of kings, but ended up winning with the nut straight. Lovely! :)
Yay suckouts!
I feel invincible. Just sucked out badly in a $50 buy-in freeze-out, and am now in first chip position with about 50 people left from 290 starters…
Fingers crossed — when Kings crack Aces, you’re ready to take down a tournament, right? :D
WAZZAAAAAA!!
Anyway, 3-card omaha is a great poker game. Remember: if you don’t use two hole cards, you’re playing pineapple, and it’s a lot sanghoki less of an action-game.
Liz Lieu (and Isabelle Mercier) talking to Pokernews
Two pokerbabes talking to pokernews. One drunk, one not so much. Liz Lieu, the pioker diva (who looks stunning AND appears to be single — or at least WAS) talks a little poker but mostly stands there being supercute. She’s got great sunglasses too, by the way — what a woman!Damn suckouts! :D
Okay, I asked for it right here didn’t I? :D
Went out in fifth place taking home a good amount of cash, but still feel kinda stupid, as going out was……… with QQ. Was second shortstack, got called by A5os by the big stack on the BB — and he made the ace high flush (I had the Q flush too). :D
Oh well, can’t complain someone calling with A5os when you’ve got the queens, aye.
Please stop the suckouts
Seems like I’ve been focussing on suckouts on this blog way too much — sorry about that — but I’m going to try one more time, the last time for February, I PROMISE! :D
Anyway, 24$ 6-seater S&G, Full Tilt Poker, No Limit Hold’em — I get dealt KK in the very first hand. I raise 4BB, one call, SB Villain re-raises minimum, I shove in half my stack — he calls. Flop AJ4 rainbow. SB shoves, I fold. Villian shows A9.Blergh.
QQI’m now the short stack. Hand #8 and I pick up QQ. I’m under the gun after the blinds, and shove right away. One caller in the BB, shows JJ. The turn brings the jack. Tourney finished.
Played two hands.
Oh the beautiful game of poker, especially with me on tilt.
KK vs. KK vs. TT
This is funny stuff. You would probably think the TT has a much better shot against TWO kk’s, but that’s not really the case — it’s still about 4/1. Why? Because it probably needs a T to improve…
Well, when that T hits the flop, you do have a pretty good shot at winning the hand — like this one….
