Ok maybe il go first :)

The more i look at the hand the more i think i played it pretty badly actually

Preflop, even though my aces are with rags i think with this guys willingness to fold on most turns i was happy to get the pot big BTN was quite bad too i had 150ish hands on him and he limp/folds alot pre esp in LP.

Flop, I def didnt want to check and give a free card here and if he raises me its probably a fold here after seeing him float all the time then fold the turn a raise is probably nuts. When he calls its still difficult to know what hes on since he comes along for the ride so often here but at most hes on a flush or straight draw not both think he would have raised if he was on both.

Turn, this is where i think it gets horrible so many draws have completed now and if he calls i think im pretty crushed but since ive seen him give such a high% of times in this situation (small sample i know) i just cant resist to get more in.

Anyone wanna guess what he shows here?

Also please comment on my analysis if it sucks i wanna know why :f_love:

Thanks ladies,
Carl

Well actually the guy had JQ53 no FD as expected so i got my money in good but could have so easily been crushed so many times in that situation i think or am i wrong? is normal to find someone calling the rest of their stack with 1 card to come with top pair and straight draw?

Only 5 days to go to the wedding now i think bricking it is an understatement tbh.

Trying to think of anything i might still need to buy we have all the main things done but probably missed a load of the little bits that we should have bought by now il be glad when its Sunday when im married hungover and dont have to think about what the bridesmaids are wearing or if this prurple goes with this ivory....

Got some cool cufflinks though AK of spades :f_cool: had to get some poker in on the day somehow

With the hand, i probably go for a check raise AI on flop and if he doesn't bet just go for value on turn and river if they blank. As the cards ran out, if he bets im folding as there is nothing a passive player will bet there that you beat.

Hope the weeding goes well and that it was worth the endless planning lol. Just think, when its over you'll be able to start grinding! :f_cool:

You won't need luck! Just, every now and then, take a moment with your bride to take in the experience - it's easy for it to rush by with so much activity.

Interesting blog, NL 2 & 5 player here from the Uk looking to play more omaha and learn the game properly

Do you play CAP tables?

All the best for you!

Don't teach omaha to your wife. Eventually you would flip for who cleans the house etc. and women run so friggin' good ;)
