Bluffing In Omaha
Monday, June 23, 2008
The recycled wisdom from the big men who write big books about Omaha is that you don’t bluff in Omaha, other than the lone ace flush bluff. That’s true, except when it isn’t. I just bluffed and won in Omaha because I knew the other guy’s cards.
In highish position I’m dealt Ah 9s 8h Ks [...]
A Classic Omaha Move
Thursday, May 29, 2008
Of course, the classicest of all Omaha moves is to get all your chips in when you’re ahead, and that’s what I did. The thing is, in this particular hand, the other guy thought he was ahead instead, but he was wrong. All he had was the nuts on the flop, which was worthless.
I had [...]
An Omaha Bluff
Monday, March 17, 2008
I know you’re not supposed to bluff in Omaha, but this bluff seemed right. A player bet into me when I had the nut straight on the flop. I call. On the turn the flush card hits and he bets to me. At that point I decide that he also might have the straight, but [...]
Mountaineer I
Saturday, March 1, 2008
I just got back from my first trip to the poker room at Mountaineer. I think it went well. I finished down about $30, after a seven hour session at a $1/$2 table.
Here’s one hand where I might have been able to pick up some more chips. I limp early with pocket nines. A quality [...]
Beer And Sleep Depravation
Saturday, February 23, 2008
Interesting fact about myself: After an eight hour session of poker, constantly drinking beer, by five O’clock A.M., my decision making abilities have a less reliable quality than usual.
Alan got me all in when I had queen high in lowball pot limit Omaha (the fact that we were even playing lowball pot limit Omaha should [...]

A Bluff
Thursday, October 25, 2007
Why do we play poker? To make money off of idiots? For the intellectual exersise? Perhaps. But the real reason is so that we can go all-in and bluff people out of a giant pot while holding absolute bupkis.

Outpipped
Saturday, October 13, 2007
Here’s a mistake I made that I should have actually avoided if I had thought a little more clearly.
I hold TQs. The flop is TTJ two clubs. I have trips and I bet it out. I get raised. Now I have to think. I end up deciding that there’s no way he’s on a drawing [...]
