.25/.25 PLO on Chan

OMAHA_HI, POT_LIMIT, P4-63859797-355
played at "Tunis" for USD RM from 2008-03-26 00:16 until 2008-03-26 00:18

I am in the big blind with 7 7 9 10. Now I hate Chan hand histories since they don't show the cards you've been dealt unless the hands get shown down, and as such I can't remember suits. I can tell you I did not have two diamonds and thus did not have a flush draw.

Out of curiosity, would people prefer if I didn't post my thoughts on my play with the HH. The thing is that I'm very interested in comparing my thinking to that of other, more knowledgeable players, so I want to let people know what I was hoping to accomplish.

Comments

  • With a defensive bet (blocking bet), for it to be profitable, you want to make it a relatively small bet. I don't really play too much pot limit of any game, so I don't know how effective it is, but the purpose of it is to keep the pot small as you really don't know where you stand. You think you have the best hand, and don't want to call a big "bluff" bet to find out.
