Poker Video: Pot-Limit Omaha by whitelime (High Stakes)

Nice video Emil. In case you dont know, if you press "visualize" (top left corner red button or under de hand history window, you can see the action of the last hand like fulltilt.

I was a little curious about the equity here and thought others might be as well.

ProPokerTools Omaha Hi Simulation
666 trials (Exhaustive)
board: A96
8h7h6h5c 35.59% (234 wins, 6 ties)
AcQdTs8s 27.70% (177 wins, 15 ties)
AhTh2s9c 36.71% (240 wins, 9 ties)

Great video as usual but the sound is a little bit out of sync.

We definitely can't fold when both players get all-in and we only have to stick in $500 and change but I think shoving over the initial c-bet is probably better because we can get the 3rd player to fold a hand similar to ours.

Yeah folding is definitely not a consideration after calling the c-bet and obviously this sim isn't representative of their whole ranges.

You never got to talking about that cold 4bet spot w/ AAxx. Could you go into that?

how horriable is it to semibluff jam here?

JJ95 on Jc2hAhQc,

I see alot of taggy players semibluff with sets when straight draws or flush draws hit. I play 25plo though.

Do you like it better if the board didnt have a second flush draw?

with 2ka6 on the 2s7sKd board, w/ no real back doors, what are you doing here if he pot raises you on the flop? I'd think he have something like k7xx, kkxx, 7789, 7786 and KsQsTd8h. Vs that range I think we'd have to fold.

Emil, could you talk more about the difference between check-raising a board like 778 opposed to 788? When you said it was a mistake to c/r 788 did you mean as a bluff or for value (or both) as in we should be check-calling instead of check-raising most of the time?

Edit: so should we think about balancing our check-raise bluffs with our 8BBx hands while still only check-calling with our not-so-strong 8xxx so our opponent's can't barrel us that easily when we check-call with hands like KK or AA?

You never got to talking about that cold 4bet spot w/ AAxx. Could you go into that?

I think it's pretty standard. You get in almost a 3rd of your stack and you likely get it heads-up with a PSB on the flop and in position. If both call the pot is $2100 and you have an easy shove on a most flops with $1500 and the opponent in the middle gets sandwiched pretty bad here.

Edit: oh, were you asking about when whitelime said we didn't have to 4bet in this spot?

Shouldn't the fact that there aren't that many blanks that can fall on the turn or river refrain us from check-raising with middle set here? Shouldn't we check-call or lead and have the pot be smaller on the turn since the hand will be kind of tough to play OOP with 200 bbs?

Doesn't it also put us in an awkward spot when he comes over the top to our flop check-raise? I guess with our OESD we have 6 more clean outs that our opponent might even use to bluff the turn. Is it because of that we can profitably play the hand this way?

Sound resynced and uploaded.

Stars does have a replayer that works very similar to FTP's. If you click the Visualize button from the HH window, it will bring it up or if you click the replayer button in the table window (the little red circle next to the HH link), it will bring up the replayer too.

Any chance you can finish the rest of the series with some HU play?

Do you realize you use the phrase "right there" in almost every sentence?

Sry to be nitty. It just started tilting me after I noticed.

Great vid otherwise.
