This is the last I will say on this to avoid derailing the thread to much: I actually strongly prefer when I show up at the table to end up in the 1, 4-6, or 9 seat so that if a good seat-change opportunity comes up I have a plausible pretext for moving into the 2, 3, 7, or 8. If I land in the corner from the get-go I am almost never moving.

Good point!

I honestly don't move to get position on people that much. I usually move out of superstition, trying to get to the hot seat.

Moving to the direct left of the biggest donator will always be the most immediately profitable seat to be in.

I’m not a fan of predatory seat changes in general. I prefer not to change seats, but rather to stick with whatever seat I’m in and adjust to the situations with which I’m faced.

A true maniac (someone who bets/raises 100% of the time) is better on your left, as his predictable play gives you position on the table. Is most of the time 51%, 75%, or 95%? The closer the answer is to 100%, the more I'm just as happy to act before this person. This gives you the option to control the odds of the people behind the collective that you and the maniac create. If he's just really aggressive or willing to adjust, you're not as happy. The game should be great, unless he's not a maniac and actually a good LAG or a close to good LAG. Then you were in a bad passive game and it is now a bad aggressive one.
You get to iso 3 bet, and play a huge pot with two bad players?

Is the idea to quit to lock up a win? It sounds like the game wasn't that great to begin with. Now it got significantly better, though volatile.



A reason to leave is that you're under-rolled. That might make sadface leaving OK.

20/40 half kill Omaha Hi.
(Part of LHE mix 50/50 per round).


Should I call below?

*SB*
3 limps by Loose Passive / Tight passive.

JJT5
single suited, fine to call?


*UTG*
9987
Double suited, fine to raise PF 8 handed vs Loose Passive & Tight Passive villains?

first hand seems like an easy call getting that price.

second hand is probably fine to raise if that has an effect on how many play. If you're in a game where it goes off 5-8h regardless of what you do, you could limp or fold (gasp!). its not going to make the nuts that often against that many and bluffing is largely off the table.

+1

I play bad and folded both PF.
Being result oriented, would have hit middle set with both and lost both vs Ahi flush and nut straight.

1000% agree PF fold is bad for both.

Need to learn how to open limp which I'm still leaning towards NOT doing in Omaha vs raise PF even UTG in hand 2.

I call the first one and limp the second, although folding the second wouldn’t be too far wrong where you are out of position and your flushes are likely not worth much.

Thank you.

Assuming table bunch of Loose Passive & Tight Passives, is there like open limp % in Omaha Hi?

I'm guessing like top 20% with min requirement at least ONE FD?

Depends a lot on three bet percentage behind you. Initiative isn’t worth much in early position when it goes 5 handed all the time.

+1 considering best friend went up 3k in 3 hours roughly 4 handed vs 2 whales chasing two pairdraw down to SD in Omaha Hi

PS: Please attemt to join Fri game at least semi monthly if possible in your busy schedule. Think just need more players lol

Loose passive limps in HJ, TAG raises in CO. The blinds are tight. The HJ is never folding for two. I'm on the button with QJo.

What should I do?

Fold

Thanks!

I haven't played since February but hoping to get back in soon. I feel rusty now.

Is QsJs a 3b? How about JTs?

I three bet or fold those based on image, game dynamics and opponents.

I 3ball suits all day in that spot .

20/40 half kill 10 handed.

UTG LAGTAG raises.
HERO has KQo in CO.

UTG LAGTAG is one of best players in game.

Per my best friend, UTG LAGTAG was playing tight in ring that session and would be a good fold PF by HERO.

How short handed would the game need to be for KQo in CO to be 100% 3 bet PF vs UTG LAGTAG expert pfr?

Why would you want to isolate yourself with the best player in the game with offsuit trash when they raised UTG

If this was me, you should three bet.

I think 77 and KQo are 3 bets vs utg tag ranges at a 6 max table. Vs the first 3 seats at a 9 handed table I think these are folds.

But its all about the range you put him on.

It has been a while since I have played LHE on this level, but I am thinking that it is an obvious 3-bet if it's five handed (we are CO and villain is HJ) and I am inclined to fold if the villain is UTG in a 10-handed game. I don't know where the dividing line is, maybe the farjack/MP?

(Is LAGTATG the sort of good player who never four-bets their opens HU OOP so that their range is uncapped?)

It's an easy fold 10-handed, an easy 3bet 6-handed, and probably standard against this guy 7-handed imo.

+1

Temporarily 6 handed. 20/40

TAG UTG opens, very loose passive calls on the button. The BB is a TAG. I am in the SB

What do you do with these hands?

44's
67s
K7s
A5s

If it's a fold what would you call with in that category?

Thanks!
