click "HUD Options", not sure how you missed it

Last I checked there were some good guides on the official Holdem Manager forums, you should take a look over there.

A linear range is the opposite of a polarized range. A polarized range is a range that is either really weak or really strong. For example, someone bets out on a 4-flush unpaired board, and you think their range is at least the K-high flush, or absolute bluffs.

A linear range is... sort of like, a range in a straight line. Say the board is K78TT and someone bets, you think he could be betting with anything between TPTK or quads. So his range would be linear.

another example, red = linear, blue = polarized



A better example is actually a preflop raising range, most players at the lowest microstakes don't polarize their 3 betting range at all. So if someone with a 4% 3bet stat 3bets, you can be sure his range is pretty close to {99+,AQs+,AKo}. Whereas a decent higher stakes player would have some low pairs and suited connectors or even gappers in that range, so you wouldn't be able to range him so accurately.

In a SNG, it is folded to be button who is a loose passive. He limps. You have A8 in SB, there is a nit behind. What do we do here ?

Stack sizes? Blinds? Size of SNG? Number of players left? Payout structure?

All average stacks, mid way through tourney, 18 players, 13 left, top 4 paid.

what is the name of that youtube poker series about poker. It starts with a guy in USA after BF I think, he goes to play live, his father beats him... I dont know why I cant find it anywhere....

Fold.

in omaha high/low can you can only use 2 of your 4 hollcard, but can those be used twice for the high and for the low or cant you use the same cards for the high as if for the low?
sample:

hero: A268
board: 345xx
high: A2345
low: A2345
Or
high: A2345
low: 34568

You can use any two cards for both the high and the low.

To make it less ambiguous: You can use any two for the high, and any two - possibly different - for the low. In your example we use A2 for the low and 26 for the high if I'm reading this correctly.

Hi 2+2!

I was a little unsure of this hand, no info on villain.

I think I played it pretty badly overall, probably should have either folded turn or called river. Wasn't sure about villain's range either, I suppose I presumed him to have A3 of spades or maybe AQ.




My limp was a misclick btw, I was going to raise to 8 cents. Would have made it easier to figure out villain's range. Any thoughts would be appreciated

Don't play suited connectors if you're going to fold flushes.

Raise preflop. Raise flop. Call river. River fold is shocking.

straight flush draw.... a dream for all poker players. So much equity on your hand. Never limp, raise flop huge...

Thanks a lot for the replies. I know, it was pretty terribly played really, felt kinda stupid afterwards. Getting too nitty when I have no info on villain is a problem for me. The limp was a misclick btw, I think that mistake compounded the rest of the hand a bit.

i play hold'em and just started learning omaha for a friends $1/$2 home cash game, $200 buy-in.

is calculating odds the same in omaha as in hold'em?

i have 6 7 8 9.

flop is 3 7 j

i have flushdraw, gutshot, and middle pair.

does that mean the odds of hitting is:
flushdraw: 9 outs
gutshot: 3 outs (because one of the outs is a heart thats counted in flushdraw)
7's: 2outs

14outs? x 4 = 56% by river?

so it's coinflip if i push?

It depends on your opponent's cards as well. Moreover, the 2-4 rule is a bit less accurate in Omaha since there are only 48 unknown cards instead of 50.

thank you Mr Beer and TheDefiniteArticle i will read them tomorrow

Do you guys show your VIP status when playing? Does it affect players for like giving them a mindset that these players are actually better in the game or something? Will the fish be careful playing with people that has VIP status that consists of 2 stars and above?

ofc not

Poker is a game of information, why give it away free?
