    Default Final 5 O8b tourney

    I have no clue about short handed O8b. Need some advice.


    PokerStars Game #2114026124: Tournament #9858420, Omaha Hi/Lo Limit - Level XVIII (20000/40000) - 2005/07/16 - 02:18:00 (ET)
    Table '9858420 46' Seat #8 is the button
    Seat 1: tcal (240936 in chips)
    Seat 4: wishman49 (115201 in chips)
    Seat 6: beavis68 (283764 in chips)
    Seat 7: babyjay (260904 in chips)
    Seat 8: whitealroker (165695 in chips)
    tcal: posts small blind 10000
    wishman49: posts big blind 20000
    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to beavis68 [ ]
    beavis68: raises 20000 to 40000 - I was really hoping to just steal it, but with a good low and a pair I thought this had short handed value.
    babyjay: folds
    whitealroker: calls 40000
    tcal: calls 30000
    wishman49: folds
    *** FLOP *** [ ] What a mixed blessing... a set, but my low was counterfietted and there is a flush and straight draw galore.
    tcal: bets 20000
    beavis68:??

    I don't like the raise, this is a hand that will play good multiway, you got lucky and got 2 callers but I think enticing 1 or 2 more is better since you will most likely only win one way here.

    post flop 3 handed ughhh, horrible situation I think I would play it even though I want to tell you to fold. However the real correct play might be to raise to eliminate the other guy in case you are beat high and can squeeze out an emergency low with the live 2.

    Unfortuneately with the nut flush draw and middle set you are probably stuck in this pot until the river so I would want to eliminate the other guy who might have A45 or 24/25 type hands in case you are up against AA and not the 23 or 235 I think he has. although AA is a good possibility

    The chances 1 guy can beat you both ways at the river is slim unless a 235 falls and you get no help I would try to eliminate the other player.

    I didn't have the nut flush draw, only the bare .

    Sucks to be the chip leader and only have 6.5BBs in your stack.
