The only strategy I've seen for CP is the chapter in Super System 2. I have yet to read it myself.

id keep the QQ @ short table and play the KQ if many ppl in the hand.

id say strategy is dont play too loose. 3 hole cards make your hands look stronger than they are. im guessing AAk is sweet.

I had some fpp from playmoney on UB and used them to play crazy pinapple..

I spent about two hours playing and to this day - I don't know why

1] I won when I did
2} I lost when I did

of course I busted out...still havnt sorted out the rules..lol

I've been working on some CP and CP8 strategy.

CP:

As growlers said, danglers are bad. You want three connected cards, like a pair with a suited connector, AAKs is probably the best startng hand around. Any pair with a suited ace is worth playing (and raising from any spot with TTAs+), and same with a suited king if you can get in cheap/late. You really need three strongly connected cards if possible.

Hands like while having good str8 potential, lack enough connectivity and suitedness to make them playble unless your very cheap/late. But hands like are worth playing, treat them like as you would any SC in hold'em, they have very good straight potential and decent enouogh flush potential. Beware though being dominated in the flush draw, its more likely than in HE to have flush draws outs there, since people can choose to play for the nut flush.

The discard is easy enough. See which two cards play the best. Dont play for the best hand on the flop play for the best hand on the river. Basically play the hand that has the best equity.

Ex: You have in the BB and the flop is . You have lots of raods to take here, the Pair, Straight draw or flush draw. The nut flush draw with the Pair is your best hand possibility, and you want to be raising, maybe even capping the flop, slowing down on the turn.

CP8:

This is a totally different beast than Omaha 8ob. It is VERY difficult to scoop without the wheel in CP8. In O8, you get to use 2 out of 4 cards twice, here you can only use upto 2 cards total. Also unlike in O8, you can play the board, so if the board reads A2345, everybody is chopping the low, but anybody with a 6 or 67 is taking the high. Here, you need to be going for solid lows with very strong high draws, or just a very strong high hand. AA2s, A23s, AK2s, A2xs, KKAs, etc. Again, Unlike O8b, where the low is the key part of the hand, here the High is strong point. A23s is a great hand because it offers excellent counterfeit protection and nut flush potential. But basically, dont be playing a hand with only low potential, you need a hihg hand to go with it.

The Flop and Discard is a much more difficult situation than in High only, since we must now choose and commit in one direction, it is a rare 2 card hand that can go both ways with some strength. Again, we must decide which combination gives the best equity, and push hard in that direction. Since we are only playing A2 lows here, this decision is easy, either we have a nut low/draw or we don't. Even if out nut low got counterfeited, but we still ended up with a nut flush draw, play that hard, a good small suited card could win back that scoop for you.


Post discard is just your standard HE strategy.
