    Default limit O8b high hands

    I give little value to high hands. Ill limp in with some strong high hands in late position, but really about 80% of the hands I play are low hands like A2x, A3x, 234, A24 etc..

    Example:
    9 handed
    huntress1 posts the small blind of $.25.
    66Buffalo66 posts the big blind of $.50.

    gder03: Kh Td Ac Jh

    Pre-flop:

    KittyKat18 folds. gder03 folds. ruthless calls. etc..

    even if this was double suited, when im second to act in full ring, im prlly tossing it.

    Low hand example:
    faded11 posts the small blind of $.25.
    SLAYER MIKE posts the big blind of $.50.
    gder03: 9h Ac 2d 6d

    Pre-flop:

    gemark folds. huntress1 calls. eddo folds. 66Buffalo66 folds. KittyKat18 calls. gder03 calls. ruthless folds. trifecta76 folds. faded11 folds. SLAYER MIKE checks. etc...

    comments beavis? or anyone who plays O8b

    I'm not really sure what your question is but here goes.

    AKJT is an ok hand for 1 bet. It is much better with a suited Ace or even King, Jack, or Ten. There is nothing wrong with mucking it from up front unless you have a suited Ace then you are losing some profit.

    I play a similar style

    EP,

    A2

    A3 with something else going for it like another wheel card, 2 broadway cards, a suited high card preferably an Ace, a pair, or 2 low cards like 78

    AA with a wheel card or suited Aces or 2 broadway cards or a pair of 99-KK

    2345 or 2346

    MP,

    Here I loosen up a bit and will play

    any A3 for 1 bet

    any 4 high cards T-A

    AA with a suited Ace

    LP,

    for 1 bet I'll add

    any 234 or 235

    A45 with a suited Ace

    A4 with 2 broadways and a suited Ace

    most AA hands

    KK ds with 2 wheel cards like KK25

    any 4 cards 9-K

    Those are just my general guidelines and I'll change it based on table conditions and active opponents.

    unless the game is really aggressive I play this hand every time. the suited K gives you good back-up. out of 11k hands, I have only had this hand twice though.....
