I absolutely hate playing for the high only. THis is because you only have a chance to take half of the pot, and if the lo hits a better hi then you get scooped like you did here.
So my advice is to try to play hands that can take both the hi and the lo.
Hope this helps.

i guess ace 4 3 6 isnt a god lo draw and im a nit???
well player eric, tough beat...u got it in good he needed runner runner
omg i cant stand omaha. sorry not my cups of tea due to suckouts. hard for me to play it. as for ur hand he was destined to call. what were the suits. was he on a flush draw also. u never said. or at least i didnt see it. he could have had many more out if he was on flush draw.
He was ahead on both hands.................
this is a bad beat.
ahead maybe but this is equal to a coinflip in Hold Em. not that bad of a bad beat IMO
Yeah just like i thought the low was a coin flip but of course hes dominated in the hi that was a bad beat but the low was a coin flip.
Poker odds calculator has the hand as
80/20 ahead for the high
55/45 ahead for the lo
well ty i guess what i was saying was i was way ahead for high and had a 20% better chance to win the low then him still a pretty bad beat....i mean he was obviosly DRAWING for a low and i had his low draw crushed he hasta hit the A to take the low from me and hasta hit runnner runner to take any high from me idk how u get 55/45 when he only has 3 outs in the deck
i looked up the odds i was 70% to scoop
Hi odds were 82/18
Lo odds were 55/18
You were ahead both hands hi and lo. and a nice position to scoop. however both of you still needed a card to come for the low, a Ace hits it counterfeits you low and if a Two hit it counterfeits his low. now i think its a coin flip to counterfeit either one of you.
this damn country is filled with counterfeiters...those bastards
You need to take the day off. You don't want to end up stacking off. Some days are just not your day. Whether it is your fault or not.Quote:

There is always going to be another day in online poker to play again. I have trouble doing this but at least I will take a couple of hours to get my head straight before getting back at it. Something to take your mind off of the Omaha hands previously as well. Take your time, think it through.
