Oh, so close (the return of the poker thread)

EDIT: Nevermind, crosspost

Were you playing Omaha, perchance?

Where do you play?

Not sure what you mean

Some poker games are played for the worst possible hand. The winner is the one with all low cards and no pairs

[Adagio]

I'm playing Texas Hold'Em on pokerroom

[KrazyHorse]

That makes no sense.

You misread your hand. I can guarantee it.

Sounds like a weird game... What's interesting about that?

[KrazyHorse]

It can be a very interesting game...

Wait, thinking back there might be some truth in the type of game played afterall. I remember playing a bit Omaha from time to time back then, might have been it... almost forgot that I played a few games of that type


Thx for the help, now it makes sense

[KrazyHorse]

Personally, I hate it, but there are a lot of people that specialise in it.

One really interesting game is omaha 8 or better

It's an Omaha game where the pot is split between the high hand and the low hand (except the low hand has to be an 8 or better to count, hence the name)

[KrazyHorse]

In Omaha that straight counts too, but it's very easy to misread your hand.

You have to use exactly two of your hole cards, so if you're holding 3 9 10 Q and the board comes A2458 then you do not have a straight. You have nothing.

That's one thing I'm sure about is not the case, since whenever I lose a hand I'm very sure about winning I always checks the winning hand a second time

Ahh, didn't know about that, thx. Does that rule apply for all poker games or just Omaha?

[KrazyHorse]

Just Omaha, and Omaha variants

[KrazyHorse]

In HE you can use none, one or both your hole cards
