Pair
Not really a strategy thread, because the few decisions made were pretty much the only reasonable ones, but had to share this hand I was just in on PStars.
Omaha tournament... 25 players left of 60, top 15 paid. Blinds at 200/400. Just joined the table so no read on anyone.
UTG folds. Woman A and Man C limp in; Woman A is All In. Man F folds. Villain (high stack at the table with just over 11K), who has the button, raises to 800. Man B, the small blind goes all in with his remaining 395 stack (desperation play, I assume). Hero, the big blind with 2650 remaining, looks at
and calls.
Flop is
.
Man C limps in. Villain raises to 2800. Hero, looking at a straight flush, calls for All In. Man C thinks a bit and folds, preserving his remaining 5950 stack. Four players all in.
Villain turns over
.
Damndest thing I ever saw. Would have been epic if the stacks were bigger.
(I was not Hero; I was Man C. I had
.)
