SOHE Split Strat: Trips in hand (1 Viewer)

[Jimulacrum]

Best play:

fold pre.

Second place:

My solid showing in the SOHE tourney qualifies me to go with the baby wrap, weak flush draw, and pair:

5c 5s
5h 6d 7s 8h

Keep the nice rundown in Omaha and the pair of 5s in Hold'em as backup strength if you hit big in Omaha.

But really, how many flops are you going to be legitimately happy about with this hand? Maybe 345, 456, and 5-x-x overfulls. Having three 5s wastes a card slot and eats up one of your most favorable outs. Fold basically all the time.

I would put 57s on HE

Only correct play.

What the fuck does this guy know?

I remember this hand. Because you have three fives, I think you need to treat it as a five card hand. Then hope you bink and the other guy takes a flyer on the flop.

I would lean to putting 5s in Holdem if you only had 2 of them, but breaking them up in this case makes sense.
