Who is the fish? KsQ Ts9 O8, fixed limit. (1 Viewer)

[Chippy McChiperson]

Based on our betting pattern, I would expect villain to call with any low, even if they have just a one pair high hand, "just in case". I don't think we're folding out any high-only hands that have us beat (A33x for example) plus there's a very real chance villain has A4xx in their range and wants to check raise us into oblivion. I think the odds of villain having two worse pair with no low and calling us is worse than us getting a call from a better hand, or worse, getting check-raised.

It's limit O8, unless $4 counts as oblivion. Also unlikely villain is checking having hung in there and drawn to runner runner nut nut.

You could even get a scoop if they fold, they can easily just have had A3xx here and paired their low draw.

Nearly missed the river. Check - call. You have top two. Might be best, might not. Expect to split the pot with low. I know it's all about the bets, but still I would play it so.

 

[Shaggy]

I think its a bet for reasons as stated above. A missed high draw and crappy low may fold.

I'm going to have to try playing some of this fixed limit business sometime. It sounds very different and interesting.

Still betting here

Fixed limit is a very good social game and my structure of choice when playing circus games with inexperienced players. There is a sweet joy to scooping a pot with 100+ chips and getting them all stacked up.

*** Results - or - go figure? ***

Hero bets, expecting to chop most of the time but occasionally get called by a worse high hand. Villain calls and turns over " 7-4" for low and " the wheel for high".

Villain has

River: < >

Hero has

Villain sweeps . . . no idea how she check calls with that hand.

and note that villain called the flop bet holding on flop of < > Pretty funny really.

 

[Kain8]

Blind squirrels and all that.

Following this thread I figured she was going to pop over an A 4. Your title kind of hinted at the result!

Isn't the wheel nut low in O8? You play 2-7 low not A-5?

That's the point he's making in the title. She doesn't know better.

 

[DrStrange]

The wheel is the nut low. Villain just kind of forgot that even though she plays in this game every week for a decade+ {that is something like 500 sessions and she still sometimes can't read the board for low } I can not offer any explanation for why someone with this holding never bets.

Thank you for pointing this out, it could have been played that way.
