I'm a donkey, right?

Nut flush and a low straight draw. Should I have folded? I really wanted to. I was worried about the high wrap.

First of all, preflop:

csipcsup: calls $0.50
csipcsup: shows [:Jc: ]
csipcsup loses $47.70

Confucious say, "man who limps from EP with hands like these, deserve to lose".


Seriously, your flop play is very aggressive, which I condone based on your straight draw to go with the flush draw. Of course, you could make a straight and still lose, but I think the flush draw is good backup. As it were, the turn brings you a low draw as well.

It's a risky move on your part, but it pays off.

I was hoping to be up against a set because of this. A high wrap with spade blockers has me in bad shape. I'm ok with putting my money in the pot when I think I have the best hand though. I reread the SS2 Omaha chapter and I think this is one of those hands where both players would play the same way if they knew what the other guy had.

As it were, the turn brings you a low draw as well.

I'm not smart enough to play that crazy hi/low stuff.

Famous last words.
