Might sound corny, but it works. For instance, this hand villain most likely has pocket 4s (4 of a kinds happen so much more in Omaha) or 9 with a flush draw. 99 is a possibility, but not the way he is betting

I don't agree with this.

high stakes, shorthanded, is a very different game.

and I totally believe you because you would know and I wouldn't, since I've no first handed experience playing the high stakes

so in saying that, yea, even though I am hella curious as to how two overpairs, no draws is worth a buyin in high stakes shorthanded Omaha without a read, it's best I keep my trap shut till I get up there and keep on lurking this section (done)

The fact that it is hard to call without a 9 here is exactly why many players are going to bluff with pot sized bets that they have the 9. In fact, it can be helpful to do so simply so that you can get paid when you do have the 9.

also - i am not necessarily advocating a call here.

don't get your panties in a wad, jesus christ. he kindly stated that he doesn't agree and didn't even flame you in the slightest bit and you fucking HULK OUT about it...relax.

huh?

I thought my wording might of been totally crap. (in that first sentence especially)

I didn't get offended even in the slightest Myth - seriously
and I wasn't jabbing back or nothing - seems my wording or sentence structure makes me sound like a pompous ass here. I hate coming off that way. I apologize. It's usually someone else's panties that get in a wad - and on the floor

Everything that I said in that post I meant as 100%
Why was I posting in the high stakes section, when I've never played it? Nowhere near it?
The only reason I did, was because I have been playing Omaha recently as well, and have been thinking about posting hands, or some thoughts about it, and then I see someone beat me to it.

But the fact that I'm playing 10 dollar buyin tables, or 25 dollar buyin tables when I play Omaha, I do believe it could be a completely different outlook, and/or way of things
so this isn't really my section to post in - yet
