Hello Bear!

In retrospect, of course it was a good raise because you WON!

Maybe a pot bet after the flop would have received a few callers, who may have outdrawn you.

Nice win! Keep up the good work!

~Happy Holidays~

Hello,

how did u finsih in this tourney?

Maybe u should only have called his 200 bet on the Flop ?

And if he bet at the turn just call too.

At the River ALL-IN ( i know im a Donk ),
no matter what the Board is showing beause ur Pot committed at this Point

Happy New Year

Im not a fan of the allin on the flop, but in this case the allin as a semi bluff works fine, and you wont find yourself hoping for that needed out. If you are called, you still have some outs to catch too.

Hi I have to say im not a big fan of limping in first position with that hand, an then on the flop i think the all-in raise is pretty bad, first of all u are not drawing to the nut flush and secondly u dont have a draw to win the low pot in case it comes low low . Also u are only going to get call by hands that will have u drawing to the flush draw and very often when u hit your draw u will win just have of the pot.

Lets call a spade a spade, it was a garbage hand and you got lucky (no disrespect). All I can think of in you winning the hand is that the other players were all on lo card draws. The 7 "dangler" in your hand was useless as a 7 lo is probably not going to win should there be a low hand. The only way the raise is anything like a good bet is if you are drawing to the nuts which you were not.

Yea the reraise all-in on draw I hate. I dont put a lot of stock in flushes in oh anyways just cause the board pairs so much and its alot easier to make a boat in oh than HE. You won yea but with a raise preflop it was very possible for some1 to have floped a set then your drawing to a str8 or flush and praying the board dont pair. I've lost alot of chips with flushes in oh careful with them they are not as strong in oh as they are in nlhe

I would have thown it in the muck pre flop.

It's a gambler's hand in "4O" single suited and 1 ace.....rubbish hand, glad you won with it.

I always ask Myself would I play this hand if the buy-in was $1000.

I love players at my Omaha table who play hands like this I always invite them into the game, and they go on My christmas card list.
