You can play a hand with a 2 and 3 on it without the ace, but, you need a 4,5 or 6 also. AND, you need the flop to have an ace and at least two one more low. <br /><br />SO, hi lo is a folding game. Only reason to learn it is to know what to do when it cycles up at that eight <br />game.<br /><br />akiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083330322113258405.post-29106870596014355432009-06-08T14:49:31.343-07:002009-06-08T14:49:31.343-07:00Question for Loki9: If someone plays using your a...Question for Loki9: If someone plays using your above guidelines, what percent of hands (general range) might they play?Crashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170011539472789212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083330322113258405.post-48491755845056455472009-06-08T14:22:00.643-07:002009-06-08T14:22:00.643-07:00Don't play high only hands for a raise in O8. ...Don't play high only hands for a raise in O8. Ok, maybe play them occasionally, but when the flop comes low, you are in trouble and should be folding or getting to SD as cheaply as possible.<br /><br />In general, don't put the money in unless you can scoop (lest you get scooped).<br /><br />MP had a classic O8 hand. When you get into a big pot, you can expect to see a hand like that one most of the time (nut-low, with nut-high possibilities).<br /><br />I found learning O8 to be cheaper (and maybe faster) playing limit, rather than pot-limit.<br /><br />-Loki9Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083330322113258405.post-58214823565391174572009-06-08T12:57:29.756-07:002009-06-08T12:57:29.756-07:00This probably explains some of my poker losses!
