Card Night 16-Dec-2008

We at Card Night love to revel in other people’s mistakes.  So here now we present some of the best mistakes of the evening!

On a board of 2-7-8-10-K in Omaha Hi-Lo, with no flush possible, Warren pondered his hand for some time before folding his J-9-x-x.  A jack-high straight.  The absolute nuts for high.

On a hand of Construction, Jason declared both ways, to which Mark DeVol immediately snapped, “That’s a mistake.”  Not only was it not a mistake, but Jason clearly won both ways with a full house for high and a 7-high for low.  Mark needs to do a little less talking and a little more thinking.  (Side note: John called Construction on the very next deal, and Jason scooped again when everyone declared high.)

On a hand of Omaha Hi-Lo, the flop came 9-8-6 all diamonds.  The turn was the queen of diamonds.  The river was another 6.  So, the board ended up being 9-8-6-Q-6 with four diamonds.  During the betting on the river, John folded, and said to Mark, “Boy, that was a whole lot of nothing.  Take a look at my hand.”  Mark picked up John’s folded hand only to see two queens staring back at him.  “John, you had the nut full house!”  John had been so fixated on the possible straight flush on the flop that he failed to see the hand he eventually made.

  1. Great blog. If you’re new to the game or sporting want to get in some practice first you can begin by playing in a unfixed poker room on the site. Thank you for sharing.
