When you play on Pokerstars. I'm playing a pot limit Omaha tournament. It's the first hand. I'm in seat 9, next to the button. I'm dealt
No raises, we see a flop.
Top two pair. Must watch the flush draw. Someone bets 40, called around and someone raises to 60. I and two others call. Turn comes
. Flush matters not! I've made my full house right? Someone bets out and gets a call, then I raise pot. After some thinking on each person's part they all fold. I show my boat.
As the next hand ends a guy says he folded the nut flush. This hand or last? Nut flush? Why would he fold it? He was in the hand and folded to a small raise. Maybe he meant draw. I ask if he meant this hand or the one where I had a full house? He replied with FH, which I took as "first hand". Maybe he meant "full house", who knows. I told him even if he was on a draw to the nut flush it was no good. He asked me to explain to him where I had a full house. I told him to look at the hand history, I showed the boat. He tells me he doesn't think I know how to play Omaha. I did not have a full house. Someone else chimes in with the same. I'm so confused, now two people say I didn't have a full house.... ?
I start thinking about that popular video of Tony G at the RiverBelle berating his opponent when his
sucked out on the river against the guy's
. He kept talking about how he played it like a set. "Even I thought I had a set. I did have a set!" he said over and over.
So, no amount of convincing was working. My full house had not been one in their eyes. One of them called me a noob. Maybe that was the strategy. Get me so riled up I play bad. It worked. Out of spite I moved in with a set of 9s and an Ace against a guy's rivered wheel to knock myself out. I've gone back and looked at the hand history where it says:
Uncalled bet (540) returned to 5cardmonkey
5cardmonkey collected 540 from pot
5cardmonkey: shows (a full house, Kings full of Aces)
But I'm still not sure I had a full house..

lol
looks like a full house to me
with the board of on the turn:
Then yes, you have a boat.. you use your
I
just kidding.
If people can put you on tilt that easily, maybe you should turn chat off.
Gl
Actullay I think it was a different hand they are talking about and usually FH means full house not first hand. Probably was just a miscommunication that got out of hand. Never let table chatter throw you off your game!! GL!!
I had a "lady" sit in the lobby and scream at me for an hour in
omaha a few nights ago , she had
in her hand
and the board flopped 3 hearts , I had
in my hand and
the
was on the board , well the turn brought a 4 th heart so
she called all the way to the river and then sat there
screaming that I stole half her pot ??? ,she had an Ace high
flush too according to her so we should split it lol ,
tried saying even if she had a flush I had the nut flush , tried explaining it's 2 and 3 from the board so she didn't even
have a Jack high flush , she called me every name in the
book and gave quite a list of things I could go do to
myself lmaoo , I'm female too so half those things aren't even
possible for me to do lmaoo ,
just ignore rude people and take their chips with a smile ,gl
There are people playing Omaha who haven't clued in yet to the fact that unless you have two of a suit in the pocket with three of that same suit on the board, you don't have a flush. Period.
As for your boat, I see it. Full steam ahead.

(Of course, you can have more than two suited cards to a flush in the hole, but only two of them play)
well duh, ya had the full house... but why did you let those guys get to you?
If they really thought you did not have a boat than you were at the perfect table.
