And the answer is. My reads on these two players. was button had nothing. was pushing with any two cards because only 2 maybe one if I didnt call to beat. BB I knew would call no matter what. BB was a very bad player or at least playing very bad this game. I have seen him push someone out of a pot with a player all in and lose when all he had was a draw. he frustrated me to no end. now the other part was in a tournament just before this same thing came up where a guy bet out with a player all in and I felt I should of called due to his play. and I would of knocked the player out but since I folded the all in won. I dont want them getting more chips. blinds are getting high, and Im gonna have to hope the giant stack two to my left folds to my tiny stack. where as the people to my left would all have enough to steal from me. I felt I was in the wrong seat to be even to or that bad off with chips. so next thing that went through my mind, he has hit second pair. he wants me out and dont want me catching something better or he would check it down. so that leaves me with hitting a A or a 6 or a 5 for the straight. I think that puts it at 40% roughly. or get real lucky and hit runner runner flush. they are both in so I can end this long ass sng right now. so I gambled. If I lose I can still push and pick the blinds up one and im right back in it. or I can enter anoher one and win my money back lol

i got to know how far off i was
i would have folded. im sure the runner runner straight flush came out knowing you eddie
Well I like these especially the omaha ones when I can find one that gets filled up and the thing that amazes me is a lot of people don't get the strategy of them ,
the big stacks should be the ones in there every hand shoving the small stacks around and trying to bust them out
it's eliminate 5 people and you win , certain players seem stuck on having the most chips so they don't use their stack to get other players out which is the point of these games ,
in this case with your stack I would have probably folded preflop and let the 2 smaller stacks argue it out , gl
Actually call because ur majorly Shortstacked and they call an all in they probably have overs it is double or nothing
FOLD UNLESS IT WAS PLAY CHIPS. WHAT DID U DO?
I would just fold and keep 1272 to keep playing... but if you do call and win the game would be over... but it looks like you need the 5 for that to happen.
a) I would have folded pre-flop
b) Indo should be checking it down
c) Fold
You are a Big Stack...so I know you called, yelled at the top of your lungs "Come Get Some baby" and won with a str8. Didn't you?
