New Donkey Corral: 25c O8B

Don't usually play Omaha hi/lo, but I add it into the mix for occasional variety. You need some real donkeys at the table to make any money; if everyone there is at least half-decent then there's really no edge at all. You'll end up heads up a lot and splitting the pot. But this table was filled with live ones, committing some classic mistakes of the game:

• Calling pot-sized bets after the flop drawing to the lo only, with no reasonable hi or hi draw. This is one of the dumbest plays in poker.
  
• Raising preflop with aces and kings, and then overplaying them after the flop (see chat below, when I slowplayed flopped trips against an obvious preflop big pair).
• Overestimating fold equity. There are so many draws in O8B, when someone bets the pot on the flop, coming over the top bluffing air is -EV of almost infinite magnitude. I felted a guy in a $50 pot when he tried it.
  
• Calling 3- and 4-bets preflop with cards that are good only for hi or lo hands. You're putting a lot of money in before you have any idea of how the hand will develop.
  

This was a nothing hand at 25c O8B, not sure why he was pissed...
