The second Omaha hand

[peterbirks]

It's probably best if you read the hand below this first, because I expect you to say -- is Birks totaly insane? Raising like that with top-and-bottom two-pair?

Here's a later encounter with jac, which gives you some evidence of what the guy is capable of raising with, and why I played the earlier hand that I posted the way that I did:

Birks: Ad Ts 4h Td

Tracy_Ly folds. barber77 calls. eapoe folds. jacquouille raises to $2.25. JamesScott folds.
TuoppI_ folds. louisfume folds. Birks calls. wakefield folds. barber77 calls.

Yes, the usual suspects:

Flop 2h Th 7c

So, here we go, a board that looks like players will be drawing, and I have top set. Oh, and a renowned aggressive player to bet last. Gimme gimme.

Birks checks. barber77 checks. jacquouille bets $7.25. Birks raises to $29. barber77 folds. jacquouille goes all-in for $40.45. Birks calls.

At least barber had the sense to fold this time :-)

Turn 2h Th 7c 6h

Uh-oh, that probably gives him the flush/

River 2h Th 7c 6h 7d

BUT I DON'T CARE.

Showdown:
jacquouille shows Qh 8s Kh 5h.
jacquouille has Qh Kh 2h Th 6h: flush, king high.
Birks shows Ad Ts 4h Td.
Birks has Ts Td Th 7c 7d: full house, tens full of sevens.

Birks wins $85.15 with full house, tens full of sevens.
