No Bingo Table

Tks, but I play hi/low omaha and have never seen fixed. I play daily (it’s my “fix”). There are so many of us who put up with the bingo’s but hate it. I leave & start a new table when table gets overwhelmed. But they soon show up there too. As you probably know, there are very very few starting hands to go “all in” with in hi/low omaha (AA23 AA24, A234, AA23, AA25, AA35 all double or single-suited.

But the bingo’s go all-in garbage hands. They play for the thrill of upsetting others imho. They ruin good games. In the 15 months since I joined, it grows worse.

Sure wish RP would give them their own bingo tables & allow those who respect the game to play it. No one is perfect of course, but deliberate pre-flop all-in repeatedly is not omaha. Tks for letting me share…

Y’all are looking at this wrong. People going all-in preflop with a disproportionate amount of hands are the best! Seek them out! You have someone playing badly, making obvious strategic mistakes. This is your opportunity to exploit their mistakes.

Sit back, let them take a few blinds, keep your own stack relatively topped off (so that when you win you get the max), and when you get a decent hand call the all-in and play along with them. You’ve got a hand that beats 2 random cards 60-80% of the time…you just have to embrace the variance.

You may very well get stacked a couple times when they suck out or happen to have a good hand, but if you can’t afford to get stacked a couple times you’re not managing your bankroll well and should move down in stakes (if it’s 1-2, I can’t help you, other than the site reloading you).

If they are going all-in every hand (2 random cards), and you play hands that are in the top 10-20% you will come out ahead in the long run, so long as you understand and accept the variance. For example, if you play 77+,A9s+,A5s,KTs+,QTs+,JTs,ATo+,KTo+,QJo that’s about 15% of hands and you should win 65% vs 35% for the villain playing 2 random cards. That’s almost 2:1 in your favor. If they are only doing it on occasion, but more than they should, tighten up and do it with the top 10% (77+, all suited broadways, AJo+, KQo). That still beats someone shoving 1 out of 3 hands better than 60% of the time

It’s best if you can sit directly on their left so you’re almost always in position, but even if you play out of position, just make sure you limp-fold a hand every once in a while (so they don’t immediately shut
down whenever you limp with a good hand) and call them down.

This is the one case where you should be limping. Don’t bet into them because they may shut down if they think your strength means you’re going to call them with the goods. As the saying goes, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

Soon enough this player will give away all their chips if they don’t change their play. You want to be on the receiving end when they do as much as possible.

Once they lose all their chips you can go back to your friendly game of limpypoo-let’s-have-7-players-see-a-flop.

.I’m talking about players who go all-in PREFLOP. All-in after the flop is great. But I don’t do it pre-flop unless in a tournament with the above playing hands. Tks for your thoughts!

If you think I only raise a monster, it makes it easy to bluff you while saying I never bluff. Since Casinos take a percentage of every dollar bet, they want you to over bet your hand while saying, “you really know how to control the table with your betting.” and they will pay you to write that in a book.

Your welcome :hugs:

If you start bluffing back a lot then I’ll just wait for a hand then move in on you when I have one…fish don’t like to fold once they put money in the pot so I’ll bust you :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Top Pro’s like Phil Hellmuth, Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu, ect. all play like that (aggressively not limp any two cards and pray we hit the flop so we can donk bet) - I’ll take their advice over a fish calling station any day. Let me know when you win a WSOP bracelet with your limp in and donk bet bluff strategy :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yeah. Phil Helmuth. Bad example for anything. These guys play with corporate posted money. Why not shove all in?

Plus a lot are guys with what…1 billion chips? Yeah go ahead and wait until he makes a mistake…riiiight! Also, any preflop betting in Omaha I think is very dumb. So great you have AA22… go ahead and go all in… some suckout will get the FH. Too variable.

Well you can read, but little else as you totally misunderstood what I said. Despite your pretentions to being a top pro you are too predictable and would be an easy mark. Until you want to sit down at a table with me with real money, Hasta la vesta baby.

Want to discourage bingo betters?
Slow the play.
Wait out the clock on each bet.
If everyone did that, the bingo players would get bored and go away.

It’s no limit hold’em! Try fixed limit or pot limit hold’em.

I have played on Replay Poker for more than 3 years and I have never encountered a bingo player.

If opponents are making large inappropriate raises preflop, then you need to just pick your spot and get your chips in and hopefully you can double up through them. Often such players are much less willing to call with garbage hands, so if you are in the pot before them, the advantage is to you. But with such a player in a pot, you might want to avoid making an opening raise if you are not prepared to play for your whole stack against a wide range of hands.

In my opinion far too many players on Replay Poker adopt a strategy of limp-call from early positions with weak hands hoping to see a good flop and get lucky, and large pots can be won by forcing multiple limp-callers to fold pre-flop, because it is not worthwhile to call off a large percentage of their stack with a garbage hand.
