We are playing Omaha tonight, $1 to $4 spread limit. This is a highly social game filled with shenanigans. The low draws are cursed tonight, we don't have a qualifying low hand for the first hour+.
DrStrange is offering strategy advice for free. Noting that A2 has lost a lot of money so far, but 94xx seems like a solid profit maker (it has). Best advice tonight? Fold A2 preflop.
So Hero picks up
UTG and asks the table what one should do with A2. Several people say fold it - so hero does and everyone else calls. The flop is 
- - Hero thanks the table for the advice, they were right A2 is no good. There is a level of disbelief as might be expected. Hero points to his mucked cards and offers $5 even money that Hero folded A2 - good for only one taker. A little give and take happens, but eventually someone does take the bet and after the hand is over everyone sees Hero did in fact fold A2.
I appreciate that hero's preflop fold was a mistake even getting an extra $5 in prop bet money. But the entertainment value was worth it. (it is a fairly small mistiake because hero's hand is a one way hand. Making a high on those cards isn't going to be easy.)
