How to post CoinPoker hands:

Click on hand #number in replayer.

Copy text and remove ante part of first row in hh:

[code]Poker Hand #72306164: Omaha Pot Limit (200/400 ante 80) 2023/04/12 15:51:58 GMT[/code]

Add - after parenthesis. Line should read:

[code]Poker Hand #72306164: Omaha Pot Limit (200/400) - 2023/04/12 15:51:58 GMT[/code]

This works until someone has a 7 figure stack, then you need to edit any number over one mega.

paste hh https://pokeit.co/convert/

The converted hand will say it's from GG, you may edit this too.

For the OCD inclined, search and replace § with $.

Post your nice hand here!

Please use the following options for converting hands:

I was thinking the same. Not sure what's up with this 4bet too...


would it be must rfi too? what happens if sb limps


by RoadtoPro m

would it be must rfi too? what happens if sb limps

yes. first voluntary action starts after the 3b. if sb accidentally open limps, surely they've discussed appropriate repercussions.
