Dejections

Four eight is an interesting poker online hand to see people play, in that on its face it appears to be total garbage, and yet in certain situations it can be milked. I say this in extreme context, as certainly you’d never want to put much money at risk with a hand of this nature, and it would require a very specific and limited sort of scenario where this kind of hand could actually make money beyond the realms of pure brute force.

When you play a hand like 4 8 there are very few flops you can hope to see. Even flopping a straight with a board of 5 6 7 is suspect in that it remains vulnerable to more commonly played online poker hands like 8 9. In a situation like that you are going to lose all of your money. So essentially you are looking to flop a full house, at least trips, which is still also vulnerable in that better kickers and better full houses will also lose you all of your money.

When you do happen to flop major though, and you can go forth under the premise that your opponent doesn’t have one of those brain crushers, you can almost guarantee any bigger hand is going to pay you well, because it’s just not going to ever seem like you have anything. Still, this is all within the context of donkey logic, and better to just fold and wait for something more substantial, but still, we can prospect, can we not? Remember this when you’re visiting a casino online.
