Title: Omaha Hi Hand
Post by: Jinky04 on November 21, 2006, 05:41:40 PM
Hi guys. Just played this hand on the $10 on FT. Down to the last 18 top 6 pay. Before the hand I'm 2nd in chips, average is roughly 4.5K

Full Tilt Poker Game #1281844456: $10 + $1 Tournament (8639442), Table 2 - 50/100 - Pot Limit Omaha - 12:29:07 ET - 2006/11/21
Seat 1: 19ICEMAN79 (1,784)
Seat 2: Coffee2 (5,102)
Seat 3: Jinky04 (9,709)
Seat 4: FordsQueen (1,236)
Seat 5: MadScience (4,104)
Seat 6: moz888 (15,194)
Seat 7: eicheung (9,082)
Seat 8: micky222 (4,048)
Seat 9: mttngly (1,970)
mttngly posts the small blind of 50
19ICEMAN79 posts the big blind of 100
The button is in seat #7
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Jinky04 [Jc Tc Qs 8h]
Coffee2 folds
Jinky04 calls 100   

Ok I'm limping early position, sometimes i would raise but I'm not keen on laying this down with blinds so low.

FordsQueen folds
MadScience raises to 450

This raise immediately screams big pair from this player, hes not shown a pflop raised hand that hasnt included Kings or Aces

moz888 calls 450
eicheung folds
mttngly calls 400
19ICEMAN79 folds
Jinky04 calls 350

I'm closing the action,  autocall.

*** FLOP *** [4d 9h Qh]
mttngly checks
Jinky04 checks

Now I've hit a fairly good flop but I'm not keen betting out as there's half the table to act after me...anyone think this was a mistake?

MadScience bets 1,900

Pot bet, hes definitely got AA in there.

moz888 has 15 seconds left to act
moz888 calls 1,900
mttngly calls 1,520, and is all in
Jinky04 calls 1,900

When the OR came out potting the first time, I was gonna put him in as it was another 1700, but the chip leader flat calling has me spooked.

*** TURN *** [4d 9h Qh] [2s]

Jinky04 checks
MadScience bets 1,754, and is all in

Suprise suprise.
moz888 folds
Jinky04 calls 1,754
MadScience shows [Th As Ah 3d]

mttngly shows [9c 5h Kh 5c]

Jinky04 shows [Jc Tc Qs 8h]

*** RIVER *** [4d 9h Qh 2s] [4c]
MadScience shows two pair, Aces and Fours
Jinky04 shows two pair, Queens and Fours
MadScience wins the side pot (4,648) with two pair, Aces and Fours
mttngly shows two pair, Nines and Fours
MadScience wins the main pot (7,980) with two pair, Aces and Fours
mttngly stands up
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 12,628 Main pot 7,980. Side pot 4,648. | Rake 0
Board: [4d 9h Qh 2s 4c]
Seat 1: 19ICEMAN79 (big blind) folded before the Flop

check then pass on flop - you can lay it down preflop if you like

Standard fold on the flop. You only have 6 outs for the nuts and will probably face a turn bet. Even if you did hit the turn your straghit is extremely vulnerable as a lot of cards change the nuts on the river. The EP limp is 'ok. 'Rraising from EP with anything in Omaha isn't too clever with these stack sizes.

I agree...it's a fold on the flop. your hand is much to vulnerable in this situation.
