Omaha Cash - Did I Play This Right?

[Junior Senior]

Playing $2.5-$5 on Billy Hills.  Table is full (10 handed) and i have least amount of dough on the table with $235.  Most have around $400 and one guy has $1200.  I am in the BB with the following hand 

There have been 5 limpers so far so I decide to raise the pot ($35) hoping to thin the field, feeling i can get in a big enough raise to get a few players out of the way.. .... it worked!, they all call! 


The flop is   

Not wanting to mess around and get cute (this is omaha after all) I bet out for the full pot ($170ish), this puts me pretty much all-in.  One guy moves all-in behind me, the others fold and we are heads up.

Q.) Have I played this right? - could i have played it different? played it slower?  thoughts pls.......




Now read on for a cunningly disguised bad beat story.......


He calls with   

"Magic" - i think unitl it comes runner f**king runner for the straight! - ouch and goodnight.

My tip is reload before the hand!

Other than that i play the same as you pre flop, on the flop you are not getting rid of the wrap anyway and with a 3 tone board no flush danger so i might bet a little less so someone with 2 pair pushes thinking i am putting in a feeler bet with AA. Full pot however is a damn fine bet ;-)

How does he make the straight?

modified my post - i had the flop wrong.

it came 8-9 on turn and river

I'd do the same both before the flop and on it. You are just unlucky.

with that flop i think i push as you might get a small str8 draw or miniwrap off it.

wrap draws smaller sets even 2 pair all call u here, heck i've seen KK call here b4. I pot the flop for the rest of your stack too...

You get called by a great hand! needs runner runner to win which he hit....tis ul but a fine spot to have your money in.

Bad luck m8, ride those variance waves. Respect to anyone who plays omaha cash a lot as the variance can be extreme ( at least in my experience!)

Spots like this are golden, you are often not in such good shape when your chips hit the middle.

In Omaha I don't raise preflop to 'thin the field'. I raise to build a pot and this should most of the time be your reason. Imo Omaha is a post flop game and you will nearly always need to improve your hand.

That said, of course you did nothing wrong and were unlucky.

I do agree with flushie though and I would have reloaded before the hand. If you have idiots like that at your table calling big bets, then you must maximise your winning hands which will be more often than you get beat, if you keep getting em in with situations like that. In that situation he was a mile behind, but another time you may not have enough back to push an opponent off a big drawing hand.

thanks, and yes just UL  - i couldn't ask for mush more of an edge in this coup - 93% fav on the flop to be precise!! - just checked it out on cardplayer's omaha calculator.

of course you played it right mate...

there is rarely a situation in omaha when your all in as a 93% favourite!
