I play 6 card omaha most nights of the week in a lively dealers choice cash game and i consider it to be more of a game of skill than 4 card omaha
ok the hand : !st thing is the quote " I can't really give him credit for nuts" Thinking like this will only get you into trouble. He has 6 cards in his hands anyone can flop the nuts. If you dont put him on the Jack then the odds are that a player behind you will have it.
The play i make here is to flat call his 15 bet on the flop. He only has 35 remaining and he will put that in on the turn or river. Flat calling allows you to see who else at the table is interested in the pot.
You now discover that Mr deepstack is interested and he wants to raise you. With the pot controlled and you not revealing the complete strength of your hand it will cost you less to see the turn if he does still decide to raise.
You havent told us if mr shortstack calls allin or not.
So we call the smaller raise to see the turn card. We only want to see another jack (very doubtful) 1 of 2 nines or a card 8 or lower
If a lower card comesyou have the option to check or jam. If you Jam the odds are that he has a freeroll on you and he has a good chance of hitting an overcard on the river to scoop your whole stack. Advantages of jamming are that he cant bluff you off the pot on the river if it comes a higher card than the 8 but he still misses.
if you decide to check call you are still controlling the size of the pot as best you can. You get to see the river and then get to make the decision upon seeing the river card.
There is a chance that he has pocket
and is trying to win the pot there and then or that he is building the pot on the draw witth a Jack and lots of overcards. So if the turn and river both come under cards you can now value bet the river and he will prob call due to the size of the pot.
Lots to think about def a huge game of skill. Flopping the nuts aint always easy
