5 card omaha

[bobAlike]

You've called to hit the flush so get it in. With more behind I just call but with what you've got behind it all goes in.

Obviously knowing the players makes a huge difference to the play.

100% raise pre-flop (Stu will disagree with me prolly) on the flop this is a totally mandatory fold, this should never be a call, 10x deeper if you had some reads you could consider raising as a bluff but with the stacks as they are calling is the absolute worst play possible you HAVE to fold.

Multi-c ard omaha is a game of big cards/high pairs/nut draws - you have none of these.

Dave is still out drinking after a 48 hour bender ... and still manages to make a fully coherent PHA post!!

I'm just peeling here.

With a view to hitting what on the turn?

Well the T is a key card and gives us loads of combo-draws plus a b/d fd.

In this kind of game early on don't we want to get our ~£80 in multi-way and get a stack?

Even if the turn is a sp our Kxx holding is ever so slightly more likely to be good due to being 3x.

I really don't think that peeling £10 from an £88 stack can be that bad in this spot.

<edit>

I am also 100% raising pre with this hand after limps.

If you are just punting around at the beginning of the game, to get the show on the road etc... well that is a different matter entirely.

I'd also very often raise preflop, and definitely if we are punting around at the beginning of a session.

Turn is the

PA bets £40. Rotund calls. We have. £78 left facing £40 bet

FOLD!

Hi Stu,

Well that is nail on head, because, as I mentioned earlier, we DO splash around (well we do in this game) at the start when we are all sitting very shallow, just to sort of rev the game up.

So at THIS stage, yeah, it's a pure gamble, but later, when sitting deep, we are folding on the flop.

Really pleased Jim posted this, because it proves, if proof were needed, that there is rarely a one size fits all answer to these things.

It would be really neat if you ever found yourself down Luton way, we could have a grand DC session. And no doubt I'd get schooled. Like, you know, proper schooled.

Well as stated earlier i dont think i played this hand very well at all but here comes the reason i posted this hand.

So we have hit our flush. With 78 left and facing a bet and call in front of us obv the ideal situation is that PA is betting with the bare ace and rotund has 2 pr or set.

I decided to just flat call, with only 38 behind decided to see if it pairs the river and no point pushing PA out if he only has the bare ace.

River card comes down  so now thats 4 spades on board and we have 3 spades in our hand.

PA now bets out the pot 160 and rotund quickly calls.

So the decision is now on us what do we do with our remaining 38. 236 in the middle. Can rotund have a flush as well? straight flush is possible for PA now but rotund obv raises if he has it.

[SuuPRlim]

you have the best hand hardly ever but that being said you've come this far lol so i'd never fold, just make em show you it.

Your mistake was on the flop - going all in would have been way way better than calling. Turn and river are just meh you have the second nuts and not much money behind but this is why you shouldnt call the flop
