5 card omaha

[77dave]

Playing a 2/2 dc game, early on in the night so not sitting deep

5 card omaha is picked table is full 8 handed

couple limpers round to us and we have      . We call the 2.

Button is a very tough omaha player life and online. He checks as does the BB

Flop comes 

BB checks, 1st limper bets 10 2nd limper calls.

We are playing 88 behind, whats our play?

[The Camel]

Fold?

[Karabiner]

I'm just peeling here.

I'm just peeling here.

10 times deeper I'd peel obv

[Honeybadger]

Clear fold... FWIW Camel, this would be an even clearer fold with 10 times deeper money.

[doubleup]

I'm just peeling here.

With a view to hitting what on the turn?

8 out of 10 I think I have to fold here. There's only 1 of 3 cards (J J As) that you really want to see. If you turn the flush or a straight draw are you prepared to put the rest of your chips in?

2 out of 10 I'm calling depending on how long I've been playing and whether I fancy a gamble to recover some losses.

Any decent nit folds here.

Except that........in the early stages of this particular game, (& readless) when everyone sits very shallow, we do tend to say "to hell with it, I only have £100 behind, let's gamble".

I actually think, as played, I'm folding whatever stage of the game, but definitely late on, when we are all sitting with a lot of cash on the Table.

Who were the other players in the hand, Jim? There are a few who I'd call.

What a playerrrrrr

Player that leads the flop is an old school pro, im sure that you and Keith will of know him for many years Mr P.A.   The caller is a rotund millionaire spewtard.

[tikay]

Ahh, I see.....

Well that complicates it.

PA is almost certainly at it, I  may have to accommodate him. I really enjoy playing with him, actually.

Not sure if I know the rotund millionaire?

Glad you posted this Jim, more of the same please.

By the way I don't think I play this hand very well I have posted it due to the dynamic it played out in.

Yes, I make a bad play and call the flop.

Their are a lot of good draw cards for us on the turn. Anything from an 8 to a king looks good for us. Diamond might be good. Spade we need to see what happens with the action.

Yes, I much prefer NOT to hit our spade.

So are we playing this like a bluff (with backup plan of hitting a jack or As and getting paid), on the basis that:

1.PA is "at it" and will fold if we show strength on turn and river; and
2. Rotund millionaire (who looked as though he had been poured into his clothes but had forgotten to say 'when'*) is drawing and so we can bet him off his hand if no spade comes

?

*sorry. Just reminded me of something PG Wodehouse would have written

[77dave]

Turn is the

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

At this point, stick it in. I'd fold the flop though
