BigLebowski 0 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 No. If you don't have a draw to a higher straight then maybe, but I fold this flop nearly zero percent of the time. If anything you could flat call on the flop to see what the turn brings since you close the action. I don't see myself just calling this flop though. Link to post Share on other sites
jmbreslin 0 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Lebowski, are you suggesting that if Hero only held the TJ here and had no draws to a better hand, folding this flop might be the right move?I'm still having a hard time getting my head around when it's appropriate to fold the nuts...

KoRnholio 2 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Never fold here. To fold the nuts in Omaha you need very deep stacks (at least relative to the size of the preflop pot) and opponents who won't commit their stack with crap. With the preflop raise and this being $5 PLO, neither of these apply.Also, UTG is a shorty who could have almost any 2 cards here. So really we are just in for a stack heads up against MP.

bdc30 0 Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 No. If you don't have a draw to a higher straight then maybe,and don't forget the backdoor nut flush draw. Nothing like freerolling a guy who has the same straight as us but no suits. Link to post Share on other sites
