Hi.

Villain(OOP): A Q K 10:diamond:

Me(Middle postion): A J 10:diamond: 8

baDONKaDONK(on the btn): ??? Did not see his hand, he called with anything though, top pair was worthy of calling two streets with.

FLOP:

Q 9 4

I pot bet, semi bluff.

Both call.

Turn:

K
I hit my straight, I pot bet.

They both call.

River: 2 giving Villain a flush.
He checks.
Do I bet or check?
Betting practicly puts me all in. or at least commited if he re-raises me.
baDonkaDonk is virtually all in al ready. And im not worried at all about him.

I bet this river, seeing it as a value type bet thinking that he couldn't have hit a backdoor flush, but that alone was probably stupid thinking about me.
Did I do anything wrong or was it just simply a stupid bet? Knowing that the board can change quickly in Omaha.

Thanks on your Input.

Since we know villain has a flush, we should check.

Welcome to the omaha forum. Please post only your hand and the action, as well as any reads or stats you have on the opponent(s) in question. You'll get much better results that way.

As for your hand, I prob check and show it down

If villain checks and you aren't afraid of button because of his short stack I would go ahead and check as well. You have showdown value. Villain would have to be pretty bad to call with anything that you beat when you have shown strength the entire hand. If you check, badonkadonk shoves his shortstack, and villain comes over the top of him you can be pretty sure your str8 is no good.

bdc30: okay, will post that way in the future.

thank you for your input

Also one thing just to make sure my way of playing is atleast decent. His call on the flop out of position with top pair is a really bad call right? Even if he has alot of backdoor draws I personally thought of it as really bad call.
Cause I fold those situations like 95% of the time.

As a general rule, yes, it was a bad call. If you raise 80% of the time and C-bet 100% of the time then no it was not a bad call with tp, inside straight draw, and backdoor nfd. Nothing wrong with you folding 95% of the time on those flops. We appreciate that

"We" as in we who are good and can easily steal pots then or "we" as in the forum.. hehe:P

Okay, then his call was definitely bad, thanks for validating that.

Probably my biggest weak point in poker is that doubt my plays sometimes, and go over the hand in my head over over just trying to figure out what I did wrong, when I'm in that mode I tend to pay less attention, resulting in worse play obviously. ^^,

Well Thanks once again.

Gotta start using this forum more
Instead of just checkin' it out like once a week.
