nrs02004 0 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Ok, so I'm dealt Ad 10d 3c 4c in the big blind. 8 people limp in (everyone except for UTG), and I check.The flop comes Ah 2h 5c. Sb checks, Do I want to bet the pot here? or try for a c/r. Say I bet the pot, get 2 callers (not the sb) and the turn is the 6 of hearts.At this point do I slow down for fear of being quartered, or do I assume that no1 else is playing the 3,4?(sorry if these questions are retarded, but when it comes to PLO8 I am retarded, or at least very bad).

Smasharoo 0 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Check/fold the flop.If it gets checked around and you still have the nut high on the turn, take a shot at the pot. Fold if you're raised. Obviously bet the river if your wheel is still good both ways.Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites
ahosang 0 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 The turn killed you. Generally speaking, don't bet or call bets in Omaha hi-lo without a strong hi holding. Maybe a small profit in a loose limit game with many callers, but it's not a good habit generally. Note that your high can't improve past any other wheel holder, so you're vulnerable.

Rocketwadster 0 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 You don't really have any other way to improve your hand from what it is at currently, so you are vulnerable here. It all comes down to the pot odds as to how to proceed. If you get quartered, you need at least 4X a smuch money as you have in the pot (implied money in the pot can also be considered, but be carefull) just to break even. 8) Link to post Share on other sites

ahosang 0 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Check/fold the flop.Why check fold the flop? sorry i'm confusedYou are vulnerable to hands like 2234, 3456, Ah3h4x etc - you have no redraws. Link to post Share on other sites
Smasharoo 0 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 Why check fold the flop? sorry i'm confusedBecause you're ussually way, way, behind if someone bets this flop and you're out of position.Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites
mkeller3086 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 way behind as in someone has the same nut low with either a heart draw, redraw to a better straight, or a set that could fill? Link to post Share on other sites
Smasharoo 0 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 way behind as in someone has the same nut low with either a heart draw, redraw to a better straight, or a set that could fillYeah, or a wrap or whatever.You have no high redraws, and while you have a low that's ussually clean, when it's not you get freerolled for a lot of chips on the flop and turn by someone who does, and who's in position making the bot big.Good luck.
