overplaying the nuts (plo)


Recommended Posts

Bodog .25/.50 PLO (9-handed)Cobalt is BB w/ 4 :club: J :D J :) 3 :). MP1 is a donkey.Pre-flop:UTG calls, Cobalt checksFlop ($3): 5 :D 2 :D A :) (5 players)Cobalt bets $1.50Turn ($26): Q :) (2 players)Cobalt bets $26River ($79): 9 :) (2 players)Cobalt bets $15Final Pot: $107Kind of an unusual straight to hit in Omaha. I know there are some situations where we should check/fold the nut straight being OOP w/o redraws. With my flush redraw, I'm thinking that's incorrect here. What's my best line here on the flop though? Check/call? Check/raise? When he min-raises me, I suspect that he's flush drawing (especially when he just calls my re-raise), so I'm hoping to charge him. Might it have been better to wait for a safe turn?

i bet out and then call the min raise, pot a safe turn
I'm not sure this is right, it seems to me that just keeping your foot on the gas (as OP did) is the best play. By just calling the flop, you might only make ten bucks on the turn and that's it (villain wouldn't necessarily have called the river bet, depending on what he had). As it was played, OP won his whole stack.
