tsimon 0 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 In Daniel's description of this Omaha H/L hand, he states that on the river "With the nuts straight and the naked Ace of spades, the BB raised". My question is, what is the significance of having the naked Ace of Spades? Is it because the raise can work as a bluff, because the other person might put him on the nut flush? Or is it because he knows that the other person does not have a flush because in Omaha, it is not likely that the other person would have called the bet on the turn without the NUT flush draw? Or is it something else all together?I'm not an Omaha player, so I don't really understand all the ins and outs of the strategy here. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Holding the naked ace of a flush draw is one of the few times a bluff will work in Omaha. Link to post Share on other sites
