I don't have much PL Omaha Hi/Lo experience, especially not heads up

blinds 1/2, pot limit
I've got ~180, opponent (a friend) has ~120

I'm SB with Kc 7h: 7d 2c
I raise to 5 pre-flop (which the button has been doing in ~90% of hands), BB calls

flop:
Kh 7s 6s
BB bets 10
I raise to 35 (I figure I'm only losing to KK for the high and I've got a K so that's unlikely)
BB makes a pot-sized all-in re-raise (so it's 80 more for me to call)


I called it and he turned over Ks 5 s 4h 3c
A 4 came on the turn and he scooped the pot

Do I make the call there where I assume he has a low draw and probably a good high draw as well? Turns out I was a 2-1 underdog after the flop

call on flop (don't reraise), fold on turn

You do not want to make a big pot with such a vulnerable hand

This is a good point. Middle set with no other possibilities is not good. You should only push when your high hand is less vulerable...(i.e. made boat on turn) Since you raised though....folding to the push is probably good...unless your friend is clueless about the game.

But you are playign Hi/Lo - and there is probably going to be a low which you are not going to win. If a low card comes on the turn, then there are loads of freerolls that can screw you.

Easy fold (to the first bet).
