With 9 6 and 10 9 being the only draws out there and 2 to act behind you i am not leading this turn. I think checking is better than betting something like 7 and showing weakness.

Yeah, you can see that I'm struggling to find significant or interesting hands in my database.I've posted pretty much every action hand there was where there can be any discussion at all on the play.

Still any hand posted is better than no hands posted.I wish more people were checking this forum more frequently.

Yeah. Unfortunately Omaha is generally a European game and this is a mostly American/Canadian forum. I think the Omaha and the O8b forums could be merged, considering how little traffic there is. It would encourage some of the O8b posters to discuss Omaha hands and vice versa.

We can contact a mod about this.Unfortunately i don't know any.

I know that Zach and DDIDM (I didn't know he posted much in strat, but whatever) have drawn up some blueprints for improving and cleaning up the strategy forums.
