button aint bad, nobody else looks at their cards

fwiw i dont think him blasting the flop means it hit him in any significant way though, hes pushing here no matter what.

I'm just really starting to study this game so I'm interested in hearing some comments on the above hand.

Is a call better because the Hero is playing for half the pot and may end up being counterfeited or quartering the pot?

OR

Is the pot size raise the right move in hopes of chasing out the other two hands?

ALSO

Would it be a good call by either the BB or UTG+1 if they had the nut flush draw?

DM, we definitely are playing for more than half the pot here.

Our KK might be good for high, as is, but we also have the wheel draw to go along with our nut low.

Some counterfeit protection would be nice though, for that low.

my problem with just calling there is that it gives somebody about 3 to 1 to draw at all sorts of stuff that i don't want them drawing to.

Did I miss something? I don't see any indication in this hand history that we're playing Hi/Lo.

no you didn't.

but common, do you really think I raise that flop like that in omaha, give me some credit!?!?!

There's that, and there's that this is a hi/lo forum. I was really just wondering if the converter drops that info or what the deal is. There's plenty of context here, but I did a double take when I read it since it appears to be a Hi hand.

I don't think that particular converter puts the "Hi-Lo" part for whatever reason.
