Bet full pot on the turn, bet full pot on the river - keep raising until not allowed to raise anymore - and raise full pot amount.

Riase preflop.
You cant do much wrong postflop with this hand. Sometimes you get paid sometimes you don't. I usually bet heavily to disguise my monster.

No comments on the flop call?
I'm still getting used to the pot bet thing in Omaha, you can tell from the way I played this that I'm a NLHE player. String him along with the flopped monster...
Bud, doesn't checking in the BB help disguise the hand even more? If I raise preflop and then that flop comes, I'm likely not getting a whole lot of action.

I'd have to say with that flop and a $.10 pot you should be happy it got to $3.24. I don't like raising this hand pf in the BB in a 5 way pot. Raise it nearly 100% of the time in CO or Button. Flop play is ok...I'd let as many see the turn as I could. I'd bet more on the turn...at least $.20. On the river I bet at least 3/4's pot. If I get raised, even min raised, I am potting.
It is tough to get paid with this board and I think it was played well.

But you eventually win more money by raising preflop even if you flop a monster cus there will be more money in the pot on flop even if noone calls a bet. By checking you are more likely to win the big blinds only.
does that makes any sense?

Umm, not really. If I had raised PF, everyone would shut down on that flop. But if people don't suspect I'm holding AA or KK, I'm more likely to get action down the road. Though it may be 6 of one, half dozen of the other...

And what hands do you get action from? QQ?
If you raise this preflop and lead strong on flop , they will call down with K2 most of the time thinking you would slowplay a monster.
There aren't many hands that pay you off here. All you can do is do represent a bluff on flop and hope to get called by a king who doesn't believe you.
Don't give much credit to these donks , they love to call , just bet your hands strong and you won't believe the hands they call you with.

What range would you put MP on here? He called small flop and turn bets, and then raises the river on a seemingly harmless card.

I don't know. K7 , K4 , 44 , 77 , AK , AA.
There is only one king left so either MP or Button doesn't have a king. One of them can have Aces or flush draw or AQ or some shit like that.

Aren't we overanalyzing this hand? I mean shit, we're only beaten by AA right, and the guy didn't raise preflop, so we hope he didn't have that. Just keep shovelling money in until Pokerstars won't let you raise anymore. It's 2¢ omaha for god sakes. He could have friggin anything.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!
Obviously nothing I could do to get away from this but I thought I would get some input on how I played it anyway.
