Lemme get some practice counting Omaha outs...

4 outs to the 4
3 outs to the 9
4 outs to the T
3 outs to the 6
plus some remote backdoor possibilities

That's 14 good outs to complete a straight, but if the 9 or T falls you could be behind a higher straight. Bah, I have no idea.

Pretty much my sentiments

With position and still a deep enough stack to have implied odds, I call. If we had a shorter stack where we could get closer to all in, I like a raise.

what's your read on his pf raise? HAs he been raising alot to build pots or raising with quality hands?
On the flop his 1/2 pot best tell you what, did he hit trips maybe Jacks? straight draw? over pair or 2 pair?
You have a good draw not great though and would only be badly behind if they had a better straight draw, imho.

The SB was the one who raised preflop, he has checked. The BB was the one who bet out, but the SB is still to act. For this reason, I flat call, hoping that the SB will stay in the hand -- However, if the SB wants to get silly and pulls a check/raise, I'll absolutely get it all in here.

sorry yes I confused sb pf raise with bb bet out. Then I agree call, but might fold if sb check/raises and bb calls, I would think I was up against better draw and a set.

I'd just pop it up here. If he does have one of your draws covered, there's a decent chance that your pair's good and the 1/2 pot bet screams weakness enough that I think you've probably got some pretty reasonable fold equity.
