$5/$10 omaha hi/lo, six-handed

button with A A 9 3 .
folds to me, i raise, SB folds, BB three-bets, i cap, BB calls.

not a solid read, but BB seems to know what he's doing, at least a little bit.

(8 SB) 10 8 5
BB checks, i bet, BB calls.

(5 BB) A
BB checks, i bet, BB calls.

if the board pairs, i'm capping fearlessly on the river.
if a club or spade lands, i'll check if checked to and call a bet if bet to.

good/bad?

Without reads it looks good.

HU, some players bet their flush draws out-of-position if they have other things going for them (ok to good low draw, pair/2pair), so you might bet a club river if checked to. The problem is the cap pre-flop muddies reads of post-flop play, since a naked flush draw probably would call down.

You have to bet the flop. Turn is an easy bet.

Hi.

Why would you do this when you're getting hald the pot most of the time anyway.

You're going to split most of the time, but If he three-bets or check raises a paired river, it's slightly more likely he has a boat and no low (you win his half) than he has quads (you lose your half). I say put in more bets. By this point, too, the rake should be capped, so that's not a consideration.

i guess rake might be an issue, but if you are almost freerolling for the whole pot, why not cap?

Besides that, to make people to think that I am over-aggressive, stupid, moron... so to extract more values later hands.

yeah, you likely have 0 outs to scoop. maybe a 2 will counterfeit villain's low. i'm check/calling this river.

There is abolutely no harm in capping this river if the board pairs IMO. Rake will not be a consideration at that point of the hand. Worst you can do is win half, but hte best you can do is win it all, plus there is a very remote outside possibility that a non-nut low would fold on the river. 8)
