full critique, please. i've never played omaha, so be gentle. :oops:

also, this hand converter doesn't seem to work for me (http://www.zerodivide.cx/converter/). can anyone link me to one that does?

preflop...fine (provided its not an aggressive table)
flop......good and as it turns out you probly have the best hand (since you werent raised)

turn....here's where things get hairy, you made a boat which is good, but you made the low boat. anyopne who had kings up in the flop now has you. tough but it happens......

once you make that low boat you have to proceed cautiously. i may c/c or c/f dependent on who bet into me


my guess is that this guy made Ks full of 9s.


played it ~ok. jsut remember that the low boat is only good sometimes......esp. multi handed and with lots of action.

PF and flop fine.

Turn and river also fine IMO. you made underboat. to beat you, he has to have either KK (unlikely w/ no PF raise) or exactly K9. You have to bet the turn. If youre reraised, its probably time to let go, but just a call means I would bet the river too.

On the river, I think you should put him all in anyway - he's probably gonna push if you bet, after the way he played it, and you didnt seem to be about to fold to a raise, so why not give him the chance to fold? If all his money is likely to end up in the middle anyway, you should be the aggressor - he mightve laid it down without KK. The way he finally woke up on the river makes me think he had something like J 10 and 2 hearts, and made one of his draws on the river...Dunno though... Anyway, I double him up every time here..

He could have KK, K7, K8, or K9, so you have 5th nuts. That said, I call the river raise as pot is too large to fold.

It's hard to believe villain would call a pot bet on the turn with J10 and then raise on the river a straight.

Loose limp UTG pre-flop, but table dependant, I think it is okay (meaning that if the table is not playing a lot of raises pre-flop IMO).

You bet the pot with middle set after the flop, which I like. I don't like getting two callers though.

The turn is where I get confused a lot personally. You have the underfull, so you will only lose to a higher full house. I don't believe you should be giving a free card to anyone holding a king, so I would bet the pot also, and fold to a re-raise depending on the stack sizes. You got one caller to the turn bet, so IMO, unless your opponent is tricky, it tells me that they have either a king bare (meaning they don't have a 9 or an 8 as well in their hand), or pocket 8's.

The river may have given your opponent a better full house (K 7), but I believe you have to call the raise. A better play may be to just check the river, and call a bet. By putting in a bet yourself, you are not going to get lesser hands to call you for the most part, but by checking, you may entice a lesser hand to make a bet, giving you more money in the long run I think.
