This is where my inexpierence comes to play. Should I bet the draw on the flop? It seems even when I have a great draw I dont usually get it, but should I fake it until I make it? In holdem I know the answer but Ohmaha is a new beast all together for me

draw???

you have trips with an ace kicker. even if he has a boat you have a backdoor low and two overs that you can hit to beat his boat.

oh you mean the flush draw, that just adds to it.

get silly on that flop.

crazy silly. get up out of your chair, do a dance on the floor then on the felt. then bet all your chips right in front of you (like right in front of your stack) because you know they're coming back.

Bet the flop. you=good hand.

Would anyone raise preflop? Why, or why not?

i don't raise preflop. everyone else in this forum does.

why: because i suck and they are good. really, it's because i don't have the balls to pull the trigger.

raise preflop because you are doublesuited, have 3 broadway cards, and have A2. this hand scoops a LOT HU, so thinning the field is a good thing. moreover, there aren't a lot of flops that don't hit you pretty hard.

as for the flop and beyond, you are capping every street except maybe the river depending on how the action goes.

OK guys...

Raise preflop!!! Why? You have POSITION and a very good hand both ways against a full table. You want to build a pot.

Bet flop. No brainer.

Pretty much get silly on every street. This isn't a difficult hand to play at all to be honest.

You left a lot of money on the table.
