If you like flipping coins for stacks, I guess.
You're never a huge underdog at this point in the hand,
but you're probably not ahead with your Kings right now.
You sir, have some gamboooooool in ya!

You have a flush draw and nothing else. You are against a straight and/or a set, neither of which are good for you. He could also have a flush draw to give you less outs. You have somewhere near 0 fold equity with a push. I fold when he repots the flop.

Yea you can get away from this hand pretty cheap.

And keep in mind there is nothing wrong with folding the best hand once a while.These donks will throw their money at you when it is %80 %20 why push with this small edge?
Mattnxtc
eh...i pushed b/c im not that good at omaha basically haha...and he did show the flopped straight and i hit the flush on the turn for some good money..say you are drawing to the nut flush in types of hands like this how aggressive should you be?
BudBundy
its usually the math here.if you have the odds call.they won't have the nuts on that flop all the time too.sometimes someone will try to bluff or think their top two is good which gives you extra outs.

this is fine on a not connected board, but here its a losing play. as was said, you have 0 fold equity, and it's a heads up pot. the best case scenario with him having 2 pair still leaves you as a marginal favourite. this will never be where your edge is in omaha, so look for those optimum situations. look to control the pot size here on the flop with your bet - remember if he is calling that flop bet you are almost certainly behind, so you don't really gain anything at all from it. check and try to make your flush, or maybe induce a bluff. that said, after being successful on the hand, use the image to your advantage and start raising some more hidden hands. A2 is going broke to you on this kind of hand if you make top straight.

I don't see how pushing this is helping us. I just can't see CO folding after putting the raise. And I can't see us calling the raise with just a flush draw, because most likely the king's aren't ahead right now.
