Aren't we either way behind or going for a chop on this turn?
Double flush draw board with a re-raiser. I lean towards a fold on turn.
I may also lead-bluff this river against tight opponents since our turn call seems like we are also on a flush draw.

These hands are all from a single session of HA on FullTilt where you play 10 hands of PLHE then 10 hands of PLO. The great thing is, people don't adapt between the two, so I feel I always have a good edge over the game. Some can play holdem but don't understand Omaha, and some can play omaha but don't adapt well to holdem. Mostly you get HE players wanting to play Omaha but not wanting to fully commit to the game.
I should have folded the turn, but I don't think he would even fold Q9 to a river bet, unless I bet pot. Even then I would probably be called by AQ most of the time.

This is how I got my stack. This was quite clearly an omaha player who was playing far too LAG loose during the PLHE round:

I knew I was behind when he called the turn shove. He had to have at least AQ. Except he didn't.

I should seriously check these HA games on FT, Even i would fold that flop. Hows the traffic on low limit games?

Curretluy there are 5646 players on the site and there are two 6max games going - one at 5c/10c and one at $1/$2. In an evening the traffic is much better. Currently there is noone at all playing full ring $2/$4 LHE, and there are fairly few players playing PLO, so the site is pretty dead all-round.

Oh i see. Stars is the unquestionable leader now then.
You may want to check Crypto. Only 2500 online players now but lotsa low limit PLO games right now running 3 100PLO and 4 25PLO. Double it at evenings. Plus the %32 rakeback and up to 300$ monthly bonus draws lots of weak-tight fish and nutpeddlers to the tables.

I think FullTilt is catching up, but Stars is clearly the biggest. FT has over 50k players at peak times though.
