UTG is a decent player. All i thought was what if he-repots turn?

I tried to keep the pot on a callable size for river.

Did i play it too weak?

I'm betting this turn. If villain knows how to play omaha, he's not risking giving away a free card here with the nut flush.

Also, by checking this turn you give villain a free card to out draw you with.

yeah. bet the turn. about $16.

villian could be playing safe too. might have flopped top 2 or 3 nines.

don't you hate it when the best hand screams that you are drawing to one out?




job well done, but why would you try to keep the pot small?



you be the judge, but if you are only going to bet w/ the stone nuts a decent player will crush you.

some thoughts on this hand:
preflop raise works perfectly and you get the button
you flop a monster
you slow down when the draw hits

against a solid player i'm a little less likely to bet this turn than if the 3s rolls off as he is more likely to have the A flush. the only time i would consider slowing down (betting 1/2 pot) on the turn is if he's super creative and can really push bluff the naked Ks.

sorry for the rambling but i think you get the jist.

bud, transfer to stars so we can play together.

Yeah i get it cheers.

As you can see i am still learning the game and playing small stakes so i have to keep chasing bonuses and getting rakeback. I am planning to transfer to stars when i have the safe bankroll for $100PLO. Why don't you transfer to Crypto? There are Plenty of omaha games on Crypto.

Do you primarily play full ring omaha? I've seen that most of your posts are the in the FR variety.

I find that you can learn faster by playing 6 max. I feel my game (still pretty bad) has gotten better since staying away from full ring omaha.

oh yeah, and

MULTIPASS! (bring back the milla jovovich avatar)

As you wish!

Yeah i play FR Omaha mostly. I know the fish is mostly at SH but there are only FR games on crypto. There are SH tables for $200PLO and above. I feel very comfortable playing at Crypto as well. Once i moved to Stars like 2-3 Months ago , it was a disaster. So i don't plan moving to another site without a solid bankroll.

You could always give UB (where i'm donking at currently), absolute or fulltilt a try.

Does UB have rakeback?

not sure. i've been too lazy to find out.

It sure does.
