Omaha HI/LO

A difficult one.
After this flop you can still have the best hand.
But there is a turn and river to come.
So two pair, sets, flush on turn or river beats you.
If you have the action; Raise small to see how your hand is.
If there is a big raise in front of you; Fold or go allin.

Yes, you are correct. I depends on how cheap you can get in. My point is that be cautious when calling big bets that can hurt your stack.

On this particular hand, the pre flop bet was only the BB. But, after the flop, big bets started coming in, so I folded, since did not have a calling hand at that point.

Also, the pro that play Omaha hi/lo will recommend that player does not chase after the flop if price is too hi. Because in long run player will lose.

However, if other player are going to allow someone ot get in cheap and limp. Then, by all means, call and see what happens.

I am not thinking these things up myself. Not that smart. Just repeating what I read. And, like to give other players something to think about.

I have a group of friends and we discuss poker hands on a daily basis. Asking questions, making recommendation and jus generally discussing poker. I it makes us think, and improve our game.

Thanks for comment.

Unfortunately when it comes to Omaha HI/LO or Omaha HI Aces in the hole usually get beat once the flop comes out. You are right about playing your hand once the flop comes out but in my opinion and in most hands I have been in the turn and the river are most deadly. I have seen so many flop trips or straights and seen them get beat to flushes and boats. Escpecially when you have a rammin jammin game going. Or have the lucky ducks at your table where it seems like they are hitting everything they need because they don't know any better than to fold.

Just like holdem alot of players only see the cards in their hand they don't see or even think about what someone else could have. I think value betting and a strong knowledge of the game is more important because in these particluar games the nut hand can change with every card

gOOD lUCK

You definitely made the right move after the flop if you were in a multi-way pot and there were at least two bets in front of you (I'm not sure whether you were playing limit or PL, I'll assume limit) and people left to act.

Now, if I had only one small bet to call on the flop and I had position, I have to say I'd be sorely tempted to call depending on how much was in the pot at that point. Any ace on the turn gives you the nut high hand and a nut low draw, any low card except a 4 gives you a nut low draw. This is assuming that this is still a multi-way pot.

Thanks to the OP for illustrating a great point about Omaha-8.
