Playing the Flop in omaha :

You never really want to be chasing the low hand even if the flop comes out two small cards. Since a lot of players with foolishly play any hand that contains A2, 2 different things usually happen:

1) If you hit the low hand, you are quartered and splitting the low pot with another A2.

2) You miss the low hand because it goes runner runner high card, or an A or 2 hits and you have no chance at winning the high.

You really should address what game exactly you're referring to. And yes, even if you quarter the low pot in HL limit, you wont be far behind. If, as u say, 2 hi cards come in HL, dump.

I don't think "BeautyLaura" has any idea what game (s)he is referring to as this is simple plagiarism. I suppose she is trying hard to reach post count for 'some reason or another'.

Hey, her thread magincally disappeared. lol Funny, I was already starting to wonder why she would never come back to her own threads and thank anyone or make any other comments. I suspect she'll be a ban hammer casualty someday.
