Unfortunately no read on SB. I just can't see anyone other than a maniac c/r the turn after my aggression pre-flop and flop.

these are some tough hands for me. the first hand i think i'd give up on the turn, but then again the draws kinda make me want to check/call the river after betting the turn.

the second hand, i'd like some comments on your preflop raise. my play is to fold this hand with only one limper.

[Omaha8Player]

Hand number 1 I would never bet the flop and I might consider limping whit 99 in early position pre flop.
Don’t bet the flop because the K J is in a weary likely range of your opponents cold calling hands and it is way to coordinated to make anyone to lay down there hands. I would bet the turn if it got checked around on the flop and no scare card comes.

Hand 2 I would fold pre flop.
When I got check raised whit the early limper after I have raised it really feels like he was limping whit a big pair but whit no reads on the guy it is very hard decision for me anyway.

Yeast what I think about this.

[Danenania]

Against some opponents I would play Hand 1 the way you did. Against some I would give up on the turn. It depends if that A gives me any fold equity. Fold on the river is pretty easy.

Hand 2 I play the same although I might not always 3-bet the flop.

My plan was 3-bet flop, bet turn, check river if he's still hanging on.

If I don't 3-bet the flop, its call-down mode, right?
