Paradise Poker Pot-Limit Omaha High, $0.50 BB (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

MP3 ($33.50)
CO ($52.25)
Button ($65.75)
SB ($45.75)
BB ($30.25)
Hero ($49.75)
UTG+1 ($56.75)
MP1 ($35.25)
MP2 ($50.00)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with 5/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif. SB posts a blind of $0.25. MP2 posts a blind of $0.50.
Hero calls $0.50, UTG+1 calls $0.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP2 (poster) checks, MP3 calls $0.50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $1</font>, SB (poster) calls $0.75, BB calls $0.50, Hero calls $0.50, UTG+1 calls $0.50, MP2 calls $0.50, MP3 calls $0.50.

With a lot of weak players I try to see a lot of pots.

Flop: ($7) 7/images/graemlins/club.gif, 2/images/graemlins/club.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(7 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, MP3 checks, Button checks.

Turn: ($7) 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(7 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets $4</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $19</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, Button folds, SB folds, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to $29.25</font>, (All-In) calls $10.25.

I think he made a weak hand or draw and see myself as a 50% favorite or beter. If he made 2 pair he might throw it away and with 10 straight outs, 7 flush outs that don't pair the board, and a couple of other weak flush draws it's a coinflip against trips, or I'm a favorite against other hands/draws

River: ($65.50) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: $65.50

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
BB has Kh Kc Ac 5d (three of a kind, kings).
Hero has 5c As 4s 6c (high card, ace).
Outcome: BB wins $65.50. </font>

I was a 35% dog on the turn, but he gave me really good odds to draw to my straight or nut flush.

Any thoughts on this hand?

you played it fine. change Ac to Ad and you're even money. This is pretty much the worst hand to be against here.

Looks OK to me. Check-call the turn if you want less variance in your game.

I like a call on the turn more than a raise because most of your draws are very well-concealed and will probably pay off more on the river if they hit, especially that straight (which will probably send the bettor into the seventh level of Tilt when he sees his set of kings beat by a tiny straight). If other people call I wouldn't mind because you have so many outs to the nuts.

Otherwise I would have played it the same.

I like your raise here. Often times this is just a draw and he may even bet into you when you make your hand because he'll put you on a set and you can maybe bluff him if you both miss. Sometimes it's a big hand and then you put in a little bit of extra money as a dog which you don't really wan't to do but as an aside when it's shown down it creates an aggressive image for yourself that will keep players guessing in later hands.
