Omaha Hi $0.50-$0.50 PL (real money)

Seat 1: SB ($58.75 in chips)
Seat 2: BB ($16.50 in chips)
Seat 4: UTG ($35.75 in chips)
Seat 7: MP ($61.50 in chips)
Seat 8: Hero [2C,AH,5C,KH] ($44.50 in chips)
Seat 9: Button ($42 in chips)

PRE-FLOP
UTG calls $0.50, MP calls $0.50, Hero calls $0.50, Button folds, Blinds check.

FLOP [board cards 3 /images/graemlins/club.gif,J /images/graemlins/heart.gif,4 /images/graemlins/spade.gif ]

SB checks, BB bets $0.50, UTG calls $0.50, MP folds, Hero calls $0.50, SB folds.

TURN [J /images/graemlins/club.gif ]

Everyone checks.

RIVER [2 /images/graemlins/heart.gif ]

BB bets $1, UTG calls $1, Hero calls $1.

BB wouldn't play a boat like this; he has often led out on the flop, checked the turn when the board paired, and made small river bets, showing down two pair/trips, he makes real bets with complete hands. UTG has been somewhat passive.

First, with everyone showing weakness on the flop, I would definitely raise pot.

Next, since everyone showed weakness on the flop AND the turn, AND the pot is small, strongly consider a bluff on the turn by betting pot.

Last, you have to call the tiny bet on the river, even though you are beat most of the time.
