Newbie Hand

[KneeCo]

Tonight was my first night of Omaha H/L. One thing I'm wondering is, at micro-limits, how much credit do I give other players? Here's a hand that examplifies this: (couldn't get converter to work, so I improvised)

If I just check here to avoid paying off an A3 am I losing value by giving the villains too much credit, or is a check-call here the obvious move?

There are 1001 hands that beat you in both directions and you are in a 3 way pot. I think that betting here would be horrible, check and hope the guy behind you checks too. If he bets and stainfighter folds, call. If he bets and stainfighter calls I would think about throwing it away. I probably wouldn't but I would seriously consider it.

Thanks for the insight, for the record we checked it down and I scooped the pot, just wanted to know if I lost value on the river.

Expect a lot of stupid questions in the coming weeks. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I don't know how you got lucky enough to scoop this pot, but don't get used to it on a board like that.
