Funny PL Omaha min-raise anecdote

[Ulysses]

$25 PL Omaha8 @ PartyPoker.

$4 in the pot. 5 players call a $2 bet on the turn, so we go to the river w/ $14 in the pot.

The river card puts a flush on the board. It also pairs the board.

New bettor bets $.50 into the $14 pot. Folded to a player who raises to $1. Initial bettor now re-raises to $16. Min-raiser now goes all-in for $25 total and initial bettor calls.

All-in guy turned two pair and filled up on the river. Initial bettor made his flush.

Anyway, I thought the river betting was pretty funny. That's all.

and you wonder why i prefer min bets to pointless big bluff bets.

i still don't get how anyone can think a min bet is the correct play in PLO, especially on the river. every time i see someone do that to extract an extra 50 cents or dollar with a flush on a paired board, then get check raised the full size of the pot, i smile a little inside.

I generally only smile at that when I am the one doing the check-raising. But then I grin like a Cheshire Cat. /images/graemlins/cool.gif
