Re: Shorthanded Omaha hand
 

I can't remember if you were originally a brit or not, LA. How are u finding the Brummie games? Historically, they were seen as being some of the toughest in the UK.

Of course at the table I would probably raise, its just I feel that in an ideal world, shorthanded, small pair hands are so much weaker. Happy to be proved wrong!

Re: Shorthanded Omaha hand
 

A button raise looks standard

I can't believe he reraised preflop and then checked top pair and an open ender. I guess he would have bet if he missed.

Check on the river is standard.

repitious I know but I check behind as well. I can't call c/r.

Stuck and steaming, AND a poor postflop player, it's hard to see you moving him off a flush. His preflop raise suggests a possible high pair in hand, which you might be able to shift with a 1/3-pot bet or so. However, I think his play looks like a draw of some sort most of the way through, so I'd check and hope that he shows a wrap or straight draw around the flop without a flush draw.

If you think there's any possibility of him dropping a medium-sized flush draw I think you should bet. Otherwise I think checking seems the best action; the majority of hands that beat you seem likely to call, I think the only ones you shift are KKxx and AAxx.
