PL Omaha $20 Final Table ?
 

Villain has been pretty tight throughout. Pay scale is as follows: 1st: $1000 2nd: $650 3rd: $450. What's my play?

If villain has KJ, you are beaten. I think this would be hard to fold the straight heads up in the blinds with 2 2-flushes on the board.

you didn't say the buttons action....
but I'd fold regardless. if the button is in, hope he gets knocked out. If it weren't the last three people, I wouldn't have bet the turn either.

Re: PL Omaha $20 Final Table ?
 

Added button's action. Also, up until this hand I had not seen the villain raise once.

I don't see this at all. You are the shortest stack, so you can't fold to move up.

Obviously button folded preflop.

ok, that last little tid bit makes me want to fold even more. I'm interested in how this, and the tourney ended up. I love PLO, but have never played a tournament of it.

Even shortstacked and 3 handed, I'd hate to get stacked with the 2nd nuts with no redraw facing a big reraise. I'd probably fold.

Re: PL Omaha $20 Final Table ?
 

You are crazy, read the board again.

Re: PL Omaha $20 Final Table ?
 

Well I see the majority say fold, I wish you all were playing my hand. I talked myself into the call "I have two of the jacks", and he had KJ. Being somewhat weaker in Omaha, I am wondering how you all get off this hand. All advice is appreciated.

Re: PL Omaha $20 Final Table ?
 

One reason is your read. You say this guy is a rock, meaning this reraise means a real hand. So not a bluff. This does not necessarily mean he has the KJ, but it's certainly a very good chance. Second, if you look at your hand, you have no redraws. If he has KJ you are dead to it. The other possibilities are, if he needs a hand to raise with as you indicated, a set or a very large draw, with a set being unlikely unless it's precisely QQ as he checked the flop. If he has a very large draw, it is probably 2 pair + flush draw which has many outs against you. However it's more likely he plays these passively looking to hit the river.

It's not like it's a bad call, just pretty marginal at best given your read. I might call too in the situation.
