Would you lay this down?
 

I'm playing at pokerrroom, .50 BB PL Omaha (full ring game)

I have K-J-9-x in my hand, and 7-8 people see the flop (no raise pre-flop)
Flop comes:
KK9

I decide to bet out with my kings full (perhaps a c/r would have been better though), and only one guy calls, so I figure he prob. has a king.

The turn is the Q, which scared me bit, cause he easily could have had a hand like AKQT or something, but I decided that I was going to play the hand even if I checked and he bet, so I decided to go ahead and put the rest of my money in the pot.

Of course, the guy had AKQ8, and i lost a big pot to kings full of queens.

I don't have too much experience playing OH, so I'm wondering if you guys think there's any way you could get away from this hand.

Switching from holdem to omaha can be very tricky when it comes to laying a hand down. In a holdem game holding K9 with the board KK9Q, I will push it all in almost everytime. In an PLO game with 8 people to a flop in a lower limit environment, I am going to fold it most times depending on the other players I am up against.

On the turn, this is a check-fold, or make a 1/2 pot bet, fold to a raise. A lot of your gains from Omaha will come from not losing money when you get drawn out.

How big were the chip stack sizes?

The way it appears, Hero is saying he had less than a pot bet on the turn.

I think you played it fine.

No way I'd lay that down, the only hand that beats you on the turn is KQxx, if he has it he has it. With stacks that shallow I'd get my money in every time. Change the game/stacks/players and I might think about it.

Joe, please stop posting in this forum, your advice is consistently awful. I cannot imagine you are a winning player at this game since you want to fold so damn much.

Re: Would you lay this down?
 

Yeah, on the turn I had barely more than a pot-sized bet.

If we both had very deep stacks, perhaps I would have had a chance to get away from my hand..

Well you're wrong about my not being a winning player, but I have no problem with keeping my poker ideas to myself. This forum gets relatively little action anyway. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Harsh. It's posts like that that we need less of.
