PL Omaha Hand Small Pot
Im used to winning small pots with monsters in Pl, but this hand was different due to the number of callers. Was there a way for me to win more? I have no reads and all stack sizes are fairly even.

Re: Correct to keep betting?
I fold this preflop but I don't think a call is horrible.
Same with the bet on the river. I probably check and maybe induce a bluff from the ace or a check from a passive player with a better...

Re: Hitting flops in the big blind
It depends. If it's a hand that I normally wouldn't play (like K-2), I check the flop and see what develops. Should a player bet and get a call I fold. If a late positon player bets and it's folded...

Re: Overcards
It's a tough hand to play. Many players just close their eyes and bet to the river. I use the number of opponents and flop to determine my action (I'm assuming I have no info on the players). 3 or...

Results
I don't like to post the results with the hand b/c some will use the additional info to shape their response. Also, as Buzz points out, it doesn't matter. But I know some are curious.

Re: Folding instead of checking
I disagree with the majority here. Poker is a game of etiquette and these players have a responsibility to the other players to act in turn (just as they can't show their cards to other players, or...

Re: Should I Bet this River Unimproved?
I would have played the hand the same way. The bet on the flop is almost automatic for me against 3 opponents. Once you get it heads -up, I bet the turn for two reasons.
1) I don't want to give a...

Re: Should I Bet this River Unimproved?
Generally, you can ask yourself 2 questions when deciding whether to bet the river:
1) Will a worse hand call me?
2) Will a better hand fold?
If either answer is yes go ahead and bet. In this...

Re: Funny Limit Hand
I did bet the river. That's when he raised me. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
BTW, you don't make it obvious in your post that the board was the nuts, so you should cut the others some slack.

Interesting situation tonite. Player A bets the river. Player B fiddles with his chips, looking like he's counting out a raise, but not putting out any chips. Finally he counts out the chips to call,...

Re: 2 outs on the flop?
You have a marginal call preflop. On the flop you are getting 13-1 on a 22-1 shot (I think it's a safe assumption that you have to hit to win). Easy fold. In rare circumstances I may take one off but...

Re: Flop % in Omaha8
My percentage is a few points lower in limit O8 than hold'em. I recently tracked 1000 hands and I think I saw 14% of the flops outside the blinds.

Re: Help Needed - LL O8
But how many times are you going to flop a nut-lo draw with A-4? I like the hand for it's 2 flush draws and that's about it. Later in the article Cappaletti discusses the pot equity of As-2-4-7...
