Default Broadway + flush redraw on a paired board.

$25 PL Omaha Hi/Lo (5 handed)

Hero ($48.45)
BB ($20.11)
UTG+1 ($25)
LP2 ($25)
OTB ($24.15)

Hero posts small blind [$0.10].
BB posts big blind [$0.25].
UTG+1 posts big blind [$0.25].

Preflop: Hero is in BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="#666666">(1 check)</font>, <font color="#666666">(1 folds)</font>, OTB calls [$0.25], Hero calls [$0.15], <font color="#666666">(1 check)</font>

Mediocre hand but worth a complete? 5 way both of my flush draws are probibly live.

Flop: <font color="#009933">($1)</font> J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+1 checks, OTB checks

I checked because a naked J has got to bet there. No bet probibly == no J

Turn: <font color="#009933">($1)</font> T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(6 players)</font>
I bet pot, BB folds, UTG+1 folds, OTB re-pots.

Now I am a little suspicious. Why would a made boat re-pot there? He has position why not call and see if I will bet into him again on the river. Yet again this is the party $25 tables (which short handed are worse then normal) so my opponent may not be think much beyond "grunt I made a boat grunt".

This really feels like a naked J to me but am I willing to put my stack forward to find out? The problem is that if I am right I fairly large favorite but if I am wrong I am drawing dead.


This is the 3rd hand that this player has played so I have no read on him.

I don't play much short handed although I think I am going to start playing more so criticism on all streets are welcome and thoughts on what to do on the turn will be appreciated.
