Default Re: $400PL Omaha S/handed - Turn Decision - Simple?

Tough.

I like calling the flop. I don't want to go to war with top two in a 4 way flop without a read on SB and BB hands. If they are planning a c/r with a set, you don't want to have all that money out there already. On the other hand, I don't like folding here, and am probably willing to go to war against UTG's short stack with this hand.

Also, there is a real possiblity that you and UTG both have QT. A shove in war when SB has a strong draw would therefore be bad. But by just calling you have created a good opportunity on a blank turn. If UTG is scared by your call, he may check, you pot it, SB throws his draw away, and UTG now becomes convinced you have a set and mucks his QT. This is a potential benefit of position, which you throw away by reraising his short stack on the flop when your fold equity against a short stack may be small but increases by the turn.

The fold on the turn as the hand played is obvious.
