Default Re: ahh hell

hopefully you considered that you have not only the nut straight but also top two pair on the flop. this is a huge difference; if you had a hand like J932 instead, a ten or eight would kill you on the turn. now a ten or eight is a great card (although less so after the ace hits).

also, in omaha you are not looking to be a huge favorite to have the nuts on the river; you just want good odds on your bets. if you are getting three callers, and almost half the deck will leave you with a winner on the river, you are getting great money odds on your bet. just remember that a lot of drawouts happen in omaha, so if you get frustrated easily it may be best to find a new game.
