Re: is there any other play here? party $100pl OMAHA
if you're asking if there was some way you could have prevented the drawout, no. if you're asking if he made a bad play by calling, yes he did.
but if you want actual advice on how to play the hand, it depends on your opponents. aside from catching a bluff, the only way to get action on this hand is to catch someone with trip jacks or hope some fool calls with a flush draw or hits a flush and pays you off. once the flop has been bet and called, there are two possibilities:
- they have 99xx and Jxxx
- one has Jxxx and the other has a flush draw
either way, you are up against a jack unless your opponents are utter morons. your job now is to protect your hand. if you feel pretty sure fourth street will be bet, go ahead and make the play you made. otherwise, it is better to check-raise now and get all the money in on fourth street, than to allow the other guy to outdraw you for free, not knowing which card beats you.
