Default Re: What do you think of my play

[ QUOTE ]
I am very new to Omaha/8 so take my advice with a grain of salt because I may be totally wrong. But anyway, I am wondering whether or not it was correct to cap the turn? I mean, I understand that you have some big draws but I just wonder if you had enough pot equity edge to push your hand this hard.

If anyone agrees or disagrees with me here, be sure to let me know, because it could sure help my game. And please, offer some explanation and math to justify your answer because decisions like these are very important, in terms of +/- EV.

You might have a question about your play on the third betting round where you have many outs, but they're mostly for half of the pot. I count them all together as about 8 scoop equivalent outs, accordingly figure your hand odds as 29 to 8 or roughly 3.6 to one against you, and, including an implied contribution from an opponent when you make your hand on the river, figure you need at least three opponents to jamb on the turn. Since you have four opponents, the extra opponent is pure gravy. You should, and do, jamb on the third betting round. I like it.
