Still learning: Second best straight on the flop...

[otnemem]

I don't remember specifics, but I have the important info:

Flop is 5d-6d-7c

I have 4-8-x-x on the button, no diamonds no redraws. UTG leads with $5 into a $10 pot. MP call. My move?

I told you, I know nothing...

As it were, I raised this flop, and folded when it was potted back to me. I stink, but at least I knew to fold after a reraise...

I've just recently started getting into Omaha as a way to diversify from my main game(NLHE). Could someone please elaborate why you should be in such a huge rush to fold the second best possible hand on this flop?

Because the 2nd nuts in omaha often won't cut it on the river and on the flop, even if you have the nut straight, someone with the same straight can have a redraw and be FREEROLLING on you.

You need to read Ciaffone and Caiffone/Reuben's books.

Three things that kill you in Omaha.

1. Underfull
2. K high flush
3. Non nut straight.

This is nice, especially for the inexperienced Omaha player... like me.
