Is this how you play Omaha? (2 hands)

[Piiop]

Hand 1 - Party $100, 10-handed. I have 75 and haven't been at the table very long.

UTG+1 - Really bad player. Apparently he's lost ~$400 in the past 20 minutes and a couple players at the table are taunting him in the chat.

MP1 - Seems weak/tight. Haven't seen much out of him.

BB - One of the main people chatting about UTG+1. Has a big stack and seems pretty LAG.

I have 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Preflop - fold, UTG+1 limps ($60), fold, MP1 limps ($80), fold, I raise to 5, folded to the BB who calls ($400), UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds.

Flop ($15) - Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Checked to me, I check.

Turn (~15) - 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Checked to me, I bet pot.


Hand 2 - Different table, still Party $100 10-handed. This table has been very passive, hardly any raising preflop. Other than that, I don't have any good reads on the players.

I have Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Preflop - I limp UTG ($110), 3 more people limp, SB completes, BB checks. 6 to the frop.

Flop ($6) - J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Blinds check, I bet pot, 1 caller ($90), folds to the BB ($90) who calls.

Turn ($24) - K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

BB checks, I check.


Comments on all streets appreciated.

Anyone else want to comment? Boringly standard? Too terrible for words?

I am still new to omaha myself so take this with a grain of salt.

Hand #1
I agree pot it on turn, however fold to a massive re-raise. I don't know about this table but with my experience people love the check raise when have sets and full houses.

Hand #2
So many hands out there that can beat you depending on the river so pot it. Make them draw with negative expectation. However with a re-raise navigate carefully. A ton of hands can beat you right now KJXX.


IF you could post how people re-acted after your bets/checks on the turn that would be great.

Although it's true that KJxx beats you, it is extemely unlikely somebody has this hand after your flop bet.

Hand one, good job. We are not sure if we want action though!

Hand two, I pot the turn, fold a raise. Check behind any river if called (other than a J or 8, where I probably try to value bet if checked to).
