What is two pair good for in limit Omaha Hi ?
Hi. I see two pair take down an occasional pot so should I be betting a top and bottom two pair in the right situations ?
For example: Focus on post flop here. I know I ROYALLY messed up the preflop street. I have A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] It is capped preflop between 5 players. Yes, I called every raise. Not good. Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] pot= $10 Hero bets .50 BB calls EP1 calls MP calls LP calls Should I bet here because the pot is $10 and I could possibly take it down and have the best hand or should I not even bother ? The pot was so big so I bet. If the pot was $4 , though maybe my decision would be different and a check would be better ? Also, I saw the flop against 4 others and not 7 players so I figure my odds were better. Thanks. BTW, I ended up checking the turn and river and lost to a flush on the river. |

i don't play limit omaha, but i can tell you that you have NO chance of taking this down with a bet on the flop. your opponents are getting 20+:1 odds on your bet. considering the preflop action, that board likely gives at least one or two players draws, so unless they're complete chimps they're not folding when getting 20+:1, even if their draw is totally mediocre.

[/ QUOTE ] you need to read theory of poker. your .50 bet is more likely to take down the small $4 pot you mentioned that the $10 pot, contrary to what you said. this is really a poker fundamental. i would check this flop, and call one bet. if this post came off as overly harsh i didn't mean it, i just want to emphasize that you should read theory of poker and get some fundamentals down. |

I have read TOP. Well, up to just pass the Semi-bluffing chapters which is about 80 % complete. I don't like reading.
I hear you , though but what is the point of giving people infinite odds ? |

Why stop playing limit omaha ? If you know how to play, its major +EV . Where else online are you going to find a .50/1 limit game with 65 % seeing the flop ?

I think he is referring to major holes in your Limit Hi game. If you aren't against at least one big set and a flush draw on the flop, I'd be shocked. You have a great Hi/Lo hand, but unfortunately that doesn't matter.
leading the flop + reading TOP = [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] |

But limit omaha is terrible terrible torture and shouldn't be played by anyone for reason other than to torture onesself. |

What's wrong with limit Omaha? Too many draws make no one hand much of a favorite--thus everyone sees the river?
