good read or stupid raise ?

In a ring game I shoot for around 25% when not in the blinds. Obviously it will vary wildly in a given session depending on your cards. It is not something to be anal about, but if you are typically playing over 35% of your hands then the easiest way to improve your results and lower your fluctuation would be to play tigher before the flop.

In holdem I probably average around 17-18%, which makes sense since you can play more hands in omaha. Godd luck.

Top 2 with a two flush on board?
And a possible wrap? With a BAD top 2? Are you NUTS?

I won't play that hand that way unless I "own"
the SB. Given that the SB has a shortish stack,
you really have to be prepared for his all in
when you stay in the hand, regardless of your
exact action.

I don't like any part of the way the hand was played,
except the last call of 4.50 all in is obviously right...

you are heads up with someone that you have marked with aces. not sure why you fear the wrap. is this guy raising out of the blinds with J98? as for the flush, the ace has to be suited. then that has to match the two flush on the board. the combined probabilities are low. even if he has the draw, you are almost even and have shallow stacks. this is the kind of flop you want if you make a bad call hoping to pop aces.

this is a definate fold. true your hand is prolly best on the flop, but it will be a rare situation that it either stays that way or the hand will end right there. two pair without any redraws is a trap hand. i lose more money with 2 pair than with any other holding. the way i have found 2 pair to be most profitable is a pot bet and no other action afterwards.

hope this helps,

Caveat I havn't played any micro limit PLO but your hand really doesn't have enough struccture to enter the pot. Against reasonable opponents you hope he only has aces and a flush draw here. You will also get shown runsdowns which have flushy/straighty outs or set+flush or straighty outs. Against many of these things your two pair is in serious trouble.

I don't like how your opponent played his hand. He couldn't get himeself in preflop and then on the flop he had a dry ace which he could have used on the turn to cause you problems. Instead he gave away all his leverage.

It looks like the converter doesn't understand that you must use 2 cards in Omaha.

The point is that while this flop play might be +ev you are hardly adding to your bankroll while most certainly increasing your variance.

Since you are exploiting a tiny edge like this you should have a bankroll like that a casino has for a roulette wheel. Otherwise you might go broke before your luck changes.
