Default Omaha H/L PL -- Final table hand

Hello all. Final table of a MTT tournament, and I would like to know how I play it. I really don't consider myself a good Omaha H/L player mainly because I don't know how to play Omaha H. Most of my expirence are in the $16 and $36 SNG's on PokerStars where I have been doing quite well but since they are Turbo that distorts things quite a bit, so please don't go too hard if I played this horribly. I am Chuuu.

Anyways, on to the hand:

====
Seat 1: cancunsteve (8,312 in chips)
Seat 2: jareo (9,627 in chips)
Seat 3: Chuuu (4,546 in chips)
Seat 4: joe@0607 (19,134 in chips)
Seat 6: luxardo (5,701 in chips)
Seat 7: HotRodLinc (1,685 in chips)
Seat 8: bj21fan (11,430 in chips)
Seat 9: Bonaparte (18,619 in chips)
Seat 10: Romes (7,946 in chips)

Chuuu : Post Small Blind (300)
joe@0607: Post Big Blind (600)


Hand : 2c 5AJd

luxardo : Call (600)
Bonaparte: Call (600)
Chuuu : Call (300)
joe@0607: Check

*** FLOP *** : [ 4h Js Qc ]
Chuuu : Check
joe@0607: Check
luxardo : Check
Bonaparte: Check

*** TURN *** : [ 4h Js Qc ] [ Ah ]
Chuuu : Bet (2,400)
joe@0607: Raise (4,800)
luxardo : Fold
Bonaparte: Call (4,800)

Now what? I have about 2500 chips left, joe and bonaparte are sitting on 15K+ stacks and are the chip leaders. We merged 3 hands ago, I have reads on neither.

You don't have a bet/fold stack size. Don't bet. If you do bet, you have to call.

Curious, with the blinds being what they are, what exactly should I be waiting for to start making a move?

I don't know about in O8, but in NLHE anytime you have less than 10x the BB you are in push or fold preflop mode. My guess is that it would work the same here although since you can only bet the pot there wouldn't be as much fold equity.

I still think that in this situation you have A25 and you are out of position. I would bet the pot (2100) and then lead out all in on almost any flop.

If you are going to call pre-flop then I would check the flop as you have done. Once you decide to make the bet on the turn you are pot committed and need to call any bet back at you.

You are going to scoop with any A, 3 or J giving you 8 clean outs. There are probably some other ways to half or quarter the pot so even if you weren't pot committed here it would make sense to call given the odds.

two raises,fold,you're beat.take another chance on better cards.low is not a lock and only a chance.you made a large bet on high 2 pair and found out a stright is there ,one of two callers surely,plus a flush possibility.full house the only real chance of winning high,should of betted 500-1000 to test waters and maybe gotten a chance at filling up on long shot or gotten to a low.its all in my opinion,it may sound weak tight but 600 blind next i would wait for a better hand then commit it all with hopefully 4 callers
