Omaha Hi Tourney - Nearing FT

Postby LeeG » Fri Nov 21, 2008 1:40 pm GMT

13 Left in a PLO Tourney. I am 3rd in chips, but field is pretty close (11th in chips has about 1/2 of what chip leader has).

We are 6 handed. Blinds 1K/2K. Action folds to CO (42K) who limps, Button, SB fold. I am in BB (60K) with:
K :club: K :spade: 9 :diamond: T :club: and pot it. V calls.

Flop:
A :club: Q :club: T :spade:

I lead out for 1/2 Pot and V jams:

At this point, I am behind everything but I have a great draw.

Thoughts please. It is a $5BI Tourney if that makes a difference. First prize is $290, 13th is $15.

Your draw is not as great as what you think it is. You have the NFD (9 outs) and a gutshot (4). If he has KJ already then you are only drawing to 3 for the gut shot and that's just to tie.

When he jams after you raise a limper (a lot of the time the raiser will have AAxx) and an A flops, I can't see this player going anywhere and you are just going to be gambling.

You may think you have a great draw, but what you need to remember is that Omaha is a 4 card game and draws can run up to 20+ outs. I think you can muck this hand because it's not as if you have lost a huge chunk of your stack and I believe in a vacuum with this move the player is going to showdown and you don't need to risk losing 2/3 your chips with this draw.

If you have additional info on the player then that may sway my decision.

Yeah, this draw is really kinda crappy tbh. I would fold here and wait for a better spot. I would not want to get most of my stack in with like 35% equity.

Also, please don't pot preflop OOP.

What?
In a cash game this is a raise all day long against most players.

This isn't a cash game, effective stack is like 20 BB, and we only have about 30 BB. Plus, we're at a stage where the money is getting crucial and significant, and I would prefer not to put myself in the type of situation where I won't know how to react to a raise when I flop something like we do here.

Thanks for all the input. Omaha is by far my worst of the HORSE games, and my experience in PLO-Hi is practically nill.

I made the call and he had a set of queens. I caught flush on turn, but he made FH on river and I was on the ropes.
