PL100 Omaha Hi

[Skribbles]

Pre-flop was fairly loose but I normally see alot of flops in omaha and normally just nutpeddle. Do you make this call on the river?

Yes. It would be a crying call though. The fact that he put it in overdrive on the turn sure looks like a straight. I would still make the call though and pay him off.

[golddog]

Yes, because I'd be playing Omaha/8 :D

Grrr...why you gotta be difficult?

I think I'm with soup, hoping like hell that he's on A5 too and trying to push off a split. But, that's might be my hi/lo background talking.

[Dat_Dude]

Call. The only hand you are worried about here is 56, and I am willing to pay that hand off at this point. The way DanaD played this hand, I would put her on the same straight as you, or a set of 3's.

[Ewi]

I'd have to agree with everyone else and call. I'm suspecting a 56 here, but like Dat_Dude said there are other hands that could bet that way. I normally play $0.05/$0.10, and I've seen people bet like that with two pair, say 4's and 3's, on a board like that. I don't know if that is a regular occurance on the giddy heights of $0.50/$1, but I'd be making that call regardless.

Maybe I'm the only one rooting for a fold here, maybe even a fold on the turn. You have second nuts with a bet before you, a raise after you call, and no redraw. In PL100, I'd be willing to stake a large amount that Dana has the 56 and you're drawing dead... and Dana has position, even worse for you. You usually don't raise the pot at these stakes with a bet and raise before you without the absolute nuts.

Personally, I'd fold on the turn here. You guys might think I'm crazy, but I've seen this move a lot on PLO tables.

So what happened? I'm curious!
