I play some omaha now and again. I play a pretty tight game mainly as the folk that play omaha are NUTTERS!

Anyway...I got this hand, its a bit confusing to look at on the Titan hand history so I'll write it out but theres still quite a bit going on. Can anyone tell me if I made the right play or point out any mistakes I made with it.

0.25c-0.50c pl full ring game 9 handed when this takes place.

I am on the button with 7h 10d js 4h.

the full table limps (1 guy who posted to play checks)

FLOP
Kh 9c 8c

sb checks to me I bet $2.50.
Cryry calls $2.50.
next guy calls $2.50.
next guy folds.
next goes all in for $8.29.
next 2 call this bet and 2 after that fold.
so back to me, I was prolly folding when the guy raised my bet but I call now
cos theres about $38 in the pot for another $5 from me.
UTG also calls this bet.

so theres about $48 in the pot

Turn is 6h making the board

Kh 9c 8c 6h

I go all-in for $48.45
One dude who has around $40 folds.
UTG and the other guy call this for roughly $10 each that they have in front of them.

river is Ad

which I like a lot and I take down the pot.

The guy who went all-in on the flop for the $8.29 shows
Kd 5c 3c 3h for a 5h club draw and top pair (on flop)

One of the all-in guys from the turn showed J high club draw.
The other one had J high heart draw.

On the turn theres 2 possible flushes that can be made on the river. If someone had a hand that consisted of 2 hearts and 2 clubs then they have a double flush bonanza type situation and they have pretty much 50% chance of winning (assuming they have the highest flush). I was hoping nobody did but its hard to believe that either a club or heart hits and I win the pot (working on the assumption that if its a heart my 7 high flush wont take it).

Also on the turn I got rid of the one other guy who had some chips left, the other 2 guys have odds to call with a flush draw assuming they arent on the same one.

I think I have answered my own question on the turn I should check this as theres a 50% chance someone makes a flush on the river, when the turn is a blank I bet and maybe the guy who folded on the turn calls showing me AAA.


Sorry if you have a sore head after reading this comments on my fishy omaha play welcomed

Hi Wazik,

Sorry m8 I really dont have much of a clue at 4 card omaha - I have played it a little but it really is not something I have spent a lot of time on. Weirdly I have played a LOT of 6 and 8 card omaha in live cash games. I really enjoy these games from the action pots that result but they are quite different to 4 card omaha for obvious reasons and the hands are played a bit different.

As for the hand youve posted it seems fine to me. I am not so sure about leading the flop in this case tho. This generates big pots (which of course you want to do when you have a draw to the nuts) as it is you have a nice draw however the problem is the onboard flush draw. If a club comes you are dead and of course there is the worst case scenario of someone having the straight draw + clubs to have a total freeroll on you. I would have liked a lead if the board had been rainbow with your draw however.

On the turn I dont think you can check it. Pushing is perfect. There are FAR too many free cards that hurt you here. Not only that but you dont just have the nuts, you have the bigger straight draw as well + hearts (I have no idea how often roughly backdoor 7 high flushes will be good in 4 card - in 6o it would be practically useless but I imagine it has some equity here occasionally). Of course someone might spike a bigger heart flush or clubs on you but thats the wild game of omaha - I agree totally with the push here.

Sorry I couldnt be of more help wazik, 4o aint really my game - perhaps there are some experts around here that can provide more insight?
