 PLO - No Brainer move here?, fortis, 20. Mar 2003 13:18 | ||
| View ( Message | Thread ) | Return to Thread List | |
| Thought you'd all enjoy this one. In a Pot Limit Omaha game (High only). The blinds are 5 and 10. I have QQ4A, and the ace is suited. I make the bring of $10 as I am UTG. A couple of other callers, and a late position raise for the size of the pot - $50. Everybody folds to me, and I say WTF and toss in an additional $40. The other two callers call and the size of the pot is about $300 or so. Flop comes 7 4 4. I check other 2 callers check and the late better bets the pot $320. I'm next to act and check to make sure that I DO indeed have a 4 and then go all in (call the $320 and raise $675). Everybody mucks, including the bettor who thought about it for a long minute. I was thinking about this play and realized that instead of the genius move that I made here - it was the only obvious play. I am an early position caller that called a significant raise before the flop - therefore I put him on some kind of 'premium' Omaha hand - maybe KK10J or AAKJ. The flop comes low and I check - he thinks his hand is good and I come over the top. Even if I didn't have a 4, I should have done exactly the same thing - he would have laid down (and doing what I did was smart (rather then just calling) because he may catch his A or K the next card). Anyway - anybody disagree? | ||

I think you made the right move. You bet while you had the best of it and he didn't have a reasonable draw and you took down the pot then and there. Possibly you would have been able to make more money from the hand and possibly you could have lost the whole thing. I'd say that if you had a *very* big stack then you would have been right to lead him along and try to get more money out of him, but with your stack the way that it was, I think the all-in raise was good. | ||

| That's already a large enough pot to do whatever it takes to win it immediately. I completely agree with pushing all-in when you did. | ||
