The bottom line is yeah, sets are tricky in omaha. I dont play PLO much but i have played lots of limit omaha, and i fully understand that sets are not always the nuts by a long shot when people are holding 4 cards in thier hand instead of 2.
However, in this situation, the pot was heads up for one thing, and secondly, there was exactly two straightsout there, no flush no nothin, and to have that the mizor would have to hold a 5 and a 7 or a 5 deuce. Otherwise, my hand is the best, and anything he was calling me with on the turn was no good, unless it had 75 in it. And if i check the river, i dont think the chances he's going to bluff at me with a busted flush draw are all that great. Its not like there was any scare card on the river. I highly doubt that hed think 'hey, i think ill represent the 75'... given the action, im pretty sure he knew i had a hand, although it sobviously possible that he didnt.
The way i see it, lets even say he'll l bluff it if checked to like, 20% of the time he has a busted draw. But, if he has a not so strong made hand that he might have called with, hes going to check behind like, almost 100% of the time, and unless hes got 25 or 75, i missed out on $300+.
I dunno i guess my bottom line is that my hand is probably good like 90% of the time here, so why not bet it? I dunno. Would you guys really check that?
Oh yeah, and to answer Bris question, the truth is I didnt realize exactly how big 2/4 omaha played. I did not think that i would be losing frickin $1400 pots in that damn game. I am probly gonna stay away from the 2/4 game until either a) I manage to runnitup enough that it plays small for me (unlikely, since im too donktastic to runnitup), or else i get a bit more experience playing 1/2.Statistics: Posted by MecosKing — Sun Mar 26, 2006 4:14 am
