I'm not drawing to the nut boat and I don't think my hand is good how it is so I decide to fold. It would have been a tough river decision if I called. Thoughts about turn and river if I had called?

I know i should have raised preflop but I'm working on that after I am more comfortable with my postflop play. My mind is too much like holdem when I'm the aggressor preflop. Is this a situation I should have checked the river to induce a bluff since I don't put him on J9?

I hate low sets! I wasn't too sure what to do on the turn and river (except that I hit my quads this time). 2 out of 4 of my opponents were short stacks so If they had the boat, I would assume I would have heard something by then.

Ok I'm not a PLO pro by any means but here goes anyways.

Hand 1: I like your fold, on the flop there really are only 4 cards that truely make you happy, the board pairing kings isn't going to get you anywhere. This is not a hue pot, good laydown.

Hand 2: I also need to work on my agression in Omaha both PLO and O8, I think you know that this is a raiseing hand other than that, I think you played it well, enough. You probably should have either made a post oak bluff or checked the river, to induce a bluff.

Hand3: After getting that many callers of your flop bet I would probably not have bet so hard on the turn, I would probably have checked the turn, when the quad card hits yeah I think you hand is good.

hand 1, seems OK to fold that. Marginal call and you need to be pretty certain that someone will pay you off and/or no-one has a KK or top two. A few too many worries for me, so a decent fold.

hand 2: Raise preflop, consider a check-raise on the flop if you think someone will bet for you. On turn, obv. bet pot. On river, I usually bet a bit less than the pot, perhaps 1/2 pot, and hope he'll fish in with two pair. Makes it easier to lay down to a big raise too. Full pot bet is not so bad either, but i think he's very likely to be on a flush draw so I'm looking to give him a reason to CALL now that he's missed. If he has a weedy 2 pair, or even a little overpair, I want him to put in another $3 or so for a showdown.

hand 3: Agree with rhound, I don't like that turn, with such a multiwayer. Looks like 85 or 83 are possible, and so I'm prepared to give this up if anyone takes off on a big bet. River play is good.
