try and bluff me? the ultimate weak/tight nut peddler? Yeah, often not a bad move but this was just so nice. What a river card. I thought he was bluffing or thought he had the winner, either way, I was fairly certain he would bet the river. If he had a strong hand, he'd value bet it, if its a bluff, he isn't calling anything anyway so let him bluff. Nice two out for the loss.

And the lesson to be learned is that in Omaha it is dangerous to value bet a marginal hand on the river with position when that only way that you will get called is by a better hand.

good point. It also goes that its often better to check/call the river with a likely winner when you aren't likely to get called, only raised by a hand that beats you.

There is nothing better then your opponent drawing dead and getting there.
