To lead? Or not to lead? .25/.50 - Omaha 8 Poker Forum

FRGCardinal · 07-29-2012, 10:30 PM

I mean this hand seems straightforward enough, but...
With 3 callers OTF, should I check through the turn in fear of multiple A2 AND a flush? Or keep them guessing? Anyone making a case for checking it through?
I assume the river is never getting raised? I mean, it's really obvious that my straight won't be taking the high now. Or am I missing a golden opportunity to hammer people chasing the high with fours full?

Worrying about getting quartered is one thing but worrying about getting sixthed is taking it too far.

Another benefit of the turn bet is that a tight player with a naked flush might fold and let you 3/4 or scoop against low only hands if nobody has a boat.

+1

even if pot was 3 way you should raise river with nut low

BB does not have A2 -- he checked the flop.
UTG+2 does not have a flush or a straight for high. He could play A2xx or some kind of flush with a big pp this way.
No idea what MP has, probably some kind of hand in 2nd place one way.

I think you can river raise, as UTG+2 AND MP would have to have A2 to be unprofitable. The biggest risk is one of them does and BB 3 bets blowing the other guy out of the pot and leaving you 3-handed. But the pot is big, so probably nobody is folding.
