Hi all,

There are two limps to hero in HJ who make it $125 with AJT73ds A-high J-high hhcc and we go three ways:

($400): QQJr. Checks through.

Turn: 7d brining bdfd. EP limper bets $225, only hero calls. I decide to look him up since flop checked through it looks like no one is interested in the hand but I have some showdown value and am blocking a lot of his full house combos he could be betting for value with my J and 7. Of note, I have seen this V stab paired flops before when it checks through.

River ($850): 8c, bricking the fd but bringing in T9 (which we block). V fires $425. We only need to be good 25% of the time here if we call right? Given this V's propensity to rep these boards should we hero?

Thanks,
DT

Always post stacks. I lean fold on river as played.

Hero mostly beats some nut diamond draw semi-bluffs like akxxx. Some of which included t9 and got there.

I would mix some small cbets on flop with checkback.

Not sure I like the call on the turn.

With everything you said, i think you should call the river. Its 5c plo, not sure if he even bets T9 for value(i doubt people expect a call here from AA,KK,AJ)or leads it on the turn. You unblock diamonds too


But i think a better play would be raising on the Turn to ~750. He will be in a terrible spot with a lot of hands that have a lot of equity vs our hand and we can take down a nice pot without facing a tough decision on a lot of river cards.
Of course i am checking the flop here with some QJ or JJ type hands so we should be balanced enough

just to be clear we are peeling the turn with AJ right? and possibly a flush draw?

fold turn

Is this really a good hand in 5c Omaha? Looks better for O8.

We get a lot of points for having a suited ace and AJT7 is working together nicely. The secondary suit is not to be sneezed at. I wouldn't go so far as to iso a couple of limpers from the HJ with this hand, but I'd probably open it if it were folded to me on the CO. Definitely I would open it on the button.

Yes this is an excellent hand.

What do you think would be the 4 card equivalent? The 3 seems useless.

The 3 is not useless, Hero can make wheel and 7 high straight.

It's not easy to compare 5 card to 4 card hands since playability and raw equity are both different but something like AJT5ds.

Both hands have A blocker, wide broad coverage and respectable equity even when dominated by bigger broadway cards.
