So here's a weird spot I found myself in. Just wanting to talk it out and check my thought process. I called knowing I was up against a set 99.9% of the time here, just to see the percentages in PT4 and get a feel for this spot.

PokerBros - $0.2 Ante $0.04 PL Hi (6 max) - Omaha Hi - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (UTG): 100 BB
CO: 136.9 BB
BTN: 103.1 BB
SB: 150.8 BB
BB: 285.4 BB

5 players post ante of 0.2 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.5 BB) Hero has 8 6 5 7

Hero raises to 4.5 BB, CO calls 4.5 BB, BTN calls 4.5 BB, fold, BB calls 3.5 BB

Flop: (19.5 BB, 4 players) 2 7 5
BB checks, Hero bets 14.5 BB, CO raises to 29 BB, BTN raises to 98.4 BB and is all-in, fold, Hero calls 80.8 BB and is all-in, CO calls 69.4 BB

Turn: (311.6 BB, 3 players) A

River: (311.6 BB, 3 players) 8

Spoiler:
Hero shows 8 6 5 7 (Two Pair, Eights and Sevens)

Main Pot [305.4 BB]: (Pre 23%, Flop 23%, Turn 31%)

CO shows 6 3 4 9 (Straight, Nine High)

Main Pot [305.4 BB]: (Pre 28%, Flop 30%, Turn 47%)
Side Pot#1 [6.2 BB]: (Pre 38%, Flop 46%, Turn 78%)

BTN shows Q 7 8 7 (Three of a Kind, Sevens)

Main Pot [305.4 BB]: (Pre 50%, Flop 46%, Turn 22%)
Side Pot#1 [6.2 BB]: (Pre 62%, Flop 54%, Turn 22%)

CO wins 305 BB
Rake paid 6.6 BB


Now that I had a chance to think about it, if we're up against a set, does it matter if it's top set or not? I know one of our outs is gone. Not sure on this point. For some reason, the c-all-in in PT4 wasn't that bad in this spot, even though the percentages look like it should have been. Just trying to learn some of these tricky spots that come up. Thanks again guys!

You’d prefer it if V had middle or bottom set because you’d be drawing live to more boat outs. Against top set none of the board pairs out draw V. This is a clear fold on the flop.

That's what I figured, thank you.

Like Dumbo says it is a fold. If they both have a set we have 30% which is basically best case for us. As soon as CO has a hand like the one he has our equity starts to nosedive

CO could easily have a higher wrap which wrecks us

Ehh, i snap this off most of the time. Villains should have plenty of non-sets this action.

Vs a nit we can fold
