5/5/10
8 handed

UTG(2000) raises to 40, I (1150) call on the button with A

, straddle(400) calls.

(130)
K

straddle checks, UTG checks, I bet 100, call, call

(430)
9

Check, check, I bet 300, straddle calls 260 all in, UTG calls

(1290)(80)
9

UTG checks, I have 700 left...

The issue here is that I can't bluff because of the player all-in and it's hard to find calling hands in UTG range.

What would you do?

If you feel you can't bet big (not sure if that is correct though), you can bet small. I also think you must have some bluffs. Something like a weak K or QQ-TT?

You're absolutely right, I must have some bluffs but they're hard to find.
I can't find any weak king I would play this way before the river.
I have a very few QQ-TT.

(I ended up making an exploitive small bet of 300 on the river)

What is the opponent playing that he can call with and you can beat?

I can't think of much, unless he wants to make a hero call thinking you missed your low draw. And I don't think you bet the turn if all you have is a low draw.

Depends on how bad the players are...at my home game, people fire river bluffs into a dry side pot on a weekly basis. It's utterly bizzarre!

This player raised OOP preflop, so a good chance of having A2, or AA2 or something like that. Is this player going to call a pot sized wager just hoping to chop on the turn, or get quartered or worse?

Again...Omaha is really player dependent.

You’re not bluffing means he’s not trapping. I would bet really small (100-300 depending on villain and history) to try to get heroed by AA/AK

Small bet that makes it seem like a small bluff

Some sort of AK52 Hand bets the river small in the hope of folding out a slightly better marginal high and beating some sort of bricked draw v all in maybe.

FWIW I’ve always leveled myself into thinking people won’t do dumb crap on the river like value bet too thin or bluff into a dry side pot, or call down thin. Then I see them do it time and time again.
