What a beauty of a river. I feel like I can beat most of the hands that would fold to a bluff, whereas someone being tricky with a set will clean me out. Would anybody consider bluffing that river in a higher stakes game?

Never, ever, EVER bluff in low stakes PLO. EVER.

That said, fold this trash preflop.

You shouldn't have seen the flop at all, fold it. I didn't even read the hand, just your starting cards. What do you expect to make with this hand? The best realistic hand is a queen-high flush, and I wouldn't be to excited about that.

Both of the above are correct, but you are correct in theory. The time for a successful bluff in Omaha or O8 is when the nut type changes You are watching for people to speed up or slow down here, to know whether you can pull off a bluff. But it won't work is small stakes, and you shouldn't be playing this censored anyway.

Yeah, I look back at this and wonder why I didn't fold the hand. I was way too loose before, and now I wouldn't even think of bluffing in PLO. Thanks for the feedback.

or maybe because you were in the small blind and it was 15 more cents to call?

I don't mind you calling in the SB, but your semibluff on the flop was terrible. (Someone could of called drawing to a higher flush, someone could call drawing to a higher straight, they could have trips so if you make your hand and the board pairs they could have a full house. You basically needed a 5 to have the nuts in which case it could be chopped. You should of definately checked on the flop.) You shouldn't bluff in omaha in any stakes on the internet though.

SB call (only 0.15 with lots of limpers) is questionable, but forgivable.

Your flop bet is silly.

Your turn bet is just plain dumb.

Betting on the river is a waste of your money.

It worked, and I did take the pot, but it wasn't worth the risk. Bluffing is bad, mmk?

it worked that one time. Try it 1000 times, then see how you did. 8)
