$25 PLO8

Preflop: econ_tim is UTG+1 with [K A 2 Q ]
UTG limps, econ_tim calls, 1 fold, CO calls, 1 fold, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($1.25) [K Q Q ]
UTG checks, econ_tim . . .

This is pretty rare, but I'm a virtual lock on this flop. I guess I have to check to let others catch up?

if it was limit omaha, i bet this because flush and wrap draws and q-x and k-x will be calling anyway.

in this game, anything less than a pot bet usually looks suspicious, so i check this i think.

Definitely a check. At PLO25 you are bound to get chasers, esp. with a two flush on the flop. Let em' come at you and make em pay.

that guy who played the pocket kings in the other recent post has you beat.

Hmm...although you have a monster hand
you are far from a "lock". What happens if an ace falls?
Under fulls are crap in this game. The other guy who
mentioned pocket kings was on the right track I think.

Bet the pot, don't slow play vulnerable hands.

Like the other guy said, people will pay to chase hands
in omaha. Make them do just that.

If an A falls, we still have 3rd nuts, and for the most part, at this level, AAxx raises preflop. Check it here, see what happens. You may not be getting anything more out of this anyways.

Well said Kendren. I see that you have a strong grasp of the concept of effective nuts.

Paradoxically, if we held KK, we would characterize AQ as the as the FOURTH nuts, behind QQ, AA, and our KK. But since we have the Q in our hand, we can adjust our nut concepts.

I am an expert on nut-rankings. Anyhow, I bet the flop. Any fool with a Q is going to stick around. PLO players are bad.

Fold preflop.

Pot this here, fold to a raise.

good luck.

Are you that worried about KK?

Are you that worried about KK?


Hard to imagine what else re-raises. If AQ reraises here, he's going to make me rich later on, he can have this one.

good luck.
