Juicy Plo Hand?

[Tantalar 0]

we are playing Pot limit omaha high in a home game. Im dealt 97J8 which obviously is a pretty good starting hand. Now while I am only suited one way I do have position. Anyway, some agressive player raises it up the POT and I call, having position on him. Everyone else folds. the flop comes an innocent little 742 with two diamonds, giving me top pair with 3 overcards and a jack high flush draw. He makes a standard continuation bet. I re bet 3/4 of that pot, he thinks for less than 2 seconds and says all in. He only had a few more dollars left so I called it. Question 1) Is this a good flop for our hand in most situations?Question 2) what do you put the player on, who is going all in and raised pre flop, with that sort of a flop.Question 3) In your opinion is this generally a + EV situation to go all in with my hand on this flop, in a shorthanded (5 players) situation?

Doesn't look like a great hand for us here.Player who made it pot, con bet then comes over the top of us prob has us pretty crushed, as in aa w/ the diamond draw leaving us to a two pair draw FTW.I am in no way a plo pro, but that's how this plays out to me, top pair and overs when top pair is 7, is not as nice in plo.1) I don't think it's a great flop. Top pair is rarely good w/ that action, j high flush draw is only possibly good and no other draws = not a great board.2) As stated, AA w/ the diamond draw.3) -EV.Interested to see other views though.

Yeah definatly seems like AA to me. You've invested quite a bit of money in the pot already so I probly make the call here and hope he doesn't have the A high draw as well and if he doesn't then you have a lot of outs.

You have top pair and nothing more. Not good in PLO. You either win a small pot or lose a huge one. I probably would've folded or flat called and see whether he gets squirmish.

1) It is not a very good flop for aour hand. If you really want to play this hand just call flop and look to hit two pair or trips. Don't go broke on J high flush.2)I put him on an overpair. That's a pretty harmless flop for a heads up pot. 3)Don't go all in with one pair no draws.

He actually had AAKK DS with the nut flush draw, which left me around 22% to suckout on him, obviously not good. Considering that he is agressive and it is 5 handed, I figure that I am toast if he has 77,44,22 or an overpair with a higher flush draw. Those are the only 4 hands that have me beat as I am roughly 60% versus ONLY an overpair, having two pair, trips and flush outs. Id say about 90% of the time its standard that anyone who plays in my game makes a continuation bet regardless of the flop (thanks to doyle). With this in mind, he is going to bet with virtually any hand post flop. All things considered, I thought the odds of him having one of the four hand types which I mentioned would be very unlikely, when you consider the chance that my bet will get him to fold anything other than an overpair with the higher flush draw, or a set, I feel that my play is justified. I play a lot of PLO/LO8/PLO8 so I understand the game a great deal... can you guys really just put him on a monster hand like that though? Its not like he was playing tight, or passive after the flop.

C-betting everytime in omaha is just spewing in my opinon. It has its place and time like everything else in poker.

in omaha, only draw to the nuts. A pair is never good. you are looking for a str8 with this hand, if you don't make it, get out.
