A Few Omaha Hands

[AshleyC 0]

I've been a NLH player for the most part but first learnt poker playing limit / O8. I've read lots on Omaha (SS2, Rolf's articles etc) and watched the cardrunners PLO videos with the itent on taking it up. I've played it the last couple of nights and have been absolutely loving it. What a refreshing change from multi-tabling NLH on auto-pilot. I've been playing low-limts HA games (PLH/PLO rotation) on Full-Tilt. I've been running obscenely well which has also made it extremely enjoyable but I do find myself in numerous situations where I'm not sure of the best play. Sorry if there are too many but here are a few hands tonight which I was unsure about. Beware, there may be some folds / calls that are horrendous here Hand 1: FullTiltPoker Game #1437876948: Table Boris (6 max) - $0.10/$0.25 - Pot Limit Omaha - 15:12:57 ET - 2006/12/19 Seat 1: Dannyqueens ($6.90) Seat 2: BenDangeRuss ($13.30) Seat 3: Brizzle Brez ($20.35) Seat 4: toohigh305 ($26.40) Seat 5: All Chin ($56.40) Seat 6: Evangelin ($20.15) BenDangeRuss posts the small blind of $0.10 Brizzle Brez posts the big blind of $0.25 The button is in seat #6 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to All Chin [8s Ac Ah Kh] toohigh305 calls $0.25 All Chin raises to $1.10 Evangelin folds BenDangeRuss calls $1 Brizzle Brez folds toohigh305 calls $0.85 *** FLOP *** [3h 9s Jh] BenDangeRuss checks toohigh305 checks All Chin bets $3.55 BenDangeRuss folds toohigh305 raises to $11.75 All Chin has 15 seconds left to act All Chin folds Call or fold? I cannot see him making this move with one pair, and he is essentially all in here, so no implied odds. Hand2: FullTiltPoker Game #1437928025: Table Ladue (6 max) - $0.10/$0.25 - Pot Limit Omaha - 15:24:17 ET - 2006/12/19 Seat 1: Minnie-n-Me ($10) Seat 2: LuvlyJubbly ($79.20) Seat 3: All Chin ($25.85) Seat 4: DjRivers ($28.50) Seat 5: gfunkralph ($6.85), is sitting out Seat 6: toohigh305 ($55.50) LuvlyJubbly posts the small blind of $0.10 All Chin posts the big blind of $0.25 The button is in seat #1 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to All Chin [5d 7d Tc Jh] DjRivers folds toohigh305 folds Minnie-n-Me raises to $0.50 LuvlyJubbly folds All Chin calls $0.25 *** FLOP *** [4h 8s 7h] All Chin checks Minnie-n-Me bets $0.55 All Chin calls $0.55 *** TURN *** [4h 8s 7h] [9h] All Chin checks Minnie-n-Me checks *** RIVER *** [4h 8s 7h 9h] [Kd] All Chin checks Minnie-n-Me bets $1.40 All Chin calls $1.40 I make a straight on the turn but the flush also comes, should I bet the turn, if I am raised it is absolute insta-fold (i think so but may be wrong). Should I bet the river, or would I ONLY get called by a worse hand, should I check call, as I did, or even check fold as 3 hearts on board. Hand 3: FullTiltPoker Game #1437956025: Table Ladue (6 max) - $0.10/$0.25 - Pot Limit Omaha - 15:30:23 ET - 2006/12/19 Seat 1: Minnie-n-Me ($27.55) Seat 2: LuvlyJubbly ($94.20) Seat 3: All Chin ($23.65) Seat 4: Tdizo ($24.75) Seat 5: gfunkralph ($6.85), is sitting out Seat 6: toohigh305 ($50.90) Tdizo posts the small blind of $0.10 toohigh305 posts the big blind of $0.25 The button is in seat #3 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to All Chin [Ts As Ks Ad] Minnie-n-Me calls $0.25 LuvlyJubbly folds All Chin calls $0.25 Tdizo calls $0.15 toohigh305 checks *** FLOP *** [4c 7c 5s] Tdizo checks toohigh305 checks Minnie-n-Me bets $0.50 All Chin folds Tdizo folds toohigh305 calls $0.50 *** TURN *** [4c 7c 5s] [2h] toohigh305 checks gfunkralph stands up Minnie-n-Me bets $2 toohigh305 calls $2 *** RIVER *** [4c 7c 5s 2h] [Jc] toohigh305 checks Minnie-n-Me bets $6 toohigh305 calls $6 *** SHOW DOWN *** Minnie-n-Me shows [Ac 3c 2d 4s] (a flush, Ace high) toohigh305 mucks Minnie-n-Me wins the pot ($17.10) with a flush, Ace high How often is AA a raise (always, mostly?) I remember Lyle Berman in SS saying that it's best NOT to raise in EP as position is SO important in PLO. The flop sucks for my hand and I'm probably a dog to a draw, should I see the turn though? Hand 4: FullTiltPoker Game #1438148764: Table Ladue (6 max) - $0.10/$0.25 - Pot Limit Omaha - 16:10:55 ET - 2006/12/19 Seat 2: LuvlyJubbly ($92.95) Seat 3: All Chin ($25.55) Seat 4: psshaw-psshaw ($10.80) Seat 5: aarongiants ($19.90) Seat 6: toohigh305 ($42.25) LuvlyJubbly posts the small blind of $0.10 All Chin posts the big blind of $0.25 The button is in seat #6 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to All Chin [Jd Jc Ts Kc] psshaw-psshaw raises to $0.85 aarongiants calls $0.85 toohigh305 calls $0.85 LuvlyJubbly folds All Chin calls $0.60 *** FLOP *** [9c Ac Tc] All Chin checks psshaw-psshaw bets $3.50 aarongiants folds toohigh305 folds All Chin calls $3.50 *** TURN *** [9c Ac Tc] [4c] All Chin checks psshaw-psshaw bets $6.45, and is all in All Chin calls $6.45 psshaw-psshaw shows [As 5d 4s Ah] All Chin shows [Jd Jc Ts Kc] *** RIVER *** [9c Ac Tc 4c] [3c] psshaw-psshaw shows three of a kind, Aces All Chin shows a flush, Ace high All Chin wins the pot ($22.25) with a flush, Ace high An absolute peach of a flop, but the best way to extract (I know not to go broke if the board pairs)? Hand 5: FullTiltPoker Game #1438147453: Table Boris (6 max) - $0.10/$0.25 - Pot Limit Omaha - 16:10:38 ET - 2006/12/19 Seat 1: joe95 ($0), is sitting out Seat 2: the sketch ($27.85) Seat 3: BenDangeRuss ($51.95) Seat 4: toohigh305 ($25) Seat 5: All Chin ($40.25) Seat 6: Evangelin ($45.70) the sketch posts the small blind of $0.10 BenDangeRuss has 5 seconds left to act BenDangeRuss stands up BenDangeRuss has timed out toohigh305 posts the big blind of $0.25 The button is in seat #1 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to All Chin [Jc 2s Ac As] All Chin raises to $0.85 joe95 adds $25 joe95 has returned Evangelin folds the sketch calls $0.75 toohigh305 calls $0.60 *** FLOP *** [7s Qd 4s] the sketch checks toohigh305 bets $2 All Chin calls $2 the sketch calls $2 *** TURN *** [7s Qd 4s] [5c] the sketch checks toohigh305 checks All Chin bets $8.55 the sketch folds toohigh305 calls $8.55 *** RIVER *** [7s Qd 4s 5c] [6d] toohigh305 checks All Chin checks *** SHOW DOWN *** All Chin shows [Jc 2s Ac As] (a pair of Aces) toohigh305 shows [Qh 2d 4h 3h] (a straight, Seven high) toohigh305 wins the pot ($24.40) with a straight, Seven high I'm sure that I played this hand badly, should I fold/call/raise flop, check/bet/fold turn? I think call flop, fold turn right? Hand 6: FullTiltPoker Game #1438234989: Table Boris (6 max) - $0.10/$0.25 - Pot Limit Omaha - 16:28:41 ET - 2006/12/19 Seat 1: joe95 ($25.15) Seat 2: the sketch ($21.15) Seat 3: NoNutSense ($8.20) Seat 4: toohigh305 ($43.90) Seat 5: All Chin ($29.20) Seat 6: Evangelin ($43.90) Evangelin posts the small blind of $0.10 joe95 posts the big blind of $0.25 The button is in seat #5 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to All Chin [4s Ks As Qd] the sketch folds NoNutSense folds toohigh305 raises to $0.85 All Chin raises to $2.90 Evangelin folds joe95 has 15 seconds left to act joe95 calls $2.65 toohigh305 calls $2.05 *** FLOP *** [Tc Jc 7s] joe95 checks toohigh305 checks All Chin checks *** TURN *** [Tc Jc 7s] [Ah] joe95 checks toohigh305 checks All Chin bets $8.80 joe95 folds toohigh305 folds Uncalled bet of $8.80 returned to All Chin All Chin mucks All Chin wins the pot ($8.40) Is this too LAG on the button with such a hand? Do I always check that flop? Hand 7: FullTiltPoker Game #1438349107: Table Boris (6 max) - $0.10/$0.25 - Pot Limit Omaha - 16:51:51 ET - 2006/12/19 Seat 1: joe95 ($32.35) Seat 2: the sketch ($26.55) Seat 3: NoNutSense ($0), is sitting out Seat 4: boostedgti ($25.65) Seat 5: All Chin ($32.65) Seat 6: Evangelin ($50.90) Evangelin posts the small blind of $0.10 joe95 posts the big blind of $0.25 The button is in seat #5 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to All Chin [7h 6h Ks Qs] the sketch calls $0.25 boostedgti calls $0.25 All Chin calls $0.25 Evangelin calls $0.15 joe95 checks *** FLOP *** [2h 7d Qc] Evangelin bets $1.25 joe95 folds the sketch folds boostedgti folds All Chin calls $1.25 *** TURN *** [2h 7d Qc] [3d] Evangelin bets $3.75 All Chin has 15 seconds left to act All Chin folds Is this too loose a button limp? Best way to play flop / turn? Also are the HA games much, much softer than the straight PLO games? I'm much prefering the PLO games but don't want to switch to PLO if I'll lose value and be a fish Also what is considered a good VPIP/PFR% for both 6 max and full ring?Many questions and there are lots of hands here even if you reply to only one it'd be appreciated.

I can't see what is what you should make a different thread for each hand mate.
