How Not to Commit a Suicide in Omaha Poker Posted by kamassy , under: Omaha Hi Pot Limit, Omaha Poker Hands
Got a real roller-coaster ride in this Omaha Hi Pot Limit Poker hand. You can see my hole cards, loved the 9-10, loved the hearts, but in overall, this is just a throw-me-away hand for my playing style. But, since I was a big blind, I saw the flop for a small raise.
Flop was between my hopes and fears. Two pair, Tens over Fours is consider nothing in Omaha Poker. Only good thing at that moment was a rainbow flop. I was first on the move and just checked, but my only opponent raised a full pot. Originally I thought he has a pocket pair, maybe a set, but nothing more. So I called his bet. Turn card convinced me to see the river, since I now had the same two pair, but with a flush draw as well. I called his pot raise again, fearing the worst. Then the river exploded in my face, leaving me with what I had at the very beginning - darn two pair.
I now have a two pair and two fears - straight anywhere around 4-5-6 and any three of a kind. I decided to fold, but on my surprise, the guy just checked giving me a free river card! Cards were shown and I scooped the pot! OMG.
What was he thinking? If you force pot-raise till the river, you need to nail it afterwards! That way or no way. Sure, he had nothing, but I didn’t know that. With all the raising, I would fold! I even checked the “check/fold” button. So, my best advice and a moral of the story is - if you are raising heavy and it turns bad, kiss your chips and push it till the end.
