just c/r or b3b the ai on the flop but this is ok as well. c/f turn is out of the question when you pick up the club draw as well.

Re: Calling pot bet with NFD + pair?
 

It's awful. You're a superpassive nit. C/r flop, lead flop, lead turn, w/e, you're not always up against top set ffs. There exists this concept within poker of fold equity whereby you sometimes bet without the best hand or the nuts even.

Re: Calling pot bet with NFD + pair?
 

I am not superpassive. I just don't know hand values that well. I thought I most likely was up against a high pair and didn't know how good my hand is against that

If he has a high pair, lets see the odds:
Best case for him, he has AAxx, and is blocking your club redraw:

pokenum -o ah 4h 5c 7c - ad ac 3d 9d -- 5h jh 2c
Omaha Hi: 820 enumerated boards containing 2c Jh 5h
cards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EV
7c 5c Ah 4h 506 61.71 309 37.68 5 0.61 0.620
Ac Ad 9d 3d 309 37.68 506 61.71 5 0.61 0.380

Turn:

pokenum -o ah 4h 5c 7c - ad ac 3d 9d -- 5h jh 2c 9c
Omaha Hi: 40 enumerated boards containing 9c 2c Jh 5h
cards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EV
7c 5c Ah 4h 22 55.00 18 45.00 0 0.00 0.550
Ac Ad 9d 3d 18 45.00 22 55.00 0 0.00 0.450

So you are ahead in both cases if he has a good overpair with one of your draws. If he has a set:

If he has some kind of retarded 2 pair with something like JT45

I've never seen the odds be exactly the same when they didn't have the same hand; anyway, unless he has a set you are good, if he has an overpair you are ahead, if he has 2 pair you are slightly behind on the flop, but even on the turn. If he won't fold any of those hands, then c/c is fine I think, but since he'll probably fold some of them you should c/r ai on the flop.

Re: Calling pot bet with NFD + pair?
 

I prefer a raise on the flop but a call is not a horrible play either. Def lead out or c/r all in on the turn and then hit the river of course.

Re: Calling pot bet with NFD + pair?
 

i think all has already been said, but especially in a cap game where the most u can lose is 30BB, there is no way that you dont check raise shove that flop, you are never below 40%, which means u have odds for anything, and who knows may even ge him to fold his two pair, which adds massive value to that play.!!!

Even it isn't capped (say 100BB stacks), he should be check raising pot on the flop. The cap makes it mandatory.
