Top Set, Draw Heavy Board
 

Just an example of chilling the [censored] out with top set on a draw heavy board where I could easily be a dog on the flop.

A lot of times people get excited and want to "protect" their hand oor think it's the nuts. This also gives an aggessive player to commit himself as a big dog.

I'd still raise the flop, but not pot.

I like to use this move especially when running bad... just take a card off, It's fantastic for deception and metagame...

Villain's turn play doesn't make any sense. Why 1/2 pot if you are going to put it all in? He should have called your raise, then put the pressure on the river when the A fell to complete the str8.

Fortunately for us, people we play against just aren't that good sometimes.

This is only a question not a suggestion since I am a complete Omaha novice.

How can you be an underdog vs villain only on the flop unless he has a huge draw like AhKhTx and it's still close to 50:50
By just calling you give good odds to the other 2 players to call with weaker draws. And if one or both of them call then your position on the turn will be bad.
