Re: LO8: Top pair, nut flush draw and 1 blocker
Omaha is not my game either, but I think the issue of the river call is a general poker question...
The CO is utilizing his positional advantage with his river bet. Sure he may have something, but he may not. You are getting almost 6:1 on your call, and his only likely hand to win is another T
On the flop if he had broadway, two pair, or a set (and position in a shorthanded pot) he almost certainly would have raised you, if not on the flop then on the turn. Just calling says to me straight draw, straight draw w/ a pair, or an Ace (w/ king kicker or worse). Also, with position, he knows that he has some chance of taking the pot away if you slow down later in the hand.
You can beat most of those hands. Sure he might have a Ten, or a boat, I guess, but it seems unlikely, and it is cheap to find out.
My question for the forum is this - Preflop raise w/ this hand in early position (in what seems to be a fairly tight game)?
