PLO 1O , Third flush card on turn, checked to me
Sorry for the mostly unconverted hand history, I could not find a converter that works for Omaha full tilt, had to improvise.
When checked to me on the turn should I be betting? Or take the free card and try to get a full house? I was quite confused when the flush card came and they both checked. Any help would be appreciated. FullTiltPoker Game #3959211786: Table Saylor (6 max) - $0.05/$0.10 - Pot Limit Omaha Hi - 0:41:06 ET - 2007/10/25 Seat 1: SB ($12.20) Seat 2: BB ($9.25) Seat 3: UTG ($1.60) Seat 4: HERO ($13) Seat 5: CO ($22.25) Seat 6: Button ($12.75) SB posts the small blind of $0.05 BB posts the big blind of $0.10 The button is in seat #6 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to HERO Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] UTG calls $0.10 HERO calls $0.10 CO calls $0.10 Button folds SB calls $0.05 BB checks *** FLOP *** [Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] SB has 15 seconds left to act SB bets $0.50 BB calls $0.50 UTG folds HERO raises to $2.50 CO folds SB has 15 seconds left to act SB calls $2 BB calls $2 *** TURN *** [Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] [A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] SB checks BB checks Hero? |

Check behind. Betting will only fold out hands that you beat, and you will get check-raised by a flush.

I would not have raised on the flop because the board poses straight and flush draws. Check the turn

The first rule of poker is to put more money in the pot when you are ahead. On the flop hero is ahead of both villians, raising is always correct here. With position on the villians hero can play optimally on all streets.

The best way to do this is by raising on this flop. If hero pots flop, he will be able to get most of his money in on a favorable turn. But unfortunately, this turn sucks. I agree with chucky that checking behind on the turn is good. |

[/ QUOTE ] I think you've misunderstood the concept of the free card. Although the SB has already put some money in on the flop before you act, you are currently ahead and to beat you he has to improve. If you don't raise the flop he's seeing the turn for no more than he's already put in the pot. It's still a free card even though there has been betting. |
