check raising these particular top two is a bad idea because a low is possible and there's not many cards other than an A, 6, or Q on the turn that make your hand any better.

lead at it, fine, but dont check raise here.



now, on the turn, i like a check raise if you're sure one of these donkeys will bet.


you now have a two way hand with scoop potential, which, is what you need to be thinking- can i scoop????

Dude, please get this in your head, top two in Omaha 8 is sh1t!!! Most of the time it doesn't hold up.

Check raising the flop is so wrong, your low got counterfeited and there is wheel and straight possibility. Why would you wanna check raise?

Listen to TxRedMan, he is giving good advice. A check raise on the turn would be wise ONLY if you're 100% sure someone is going to bet.

However, since I almost never check raise, I like the bet on the turn. It was the best move. You had a very good low and a nut flush draw. The only low that beats you is 3-4 and it's not very likely someone has it. And if someone does have it, if an A, 6 or diamond falls on the river, you're getting half the pot. It turned out no one had 3-4 so you won the whole pot, nice hand!

That's right! You should've check folded the flop.

Anyways, since you didn't, the turn was a really good card for you.
