Heads up, out of position hands.

[yukoncpa]

Hi, I think this is my first post on the O8 forum

I’m playing Omaha 8 limit, with 5 players. I’m a bit new and have no reads on these players, except that they seem to be the tightest 2-4 O8 players on the web. If I could please get comments on every stage of my play. All hands are Absolute poker 2-4, limit:

Hand 1:

I have AJJ2 ( suits aren’t important here ) on the BB. One player limps UTG, everyone, including the LB folds, I raise, limper calls. Heads up, oop.

Flop is 679 rainbow. I bet. Limper calls.
Turn is Q. I bet. Limper calls
River is K. I check, limper bets, I pay him off with my pair of Jacks, and a missed low.

Hand 2:

I have A7Q3 ace suited with diamonds in the cuttoff. I open raise, button calls, blinds fold. I’m heads up, oop.

Flop is KT2 rainbow

I bet as a bluff, button calls

Turn is 7, board now has 2 diamonds giving me a diamond draw and nut low draw. I bet, button calls.

River is 2, missing me. I figured opponent had something, so I checked and folded to his bet.

Hand 3:

I have A48Q rainbow on the BB. One early limper, everyone else folds, I check.

Flop is A8J with 2 clubs. I bet my 2 pair, out of position into my one opponent. He calls.

Turn is 4 putting 3 clubs on board. I have 3 pair, and no chance at low. I bet. Opponent calls.

River is K putting 4 clubs on board. I check, opponent bets, I call.

hand 1 I think betting is better than c/c but c/f is best

hand 2 I always bet this river he easily can have you on A2xx where xx his the board as well and gold a lot of better hands

hand 3 I c/f turn pots small if he was drawing to anything he got there if he had you beat you still are. Small pot don't bother

i agree with everything except river in hand 2. i don't see how you will fold out better hands. c/f > c/c > b/f. i really don't see a king folding this river, so imo there's more value in check calling missed flush/straight bluffs.

I can see lot of A10WW hands as well as not, also if somehow he his king is no AKxx I can def see him folding this is 2/4 and a tight 2/4 so they may try to save a bet on river when they assume that whatever we had got there outside of AQJ3 if he puts us on real hand whole way.
