[bigmac366]

i'm in the small blind with 4456 (56 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img])

4 of us see a flop of Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

i bet $4 and get called by only the button....

Bet stronger on turn. Bet fold is good line.

fold is fine. its very hard for him to bluff in this spot

oh well, you play home game. there is so much "bluffer" so you have to look his image. ask him smth like "ORLY?? DO U HAV ANY GOOD HAND?" this question is so stupid but can make a lot of info based of his reaction.

so far you hvnt invested too much to be commited, and if you have no reads you better fold.

SURLY IF YOUR WRITTING a post about a home game, and want some serious and genuine advice from us,, you can PROVIDE SOME KIND OF A READ ON YOU MATE/BUDDY(i'm aussie so i'll stick to mate)...

given no read whatsoever, you can do nothing but fold and wait for much better spots to commit half your stack!!!

I fold without a fantastic read or some great reason to call, like this was his first time playing PLO or he just came up on acid.

Without reads this is a super easy fold.

You are likely to see A6XX, Q6XX, or a 6XXX where one of the X is higher than 5.

dont get me wrong... i did very clearly say this is a fold....however i;ve been to quite a few home games, and theres nothing ppl love to do then to show a big crazy bluff on a friend, especially in an omaha game, they really do get pshyco...

i know there are many of my friends when playing in my 10 cent 20 cent homes games, where i wouldnt fold this hand in a million billion years....

against any semi-compotent player, who isnt over hyper mega aggresive, i.e. loves nothing more then to show at any opportunity, this is a clear fold

You'd need a very solid read against a pretty bad player to call here. I don't see that above, so fold.
