If only the straight flush wins for you then you cannot play it as you have been priced out.

He is getting 2:1 with implied odds of taking the villains stack which is 3x the size of his flop bet - AND the SB is out of position. I'm calling - even if its wrong (I am a pot limit/nl fish - not enough experience to know if I am even remotely right).

Looks like a set, don't it? A double-gut draw isn't as big in Omaha as it is in HE, but it's a good draw with the flush cards. Queens will beat a set but lose to broadway, non-club Eights and the A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] give you the nuts on the turn, but a paired board means you're drawing to one card (q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]) on the river.

I wouldn't go crazy with your hand, but the cap prevents you from going crazy, so I'd call. You have the same drawing advantage as if you were all-in (you're guaranteed to see the river) but it doesn't cost you as much if you don't make it. The cap makes this particular hand play differently than normal pot-limit.

But yeah, wrong forum.

If anyone is interested, here's the outcome.

In retrospect it was a bad call since I figured one of them had to have the nut flush draw, but since it was $20 cap I went ahead and called and sucked out on both of them.

After running the odds, though, I discovered that I was actually ahead of the guy with the nut flush draw and both of us were far behind the guy with 2 pair.

Sorry, an Eight loses to QT. Non-nut hand, I still call. Wrong forum. I'm bad at poker.

I agree it looks like he's betting a set, or maybe the nut flush draw. Either way you're not in great shape with 2:1 pot odds, but not terrible either. Of course, there is one other player to act behind you, but he can only overcall giving you 3:1 pot odds, etc etc etc. That's why Omaha just gives me a headache. I came here looking for some simple stud posts and you sick this puppy on us?? lol

p.s. Steve, I thought at first your signature must be someone making an odd joke till I read your profile. Since when did the king of punk producers start playing King high SF draws?

Not playing them, just talking about them. I fold pre-flop. And I'm bad at poker.
