I just started playing Omaha and it seems like a lot of fun but there are a few spots I have no clue what I am doing and I wanted your guys opinion.

This first hand we have a little history, I stacked him earlier when I called a rr from him with J7J4ds and flopped a jack. He had T998. I felt that he didn't have a set on this flop so I thought his most likely hand was two pair.

He has to call another 135.


This next hand was interesting because I felt like I knew exactly where both of us were I just had no clue what the proper play was. To the hand, when I reraised I truly had the feeling that he thought I had aces and was playing accordingly. When he didn't raise me on this flop I put him squarely on one pair and for some weird reason I really really thought he hit two pair on the turn.

To the question, if my opponent turns over two pair here what is my play? Do you guys like my bet size? I just had no clue what to do here.

I lead out strong in both cases.

So my c/r in hand 1 is a no-no then?

Yeah I think the cr is a little unnecessary in the first hand unless you think you have a lot of fold equity this way. I'd estimate you will generally make the best hand only like 30 % of the time on the river, so you're not in that fantastic shape.
