Hero ???

The two benefits I see to leading out here are that if two people just made the nut low, I can quarter them, and if no one made the nut low, I may be able to fold out better lows and scoop the pot. My fear is that some [censored] might decide to shove with just the nut low, and I really don't want to call an all in hoping to split.

In a fairly small multiway pot, worse high hands than mine probably aren't betting even if it is checked all the way around to them, but could interpret my bet as a nut low that just got there and decide to call a smallish bet in the hopes of splitting. However, they could easily still have a better low and split the other way.

The river will very likely be checked around unless someone made the nut low, in which case there may be a substantial bet that I will have to call. So maybe leading out could be a sort of blocking bet to get a cheap showdown against the nut low and also occasionally a bluff to chase out better non-nut lows? But do I fold to a push, and if so, do I want to lead out in the first place?

3rd nuts*

That's all I have to say on the matter as I suck at omaha.

ya, 3rd nuts. 85 is way more likely than T8 tho...unless its AT82, which would be pretty sexy.

i still go broke i thinks. mainly because you can't fold to raises when its most likely a bunch of lows considering the flop/turn action. but, like i said, something like A258 just got there good.

i c/c up to 1/2 of pot here. I dont like leading out because people with lows will re-pot it and force you to fold this. Your hand is very weak and any bet will get raise her IMO. Therefore, I play this very cautiously and call if no1 else has called before me. If so I throw it away and move on to the next hand.
