It turned out I'm way ahead. But since we don't know his cards, is there a better line here, like check-calling or leading out?

I personally would like a lead. Don't play HU SNGS but I would wouldn't want to let A2/A3 xx put pressure on me (I would think there isn't alot of raising preflop in $5 HU PLO8 games so any raise i would think would be AAxx or A2xx) I'd rather put pressure on him. I'd lead and if called, I'd probably bet this turn card very hard. If you get called you have a ton of outs in any direction for chops or scoops.

I personally don't have anything positive to contribute to your hand, as I suck at Omaha [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] But I find it strangely refreshing to see a game other than "NL holdem" posted here in this particular forum, i.e. HU poker. I'd love to see some 7-stud hands as well, and maybe some limit holdem hands. Heck, maybe I'll post some? I don't play them regularly, but change is always nice.

You're in the 25-50 level so a lot depends on whether you've determined his style to be up to this point. If he's shown to be a tight solid player I like a check call on the flop better. If he's an aggro donkey your play is fine. Good job on the win.

Not to hijack your thread, but does anyone know why stars and tilt won't add $500 o8 heads up considering they already have them for regular omaha. I've emailed them and know a few other players have but no results.
