Omaha River Decision

<< < (3/3)

AMRN:
Yeah - hardly ever gonna 3b from the SB... it just makes the post flop play unnecessarily expensive out of position, and therefore the decisions are much harder and mistakes are a lot more expensive I"m not saying I will never play oop - but if I"m putting myself in that spot, I would prefer to keep the pot smaller to minimise risk.  PLO is not like NLHE in this instance - in NLHE, the 3b from the blinds is usually designed to try and take the pot down there and there.... in PLO that will never happen.

In the first hand, no probs entering the pot with the hand given that you have draws to a strong set and nut flush - might 3b with position though to take the initiative.  Suspect I would probably bet the flop with the overpair once the original raiser has checked - gotta make the most of the power of position. Don"t mind the call on the turn with 2 pair.    However, given that we"ve called on the turn, how often does the other guy think he will be able to get a bluff through on the river, unless he puts us quite specifically on a missed draw.... therefore, I don"t see your two pair hand being good here much of the time, and I fold to the river bet.
