Stu,

I"m pretty much done with this hand on the flop...unless you have a monster read on the villain. You have no draw and a bare overpair.

Nothing wrong with the flop bet but once he calls that I"m going to let him make the running and check and see if he bets.

He"s called you all the way and at the end you have a lousy 2 pair.

The average winging hand in Omaha is trips and you have less that that.

Easy fold.

OK, so any thoughts on what his hand may be Paulie?
Very interested in your deeper thoughts on this, as you are a good PLO player, i will post up some of the discussion I had on facebook for folks to have a look at.

MintTrav:
I don"t get it Stu - you"ve got nothing much.

I"m interested to know why you say this is "a really interesting hand". Is it because you have the blocker to the nut flush? The board pairing has removed that as an interest.

More because I think it is interesting to think about what hands the villain is likely to have in this situation.

Its all well and good people jsut posting "fold" or "your hand is ****" but nobody seems to think about what hands people are likely to turn up with in this spot, and the thoguht processes that people can go though to help make different decisions.
