should nerver criticese your self for gambling thats why your playing cards.BUT you ansered the question in one word............IF...........such a small word with a big meaning.......AND kenny rogers said one day you got 2 no when 2 hold them no when 2 fold them no when 2 walk away no when 2 run.BUT its like me IF i could just remember the last time i made day 2 in the APAT tour ;)

I"m sure you know that overcards are, for all intents and purposes, meaningless in Omaha. Do you really always put him on just top pair?

Look at it this way...the turn gives you 12 outs to make a better top pair. He has 11 outs (even if he has all undercards) to hit two pair or better. About even then...of course, that"s player dependent but still.

Basically, you played a naked non-nut flush draw and once he re-popped you on the flop I"d be folding and looking for a better spot....unless you really want to gambool!

As it is, we whiffed the flop...why not check it and re-examine once he"s acted?

I open slightly smaller pre (not as small as I would in NLH but at this level we can def get away with making it ~4900.  Another good reason for this is it controls our c/b size.

Pretty player dependant, but a lot of the time people will just commit with the nfd here otf, esp when they full pot it.  I usually wait for a better spot here when at least have a draw to the nuts, or heaven forbid a pair :) If Im at a tough table that I feel I do not have an advantage over then I might choose to gamble here.  4 overs do not matter as much in plo where its likely if we hit a single pair on the turn it will not be the best hand.

As played, when we have committed 25% of our chips by this stage, we are priced in.  Look on your bet-sizing tho.  PLO is a game where we will be opening a lot of pots.  When we have 30x, we can not open and fold to 3bs too many times.  Controlling our opening size means we are not losing as many chips when we fold to 3bs.  It also lets us stab at pots for cheaper.
