Criticised for not folding m omaha tourney hand here
GarethC:
Standard to get it in once you bet. I"d probably check back flop for this reason.
edit:
Good post Marty. I don"t mind minraising preflop though. People still fold, and position is so powerful that you don"t mind if they call. It keeps the pot even smaller meaning you can get away with even smaller c-bets. Any reason you prefer not to?

I have no problem with raising pre-flop if I think it will thin the field significantly but once I basically whiff I"m done with it unless I have a reasonable chance of seeing a cheap turn.
For that reason it is very typical for (most) Omaha players to prefer to limp rather than raise. Not always but it"s more prevalent in Omaha than HE.

I prob min sometimes, with the top of my range vs spewers to induce 3bs and if we can play IP against a passive villain who plays flops badly. In general tho, p/f equity is just so close that I want to control their calling range slightly. I think in a weird psycological way, people fold a really disproportionate amount more when we make it 4900 as opposed to 4k, and at this stage when the average stack is starting to get low and the blinds and antes are so valuable to our stack size, taking down pots pre is a v good result.
In HU cash, I min 95% of buttons vs aggressive 3b"s, but the difference in cash plo vs mtt plo is fffaaaarrrrrrrr greater than cash NLH vs mtt NLH.

This is very much not the case when u move up the levels. PLO has become a very aggressive pre-flop game these days, and to see any decent reg open limp pre is pretty lol. Multi-way pots are not our friend when equitys are so close, Without pfr it just turns into a who runs better game...

Oh, I agree...but "most" PLO players are at the lower levels (as I am)....and a pre-flop raise (at these lower levels) just makes it more likely that the whole hand will become a bingo fest.
