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?
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.

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.

Its pretty important to the development of ur (or ne1 else playing these stakes) game that you dnt just conform to the standard and have a limp-fest. Any skill advantage is negated and it will allow bad habits to creep into your game.
Edit: I would rather swell pots pre when we have the best hand, than play a "he who hits, wins" game.

At the micro limits if you limp you might get 4 callers
If you"d raised, you"d still get 4 callers - you might have swelled the pot when you have the best hand (you might be 17% favourite instead of 15% for example) - but how is this not going to still just go down to "he who hits, wins" (barring the circumstances where you"re up against such weak players that you can steal the pot even if they do hit)
NAKED you should never gambool NAKED youl get a terrible draft or a terrible whiffed :-[ :-[.......paulie-d your spelling is terrabol
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?
