I don't really mind your play. I don't play a whole lot of Omaha but that was a great flop for your hand, two high cards... and top set. Your bet into the 800 chip pot of 600 was a tad low... I might have made it 800-1000 but maybe not. I think that was fine too.

I really like the turn shove. You certainly still have the best hand but you don't really want to see the river and you don't want a cheap draw at the low now. I may be wrong but he's probably putting himself on having 24 cards for the low. There are 44 unknown... so he's got 6-5 on the low draw... but, and this is a big but... it's only to half the pot. 4211 for 2211 if he wins but 2105 for the split... which isn't enough... it might be enough if he considers the cards that give him the straight... 8 of them... as certain to scoop... but he can't be sure you don't have A-2 which would make half of those a chop as well...

Dang, now I'm all confused. I don't like his call because it's a tournament situation... but he might have had the odds for it... if he was sure that you didn't have A-2-x-x... so that he would almost certainly have the low... and possibly scoop.

This is probably why I don't play much Omaha.

LOL thanks, i think. thats what im saying, he's calling a big bet on a chance at HALF the pot! then, if i have A2 he may be just........... yeah you're right! simply put, I think that hand fell in line with the jokerstars donkey rewards program.

Unfortunately this is what happens in 1 buck tourneys man. Even in plo/plo8b tourneys up to 10 bucks my pholosophy is bet pot unless i have the nuts even than i still do it 99% of the time. IUf you give donks an inch they take a mile!!!!

[stoffmakers]

[iceveins0901]

he was apparently trying to draw at half the pot and caught lucky with the 2
