PL Omaha - Folding the nuts on the flop

Holding AdKcTd9c in mid position. There are 5 players in the hand.

Flop comes 6s7h8s.

UTG bets the pot, UTG+1 raises the pot

I fold - right move?

Yeah fold is good.

Unless both are morons... in which case ... PUSH

Btw - it was your duty as a poker player to pot it preflop with that hand ... did ya ?

I'd usually fold in this position, although at the lower limits I might gamble. Stack size and if their are players to act behind also affect the decision.

Of course.

Stack sizes were all similar, about $200 each.

Well whats in the pot then?
How big is it?

I might gamble too if the pot is already big enough.

Pot was $160 or so.

I did consider a gamble, but didn't particularly want to call to find 9TJsQs behind me.

Preflop?
And how much you got left?

ianmc38 · 21-03-2006 10:49am

Preflop was $40 or so. I still have close to $200 behind.

With the flush draw out there it is about 35% hit, a set is about 35% to improve and if there is a wrap or some combination of the three you are not looking good. If it was allin 3way you are not getting enough money to call. Probably not that tough a laydown, unless your a gambler.

What if UTG is betting the bare nut flush draw? And UTG+1 is raising with top set and a small flush draw?

nikorami · 21-03-2006 11:33am

Without the hand be able to improve and the way most play...I don't feel it is worth the $$$. I liken it to mucking KK when an A hits the board. Crappy feeling, but not worth finsing out if someone has an A. IMHO

With two players and the UTG raiser still to act behind me, I'm more worried that I've no redraws and that one or more of the other 4 could be drawing to the nut straight/flush/both, as well as currently sharing the nuts - then I'm rightly fooked.

Strange comparison??!

nikorami · 21-03-2006 1:25pm

calling bets to find out IF he has the A. Thats what I mean.
