O8 Hand - Tough flop decision

ianmc38

PokerStars 1/2 Full Ring Omaha Hi/Lo

Effective stacks are 250. Both vilains cover me and are the only two at the table who I've tried not to tangle with as they both appear to have a good knowledge of the game.

After some limpers, I make it 10 from mid position with Ah2hKc3c. 5 callers.

Flop (50)

Villain 1 UTG pots, I call. Villain 2 repots and villain 1 goes all-in.

Is this an easy fold or an easy call?

Flushdraw

IMO this is a fold. I'd only ever call such large bets against 2 opponents if i think i can scoop the pot. Realistically one of your opponents also has 2 3 for the nut low and theres the nut diamond draw and maybe a set out there. I think the most likely outcome is you quarter the pot and lose money overall

I also have the nut high at the moment.

Why the fúck would you fold here? You have backdoor flush and house outs too. This is an instant call, not one of those fold the nuts moments.

Maybe its just my fear of being outdrawn all the time....

Yep, I would call here too.

Bandana boy

this is an easy call
I would start calling for clubs about now as well

Possible worst case scenario you're up against someone with the same straight + flush draw, and someone with a bare set.

Neutral EV.

I don't think either of the villains can have those hands, call anyway. You are splitting in at least one place. But there is a lot in the pot.

this has to be a joke - easy call!

lol.

Surprsingly, I did indeed call.

One had 2x3x6d7d.
The other had A4xdxd.

The turn was a sweet offsuit 3 and the river was an even sweeter diamond. One of the players in the hand insisted that I should have folded the flop as it was obvious I was only playing for at best half the pot while being freerolled for the other half.

I just thought I'd post it here to see if I was a as big a donk as he said...

InstaCall, even if you only quarter the pot, you still get this $150 back, why would anyone fold here???

Yeah i'm such a donk at times. Youve already invested 60 in the pot and have 190 back. Even if u quarter the pot, worse case scenario, u still get 187 back.

Add me to ur buddies list, i'm easy money

Standard of 1-2 Hi-Lo on stars must have taken a serious jump of late then
