What's the question?
I probably play it the same as you, although I might bet less on the turn.

Sorry what to do on river ? Should I have bet the turn?

I think you are definitely behind here to the AJ or J9 straight.

Whether I'd bet the turn is read dependent on the two other players left. Would one have reraised with the made straight? 50/50 whether I bet or slow down here. One or both is drawing or have the straight, suppose one could have set of tens.

But I think the call on the turn was very strong, you got your answer. I fold the river.

OK, I'll have a bash at an auld Omaha hand, so feel free to ridicule if this is complete sh1te and very possibly wrong on all streets :rolleyes:.

Firstly this hand isn't great for starters, you're going to be out of position you have 3 of a suit, and the straggler of a 3 really reduces the value of the hand. I'd think this is probably a marginal hand to play in general in this position, if I was playing it though I'd be raising Pot.

It's an OK flop for you but not great, there's loads of draws and the chances of someone having a straight in a 5 way pot is huge, if you lead out the chances of you getting re-raised is large by either a straight protecting from a flush draw/set, or from a flush draw with some sort of straight draw or pair, etc. and you'll probably have to be willing to get AI on the flop, and TBH I don't think our hand is strong enough for that, so I think checking would have been better.

On the turn when you were called in 2 spots I think again a check is best the chances of you having the best hand is small IMO especially after getting called in 2 spots and again the chances of you getting raised is large, and I don't think your hand is strong enough to be willing to get AI here either.

On the River as played, I think you can call, I would have expected a made straight to have raised sometime earlier than now and for KKxx to have raised pre-flop.

I'm just bumping this because I'd love to hear if my post above is complete waffle or makes sense...

Seems ok to me. I think you have to call now if your assessment of your opponents play is accurate despite the fact it looks like a cautious J9 will take it. I don't mind the flop bet but I think you could have slowed down on the turn after 2 players called your flop bet.

He bets 60 on the river into a pot of 120 leaving himself what, 17 behind??

Hmmmmmmmmmm....
