Fairly Basic Omaha Hand

DeadParrot

Im sitting at the table a while up a few quid.
The two villains in question are fairly ok....malle2594 doubled through a few mins ago plays AA super aggressive preflop vs an idiots underpair rag rag
My question is should I take this gamble and if not, am I playing above my stakes, playing with scared money?

you've only 1/8 ish of your stack in in a 3 way pot that you are definately behind - probably last at the moment - your hand is kinda nice, at least you have a nut draw...i suppose if you feel like a gamble call - but you need to get lucky

the correct answer is fold - it doesn't come into it if you are playing above your comfort zone - it's purely a gamble and you are an underdog

(i'd call if i was running hot, fold if i wasn't)

exactly,

everyone loves a triple up but any pocket pair of your cards will beat you, any flush even with your queen high, all you have is a good straight draw.
therefore i say, call.
i know you did and i know you won, but you technically should have folded.
that is my last knowitall advice for this month, especially in Omabingoha

Flipper

Snapfold. I might call with a rundown hand here thou... (5678ds etc)

kryogen

very easy fold imo, as fliper sed id much rather have a 5678 or a 6789 type hand in this situation... callin here is actually very poor with so little invested in the pot. u will almost certainly be up against blockers for ur nut str8 draw also....ud have to get pretty lucky to win wich i assume u did!

ianmc38

instafold. as flipper said, id be much happier sticking it in with 5678. its an awful spot to do anything other than fold your hand.

PokerPissTaker

Instafold dito on the 5678 would prefer in this situ

Lafortezza

Make the A into the Ah and I'd think a bit longer.

Fold quickly

DeadParrot

Glad everyone agrees.
I folded. The reason for the whole scared money thing is I recently took a heavy drunken downswing and am only getting back up there now. I knew I was behind, I just wasnt sure how much. $1/$2 Omaha has a terrible (read profitable) standard on ipoker. It was quite possible I was up against QQxx or less. malle's play up to this point prompted the fold (Telegraphed his hand in my opinion) and I suppose I've got a bit of results based thinking but I was wondering actually how far I was behind.

1 fold, DonkeyBrain moves all-in for 123.22.

Flop (729.50) 3 3 J

Turn (729.50) T

River (729.50) K

malle2504 shows J A 7 A
DonkeyBrain shows 6 K 5 2

malle2504 wins 729.50 with Two pair, Ace's and Three's with a King for a kicker

DeadParrot

as I said some terrible standards
