Party Poker Omaha Hand

Lafortezza

Table was fairly typical loose passive, one or two terrible players but nothing out of the ordinary.
Just wondering how I could have played it better?

1) Anyone make a reraise preflop?
2) Anyone bet the flop? I wasn't sure whether I was up against AAxx here, with that pitiful bet on the flop by MP2 I thought I shoul have check-raised the pot. But I didn't.
3) I call the turn with the flush draw.
4) I make my flush and bet it, could have check-raised.
Curious as to what people might have done if the river had been Ks

The problem with flush draws is that its hard to get paid off on them, the answer to that is not to play them, or play them aggressively in order to pick up the pot even if you miss, and also to provide deception as to what your going for. In this case its a large multiway pot, and your out of position, so your probably better off playing it passively. You could make check raise the pot on the flop and lead out on the turn, but in general the lower stakes you play the less aggressive you should be.

1) Anyone make a reraise preflop? - Only if you are trying to run over the table; not a good idea at this stakes

2) Anyone bet the flop? - AA might not raise you because of the possible straight.

4) I make my flush and bet it, could have check-raised.- The check raise might pick up some money from someone bluffing, but in general leading out is better.

5) Curious as to what people might have done if the river had been Ks - Check fold, with that many people seeing the river I would expect somebody to hit a straight.

He is a favourite on the flop, allthough not by much.

How do you get it to use four board cards in Omaha? Or am I missing something?

1) Out of position a call is definitely the smarter play here.

2) Yes, you should bet to disguise you nut flush draw. Also since you are holding an ace and one is on the board you can't assume someone has an unlikely AAxx. you can only be afraid of 22, 55 and 34 all of which you have a good amount of outs to beat. By betting you may also cause players with midpairs that could hit a set to fold, or other weaker aces that could catch their kickers.

3)Nothing wrong with the check/call on the turn.

3) I think you should probably have bet something as small as $5 again on the river. Everyone knew someone was drawing and you needed to bet an amoutn that would give someone with a set or the wheel enough value to call.
