    Stolen from Big Dave D's blog.


    Imagine you are on the turn of a PLO hand against two other players, A and B, to be original. There has been a some action on the flop, say a bet and some calls, and the turn presents you with the delight of a nut flush draw and top trips, and you are last to speak.


    However, there is also a clear straight visible. The pot contains $100 dollars and you and your foes all have $1300 left.

    1) What is your strategy? Assume A and B are not idiots.

    2) What do you do if A bets out and B raises?

    3) Is this any different from A checking and B betting?

    4) If you could choose a betting order, what would you choose?

    5) And lastly how would having bigger stacks change things?

    Because I'm bored in work... here were my first answer before I read the comments on Big Dave D's blog.

    I want to get all the money from all 3 players in the middle on the turn. I don't want to be headsup with money behind on the river, from what I remember of my omaha reading I'm a only a small dog to win against 2 players. I'm guessing that at least one of the players has the made straight, the other hopefully has the same straight or at least something to chase going to the river.

    Depending on the amounts bet and raised I'd probably raise.

    If A checks and B bets I raise, not full pot though. I hope A reraises.

    Me first, I bet out then A then B hoping for a reraise along the way.

    Not sure of this one. Maybe that I should raise more to get more money in the middle, and check (hoping for a reraise behind) less?
