Omaha H/L hand

[tenbob]

Ok Dorkus and everyone else pull this one to bits, i won the hand but i think that i was on the lucky side after the river. I think that the starting hand was good enough and i felt that i forced people to chase it after the flop. Unsure about the river bet though.

A hand like that is marginal - I don't think you lose much if anything in the long run by passing it, especially when out of position.

That said, when you flop the nuts and nobody else shows any aggression, it's usually fine to charge people for each card as they're often on crappy low draws or lone flush draws, 4-outer straight draws etc. The worst case scenario here is that you're up against someone who's flopped the same straight as you but also has spades, or something like KQJJ with 2 spades - but even at .02PL I'd expect someone with hands like these to be raising.

So you have flopped the nuts, there are few strong draws out there and nobody is showing any aggression, so you played it fine.

A basic rule in low limit O8 is people will call bets with the stupidest crap, especially when only one or two low cards flop, but when they start raising, then it's time to pay attention.
