KoRnholio will become famous soon enough
Ultimate Bet Pot-Limit Omaha High, $1 BB (9 handed) converter

MP3 ($50)
CO ($44.55)
Hero ($83.25)
SB ($48.95)
BB ($165.10)
UTG ($101.80)
UTG+1 ($154.55)
MP1 ($89.10)
MP2 ($42.20)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 8, 8, 7, A. MP3 posts a blind of $1.
UTG calls $1, UTG+1 calls $1, 1 fold, MP2 calls $1, MP3 (poster) checks, 1 fold, Hero calls $1, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($7) 2, 2, 8 (7 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, MP3 checks, Hero bets $4, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls $4, UTG+1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds.

Turn: ($15) 9 (2 players)
UTG bets $4, Hero raises to $15, UTG calls $11.

River: ($45) Q (2 players)
UTG bets $45, Hero ...

I just had a very bad feeling from the turn onward. Thoughts?
Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

hmm well i cant see how he can call the flop with 99, and i cant see how he can bet the turn with QQ. Also im not too hot on omaha starting hands but there cant be too many hands he can call UTG with 22 preflop. Unless he has like... A2sA2s or something like that i guess he might call but i dont know how omaha works. In short im talking outta my ass but i think my plan from the turn is to try and get to a cheap showdown by betting the turn but checking behind on the river. When he comes out showing huge strength after you have been betting the whole way on the river you only have 2 reasons you can call.

1) He is capable of insane bluffs
2) He is a total muppet and and thinks T J 2 A is winning.

I think you have to fold if these don't fit. I don't know enough about omaha for you to trust me though. Ive played a bit of H/L but no regular omaha.
gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

I vote 'muppet'.

Only someone who REALLY doesn't like money would play QQ, 99 or 22 this way.

However, his actions make sense for a bad player with:
a) Straight
b) 2Q or 29
c) Busted flush

Assuming he's as terrible as the average PLO player at these levels and you have no read to think otherwise, I probably push over here. Even if it's just paying him off, you can reload and punish his bad play aferwards.
