There are obvious spots where we flop 2pr or better or spots where we flop total air and the board is somewhat dry. However, there are a lot of middling flops that depending on position, stack-sizes, and opponent types can be fairly difficult spots.
Spot 1, the naked flush draw
Eff. stacks 130bb's
Hero opens :Ad: :Qd: UTG+1 to 3.5bbs, BTN calls, BB calls.
Flop (11bb) :Jd:
BB checks, Hero....?
Spot 2, the unimproved AAxx KKxx
Eff. stacks 95bb's
Hero opens :Ac: :As: in the CO to 3bbs, SB calls, BB calls
Flop 1
Flop (9bbs) :Th:
2 checks, Hero?
Flop 2
Flop (9bbs): :Th:
2 checks, Hero?
Flop 3
Flop (9bbs):
Spot 3, strong draw deep
180bb's effective
UTG limps, Hero raises :Ac: :Qd: :Qc: :Td: UTG+1 to 4bbs, BB calls, UTG calls
Flop (12bb's): :Kd: :Jc:
Hero (bet/call, check/call, bet/3bet, bet/fold)
hand 1-very easy c-bet/call a raise against most players, you rarely get raised by a worse hand and with position there are so many turns that suck for his made hand that he c/red, any 7,T,8,Q,K, diamond.
hand 2-I rarely c-bet this texture, too many middling hands have hit this board but if the turn is a brick, I would call a decent amount of leads and bet when checked to, to pay for the infinite straight draws on this board.
hand 3-same thing but even worse, a pretty easy check back and be done with the hand, horrible board to c-bet.
hand 4-completely dependent on opponent but default is a 2/3 c-bet.
hand 5- anything but bet/call is pretty silly unless its purely for value against his range, this hand is strong but not having the NFD to go with your wrap really hurts your equity if you do get in the money against his range.
I c-bet about 80% of flops, most flops you can just bet/fold since Omaha is about not allowing your opponents to realize their equity so something like KKQT on a A46r or even A46tt board is a pretty easy c-bet, you would love a naked ace to fold, you can be called by worse, and a random 4/6 with a gutter, has at least 35% equity which will usually fold unless they are very loose and passive.
