Project Omaha Hi

Thanks Courtie and RPM.

After this morning's posting I went on to play a few more hands at $5. This came up early in the session

Full Tilt Pot-Limit Omaha, $0.05 BB (6 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

SB ($5)
BB ($6.04)
UTG ($3.19)
Hero (MP) ($5.49)
CO ($5.37)
Button ($21.29)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 10, J, J, 10
UTG calls $0.05, Hero calls $0.05, CO calls $0.05, Button bets $0.32, 1 fold, BB calls $0.27, UTG calls $0.27, Hero calls $0.27, 1 fold

Flop: ($1.35) 4, 7, J (4 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $1.35, Button raises to $5.40, 2 folds, Hero calls $3.82 (All-In)

Preflop I decided to just call. I had 2 pairs one straight possible and one flush possible. I was only going to play the hand if the flop hit hard. Right/Wrong?

I then called the raise getting 4:1 odds. Right/Wrong?

Bingo on the flop. I had the nuts and raised pot size. The button reraised and to call I had to go all in. One thing that was clear was that I was currently ahead.

The button could have made trip 4's or 7's and I was way ahead of those.

He could have a straight draw. If he held 4567 he would have 8 outs for the straight, 4 outs for a boat, and possibly 8 outs for a flush (I had one of his flush outs). This combination would give him 20 outs and make him favourite. Any other straight draw holding would give him fewer outs. Edit - any card giving him a boat would give me a better one in this scenario. 16 outs and it's close.

He could have a bare flush draw with 8 outs.

He could have an overpair with 2 outs or 2 overpairs with 4 outs.

He could have an overpair with a flush or straight draw, 10 outs

He could have an overpair with a flush draw and an open ended straight draw, 18 outs and he's favourite.

Have I got these out calculations correct? I have a feeling that I will encounter this kind of scenario a lot.

This time the villain needed an Ace, or hearts on the turn and river to beat me. At least the villain had more than 2 outs on the turn in the hand I posted earlier.
