I played this hand a little loosely, but i was pretty sure I was ahead of both the players on the flop, and had some backdoor outs.

This is as simple as it gets. Most of the time, my opponent isn't calling this huge re-raise with a gutshot, so my re-raise on the turn was a safe bet! Too bad this guy overvalues his bottom set, it was obvious that he was beat, and he couldn't draw to a higher hand, but I could.

There is no reason for me to re-raise with AAxx in my hand since that will give away my hand strength, and AA is easily beaten in omaha. The flop and turn play was an obvious play. Good thing both my opponents overvalued their shitty flushes and I had the best of it the whole way!"

First of all why are you playing so many bad hands? This hand sucks preflop.

Given that on the river you have 14 outs. If you are only holding 2 spades and the nut flush instead of the the K flush I make this play. 42$ to win $190. If you just win 25% of the time you have to make this call.

Here is how you SHOULDN'T PLAY. I got lucky.

Be happy you are playing against fish, no good player makes this move. There's a straight to be had, he could have quad 2's. And don't say he wouldn't play those cards because look at the trash you are playing.

Fold that crap before it gets you caught.

[DoGGz]

Don't under estimate all your opponents. On the turn when you moved AI there are 13 cards in the deck for you to win. 2 Aces, 3 Sevens and 9 flush cards. There is no way you are winning on the turn.

Question, how often do you play omaha on Stars? How many hands/week? How profitable are you?
