Omaha #1
2008-07-09

You're playing in an heads-up pot-limit Omaha sit & go, in the fifth hand, and all previous hands have ended by folds to continuation bets on the flop.

You call your opponent's pot raise from the button with the marginal hand of 3 4 7 T.

The flop comes 5 6 K. What should you do?





Check-fold
What did you call for pre-flop if you can't call on the flop with a great draw?

Check-call
Check-calling here is a bit passive, isn't it? By check-raising, you'll win the pot outright often enough, and it might be good to let your opponent define his hand by check-raising - that way, you can decide whether to continue if a third heart should come on the turn. At this time, all you know is that he's got four cards.

Check-raise (correct)
Yep! You have a good draw - although few cards will give you the nuts, you won't need a monster draw when you're playing heads-up. By check-raising, you'll win the pot right away often enough to make you want to check-raise, and if you're called, your opponent will have defined his hand a bit, anyway... Right now, all you know is that he's got four cards.

Bet pot
Your opponent will certainly react, anyway, now that you've forsaken the flow of the game by not letting do a continuation bet. I'd have check-raised this hand with a great draw, even thouh few cards will give you the nuts.
