I agree with p0ker_j0ker , I do not like slow playing in Omaha. But I will slow play all day in Holdem'

That weakness sets up a strong bet on the river.

Quizy just doesn't get it. There are virtually few outs in this hand for villian. I don't mind 1/2 pot. But I sure hate pot and prefer check on the turn./

I don't agree at all. Slowplaying should be used very rarely and these are not the conditions for slowplaying at ALL. I think there are also enough possiblities of flush and straight draws with the extra club and 3 opponents left.

The fact is there are certain conditions for slowplaying and these are not them.

The pot is pretty large, around the 7-8 dollar range and there are more than 2 opponents left, at least one of them has to be drawing and if you know they are on a draw you HAVE to bet, because you won't get any money out of them on the river if they miss.

You may play a lot of Omaha but it is a definite hole in your game if you are slowplaying large pots with multiple opponents.

Am I the only one who noticed he flopped a BOAT!??!?!?

Nevermind. And I really don't suck at Omaha as that comment might indicate. Still answered correctly, even with trip aces, you gotta come out.

I always bet the turn no matter what! Regardless of the game. There is a certain degree you can slow play, but I feel its really
hard to do in omaha.

well i think that slowplaying is a good strategy in the game....cause when you flop the nuts it gets difficult when you try to bet...sometimes its just better to sit back and call then wait til your time to push......

I like to slow play however if I see someone I think has good hand I may play it aggressive aswell. but most time I let players bet into me.

In that situation it shows why u don't slow play. It's a bad habit and im glad i play aggressive all day! How do you get in the poker quiz free rolls???

i think slowplaying is smart but shouldnt be overused bcuz then ppl will read u too well... u need to mix it up
