I Can Be Taught

liquid's YTD: $775.35

I'm slowly learning some of this basic PLO strategery. My latest lesson is betting out with top two pair or a set on a flop that suggests an obvious straight or flush. Case in point:

Omaha Hi $0.50-$1 PL (real money), hand #813,xxx,xxx

Seat 2: Foe (UTG, $55.25 in chips)
Seat 7: Hero [KS,9S,AC,3D] (MP3, $48.75 in chips)

ANTES/BLINDS
SB posts blind ($0.25), BB posts blind ($0.50), CO posts blind ($0.50).

PRE-FLOP
Foe calls $0.50, UTG+1 calls $0.50, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, Hero calls $0.50, CO checks, Button calls $0.50, SB calls $0.25, BB checks.

FLOP [board cards AH,JS,KD ]
SB checks, BB checks, Foe checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero bets $3.50, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, Foe calls $3.50, UTG+1 folds.

TURN [board cards AH,JS,KD,AS ]
Foe bets $10.50, Hero bets $21, Foe bets $40.75 and is all-in, Hero calls $23.75 and is all-in.

RIVER [board cards AH,JS,KD,AS,2H ]

SHOWDOWN
Foe shows [ JH,6H,8D,JD ]
Hero shows [ KS,9S,AC,3D ]
Foe wins $6.50, Hero wins $97.

I suppose this is the natural inverse of my desire to disguise my hand when I flop the nuts with no re-draws.

This game can be fun, sometimes.
