Triple Up

[Detroitdad]

I had been playing about 25% of my hands. Just lost a decent pot (bad call on my part).

This is a hand I will limp or raise with, but this time I decided to just call pre flop.

The flop gives my a bunch of ways to improve, I bet out. There is a call, and a raise. Gets back to me. I hesitate for a few seconds, trying to figure out which of my outs are good. With only 6.65 left, I was pretty sure if I called, that I was going to play it all the way through. I couldn't think of many cards on the Turn that were going to get me to fold. Probably should have just re potted it?

The Turn brings me even more chances to boat up, still had the flush pending, but wasn't expecting it to be good.

I didn't have a read on either of the players, but at these stakes, in PLO, I pretty much play my cards/situations vs the players at the table.

I think that you have to re-pot it on the flop, but then (as I mentioned last night), I'm terrible at Omaha.

After the hand, that is what I figured I should have done. I thought about it, but I just didn't pull the trigger on it. Especially, if I don't think I'm going away anyways, then why not repot, maybe chase someone out of the hand..........Its so much easier figuring out hands in hindsight, lol.........

I thought you played fine last night. I like having an HPT'er at the table, keeps me honest.

We both almost double up before leaving

I agree with 2ToGo.  Ship the flop.

x2...I think its the right play to get ur money in good...it may even also eliminate a possible higher flush draw (if there was one). On that draw heavy board...it seems like the best bet to me.

Normally on this type of flop, I don't hesitate to get my money all in. I think two things kept me from doing it, 1. I didn't have the best hand at this point, or didn't think so, and 2, multiple players in the pot.
