Omaha hi lo hand

penguin7

If I play here I am going to be pot committed. Holding the nuts low, but do I have enough value on the high hand to avoid getting quartered?

  For me i dont like your line after the flop at all. Calling preflop was fine and you have a hand that is well worth a look.

  The flop is just about perfect for your hand and you were right to bet out with multiple nut draws. But the half pot bet is weak and represents a draw hoping toi arrive whilst at the same times builds the pot up and encourages everyone to call.

  The turn is a terrible card for youdespite the fact that it improves your hand it also completes other draws that were possible.Again you bet out with a bet of a third of the pot which again is just building the pot and encouraging multiple callers.

 The river is also a bad card for you because you are in a 4 way pot and at best you are looking at splitting the high and the lo.Yet again you lead out weak with a half pot bet and meet major resistance. I personally dont know about quartering you could easily be looking at picking up only a sixth on this hand and at best only really getting your chips back.


  So for me the line on this hand would be to pot the flop and check the turn and possibly check call on the river.As played i would have to fold on the river because you are going to be asked for your stack with at best the chance of getting your chips back which is not a good deal.

  The key to playing down the streets is to either take the pot out of control for others and therefore have control or keep the pot small until you have it locked down and then to squeeze as much value out as possible.
