I know I would have just hit the pot button 3times (pre / flop / turn) and had a no brainer

c/f

this is a really good spot to CR since 3 people have position on you

Depends entirely on what you know about the villain. If he's a station it's hard to bluff here when pretty much everything completed, especially considering he's a short-stack.

I c/f pretty often but if I'm stuck I probably just bluff because we have the ace of spades and it'll work pretty often.

I think a turn checkraise my be better if his opponent has ''floating tendency's''. Of course i suppose OP does not have that kind of read, so pot check raise on the flop is pretty standard. If no one bets the flop and the turn brings more draws in, check raise the turn - if its a safe card just pot it yourself OOP


You need to pot preflop btw. Losing ev+ there

Why the minraise PF?

easy fold

easy fold
u dont have to pot preflop
i also like a flop checkraise. turn check/raise sucks HORRIBLY

if you're UTG you should definitely raise more than the min. With everyone to act behind you there is a chance someone will 3bet pot and you will be able to 4bet a much larger percent of your chips if you raise a bit more to start

lol ihad a similar thread a while a ago and got flamed for minrasing. Dont do it, either flat or pot. I would be more inclined to pot it if i had been raising a lot from past hands but still, i think its pretty thin to pot, at least at omaha 50. Think about it only good flop for u is Axx CCxx, so not many plus u are OOP and ur FE on Cbts will be close to 0.

So just flat pre flop and setmine baby.

c/f here
