I am new to Omaha, and probably play it badly. So, lets start posting hands :)
Maybe i should have called on flop, but i liked the straight draw and two pairs.

call on the flop. you only have a gutshot for the straight.

full pot on the turn, 2/3 pot river.

Since the game is 4-handed you can raise this hand preflop, although additional suits would be better of course.

As played call flop, pot the turn. Your raise folds out all worse hands.

And to be fair, you have 3 pair + gutshot. I believe you are against a straight on that much action, though, so I'd say you have 10 outs. Could also be set (raise/call smells like one, or the moronend of a straight), in which case you are drawing to only a handful of outs.

You gave too big of odds on the turn for anyone to pass there, but it also makes it obvious you have a really strong hand, unless this sort of play is standard to you when a scarecard comes. I'd bet the full pot, though, to protect your hand.


I look at it like this. I do do a reservation for the playing level becáuse its really difficult to really narrow down the hand range on that level. I like the reraise on the flop i like to play the hand strong in the beginning of the hand then the cost isnt that expensive. And especially since the the cost reise exonentially on every street. Beside that there are a couple of worse hands that will call you and the only better hand will probaly raise, if he doesnt have a hand like 6647or 4789. With the reraise on the flop you can narrów down you opponents hand to one of the hand above, the low straight, set or twopair. After the other 5 fell on turn, and that he doesnt reraise i think you can exlude any hand with the set o 6.So you must valubet at the river but if you get raised there and have deep stack i would have folded because by then i wold think bmy opponent had the boat with the sixes or quad five. I wouldn be really concerned about the kink, but maybe he have a hand lik a45k wich would be a plausible hand.
