Well before the flop, I'm betting the pot, thrilled to be doing so with doublesuited aces. Then, the flop hits, and I STILL have the nuts! I figure it would be too suspicious if I didn't keep representing strength, what with the size of my preflop raise. So I go and bet the pot again, and everyone gets out. Could this hand have been slowed down?

Okay... my thinking on this hand... I had to jam the pot on the flop, with the nuts, hoping to shut out the weak draws. Unfortunately for me, the weak draw stayed in, and hit another spade. What is your play here? Do you keep the pressure on, and scare the opponent out? Do you slow down and continue cautiously? Do you put him on two spades and get out?

On one final note... does it make a difference that these are penny tables and not a group of strong PLO veterans? Is there a different style of play one needs to adopt for this environment?

Anyway, that's all from me... discuss.

Hand 1 - No problem at all with betting the pot here. I would have bet 1/2 pot just to try to keep a 2 pair or straight draw in, which will happen at these limits. you could also check here, they will assume you raised AA but do not have spades, when you bet the pot you are screaming I have AA and 1 of them is a spade.

Hand 2 - when the 2 of spades hits take the free card. If your willing to bet .87 on the turn why not take the free river card and call .87 on the river if you do not fill up and you get him all in when you do since he has to have something and he will most likely bet into you after you showed weakness. Although he did have only .27 left but at this limit that is 12 big blinds, save it.

I would like to add that with a short stack this guy should have jammed the pot on the flop with top 2 pair and a flush draw, I don't like his play at all.

Heheh... remember, these are penny tables. I think you're giving my opponents way too much credit.

Hand one was fine, you where only getting more money from someone with a K or Q high flush (or maybe T high) or a set, don't want to let the set draw free.

Hand 2, this is what makes Omaha so rough. You pretty much have to give it up here - slow way down. Really sucks when it happens on the river after you have already put in two pot sized bets.
