I bet pot, both opponents folded. Given I still held the nuts on the turn and they are likely on a draw should I have bet maybe 2/3 the pot to attract callers or was I correct to bet pot?

for hand 1, it's hard to say if your fold was right or not without knowing the size of the pot and size of the bet...and your position of course in comparrison to the better. I would guess you were behind anyway, so it's a safe fold, even if not the best thing to do mathematically.


hand 2: Do not slow down in Omaha. It's such a drawing game, betting anything less and you're handing them the odds to call w/ their flush draws. Capitalize when you can. Hell, slow down with quads and nut boats..but you have to avoid a club, and maybe even a K or A.

pound it when you're good. Make 'em pay.

I don't think you should have slowed down with the QQs, maybe you bet less than the pot if you suspect other players at the table might be calling you down with weaker sets or two pairs.

In an unraised pot pre-flop I'll bet out with this type of hand since the pot is fairly small. The draws should fear the paired board and the only hand that will reraise is another 9 possibly 9T so that could help eliminate draws and let you know where you stand, you really don't want to go into check call mode with this type of hand.

Hand 2 you have to keep playing fast with all those draws out there
