    Default O8b 2/4, flopped monster draw, real scary looking river

    Typical evening 2/4 O8b game on Absolute, wondering what you guys thought of my play street by street. Most of these players were semi-loose and somewhat agrressive though there was only one maniac at this table and he wasn't involved in this one.

    STAGE #293163000: OMAHA HI/LO NORMAL $2/$4 - 2006-02-14 01:00:55 (ET)

    KIARN - Posts small blind $1
    SIXN8 - Posts big blind $2

    *** POCKET CARDS ***
    Dealt to REDRACK [ ]
    GEORGIAAVE - Folds, TVC15 - Folds, YOUROCK - Raises $4 to $4, BIGDOOFOOS - Calls $4, CHILLIN23 - Folds, REDRACK - Calls $4, KIARN - Calls $3, SIXN8 - Raises $4 to $6, YOUROCK - Calls $2, BIGDOOFOOS - Calls $2, REDRACK - Calls $2, KIARN - Calls $2

    I don't really mind calling 2 bets with this type of hand, especially on the button though I didn't like having to call the 3rd. People go nuts when they pick up AA or any naked A2 here, so I am probably behind here.


    *** FLOP *** [ ]
    KIARN - Checks, SIXN8 - Checks, YOUROCK - Bets $2, BIGDOOFOOS - Calls $2, REDRACK - Calls $2, KIARN - Calls $2, SIXN8 - All-In

    was leaning towards raising here, nut flush draw, top pair, second nut running low draw and an inside straight draw. I thought about raising but that would force out the A2 hands which may call 1 bet here and potentially get trapped with a nice turn card, so I decided to call. In retrospect I think that was a mistake. That SIXN8 wasn't really all-in I think he pulled the old D/C all-in thingee (already reported him)


    *** TURN ***
    KIARN - Checks, YOUROCK - Bets $4, BIGDOOFOOS - Calls $4, REDRACK - Raises $8 to $8, KIARN - Calls $8, YOUROCK - Calls $4, BIGDOOFOOS - Calls $4

    turned the nut straight, great right? well no-one folded that made me nervous, why didn't they fold. Either I am tied, well thats okay still have clubbies, they hit the ass end of the straight, they have club/spade draws or some of them have sets

    *** RIVER ***
    Checked to me, who also checks

    quite suprised it was checked to me here, I thought about value betting but not much is going to call that I beat and people may be trying for the check-raise or have a small FH which they aren't crazy about

    I am not the greatest L08 Player, I'll admit that, but I think I may bet for value her on the river. I think it's a +EV play here. There are only two sets we are really fearing, 10's and J's, (7's and K's would need the case pair, possible, but unlikely). I think It's enough +EV move to risk the variance, and make the value bet.
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.

    Luck is a Residue of Design.
