Remember, in PLO people always have outs. Bet your hands.

Why wouldn't you bet a dry side pot with the nuts?

thats what my thoughts were, but after getting berated at the table for making the bet, it made me doubt my play. i would think that they felt if i hadn't made the bet it would of been a better chance to eliminate someone from the tourny with the check down. i do tend to check down when it gets close to the bubble to try and eliminate players and make the bet on the river when i'm sure of the nuts. i felt it was way too early in the tourny to think that way and it would be best to isolate and or get someone to call down with a flush draw.

Meh, I bet side pots whenever I think I have the best hand in a tourney.

Bluffing dry sidepots is retarded but if you think you've got your opponent (the non-all-in-one) beaten then why not bet?

dont slowplay in omaha

[x] trap is still in place
